This is my first time participating in Reddit's Secret Santa (I'm new to Reddit) so I really had no idea what to expect, but having ripped open my package and read the lovely note inside, I feel really happy and relieved that my Secret Santa seems to be one of the nicest, friendliest people on Reddit!

Thank you so much for the pretty writing journal and the huge-ass random Australian penny (that sounds sarcastic but I'm being sincere)! Writing is something that I've been wanting to do more of, and I think there is much to be said about the physical act of writing in a beautiful journal. Now that I've finally got one (complete with handy inner pockets) I can write on the go without lugging my laptop.^ Also, while I agree the penny was a quirky gift, I think that's what I like best about it. I don't know why your country felt compelled to make a penny so huge (it's like an inch across - why???!) but I love that it did so ("we don't care if you have to carry a pocketful of these hugeass pennies!"), and the case it came in was really nice.

I wonder what all that penny has seen in its journey across your crazy venomous animal/oddball marsupial filled continent....

Thank you again, Secret Santa, and see you on the Internets!!^
