So I was a little worried when my Secret Santa said that my Arbitrary Day Plus gift would be a couple weeks late. I've been eagerly tracking my 5 pound shipment since it was sent last week. Let me say that my gifter did not disappoint! A lot of creativity, stalking, and plain old fun went into my gift. I can't quite do it justice with words and pictures, but here goes:

First, the outside of the box was very creatively adorned in jokes and funny stuff. I saw a quote from Game of Thrones and knew that my gifter had stalked me well (since I don't post in that sub as often as others).

Upon opening the box, I found a marvelous towel with "Don't Panic" embroidered upon it. I love the Hitchhiker's Guide and this little gem will proudly be shared around my house. I hesitate to actually use it (since it's so awesome), but maybe my wife will let me wear it around my neck when we're out and about.

Beneath the towel was a frisbee! My son loves playing at the park and this will be a perfect Summertime activity/plaything.

I next found an envelope straight out of Alice in Wonderland with a mysterious "Open Me" written on it. Clipped to the envelope was a card with my gifter's self-imposed goal of shipping my gift by June 29. What a soothsayer! I'm impressed by his dedication and skill with telling the future.

The letter within the envelope was a 3-page opus of great insights and commentary that I sincerely treasure. I won't get into details or get all mushy but the sentiments in the letter were very kind and really brightened my day.

Lastly, there were four zip lock baggies full of all sorts of seemingly random, weird stuff; which was actually explained in detail in my letter. Some highlights include money (yes, money!) to do some fun and creative things at work, sunglasses to make my friends and I look "mahvelous," some of my gifter's favorite hot chocolate and home remedy, some Game of Thrones themed swag, and a very intriguing "MacGyver" kit bag which I can only imagine could come in handy in all sorts of situations.

My Arbitrary Plus gifter went out of his way to make my day a little better than it was just five minutes ago. Since he gave my his screen name I stalked him and found out that he's a really cool guy who likes to have fun with his family (the colored-in tats are really funny - he'll get this reference).

Thank you sincerely for all of my excellent gifts and for making my first Arbitrary Day (Plus) a truly memorable experience, Jonnybravo9!!! You, good sir, rock the house.
