I gave some vague gift suggestions and somehow you knew EXACTLY what I wanted. I have loved trilobites since probably age 10 or so, when I discovered a "feisty trilobite" referenced in a Life in Hell comic. From then on, I became enamored of the tiny, ancient creatures; their association in my mind with feisty-ness lent them a charm usually reserved for more evolved beings.

When you sent me a trilobite, it warmed my heart like no other fossil possibly could have. It's a really fucking cool gift, and it blows my mind to receive something from a total stranger that even a dear friend wouldn't know that I would treasure. I'm not sure if I posted something trilobite-related on reddit previously to tip you off to my adoration, but regardless, thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best secret santa ever.
