Hey /u/UnnecessaryQuoteness, you are the BOMB. Seriously. I am absolutely blown away by this gift. You are the realest. Sorry it took me so long to post this; the address I included was not my actual address for internet safety reasons (nothing personal) and I had the package shipped to me from there. Anyways, here's a dramatic retelling of me opening this amazing gift:

I was walking home today from class feeling pretty lame because I had recently done the math and realized that I would not be able to get the grade that I wanted in one of my classes, even if I scored perfectly on the final. Lame, right? Anyway, I got to my apartment and saw a package on my doorstep (not surprising because of all the online Christmas shopping I do), so I brought it in, flopped down on the couch, put on some music, and got to work opening the package. I quickly realized it was from you and got excited. You had sent me a very nice message a little while back asking what my favorite bands were, and I was curious to see how (or if) that was going to play out for the present. As I opened the box, a piece of paper slipped out, so I stopped to read it.

Hi again k8toy, here's a gift for you. I hope you like it. This record is autographed by Kristian Matsson

WHAT? YOU WHAT? WHAT WHAT WHAT

So I open the box and there it is, a signed copy of The Tallest Man on Earth's There's No Leaving Now sitting in my lap. Not only that, there's a picture included of him signing the damn album. Speechless. Absolutely speechless. This one really got me too because when I first moved to Austin and was feeling kind of lonely, I went and saw The Tallest Man on Earth perform for the first time. Seeing an artist I've been listening to for so long really made me feel like I was home, and this album is a great preservation of that memory.

But that's not all. I got a phone call from my brother and when I told him the good news, he informed me that there was another part of my present that didn't get sent to me with the package. Not wanting to waste another moment not thanking you for this awesome gift, I asked him to open it for me and send me some pics.

Inside was another extremely sweet note, a chipotle gift card, and a custom 3D printed University of Texas magnet. I can't get over how thoughtful that was. Yes, I AM stressed and starving because of finals! And I have been searching far and wide for some cool magnets for my fridge (it is embarrassingly bare) and the fact that I have a CUSTOM 3D PRINTED ONE from probably the coolest person on the internet is extremely badass. Once I get those in my hands I will be sure to send more pics.

So, thank you so, so much. I really don't know what I was expecting when I signed up for secret santa, but I definitely was not expecting so incredibly thoughtful and perfectly tailored for me. I am extremely lucky to have gotten such a great secret santa (:
