Not only did I receive the most incredibly personal and amazing gifts, I also got a new penpal out of the exchange!

My gifter was so extensive in their stalking that she managed to cover almost all my major loves.

To start I got the makings of a night with my best friend. We regularly get together for beer and Kurt Russell movies. And voila! I got sent two bottles of local beer and Kurt Russell's FIRST EVER MOVIE! I still can't believe the beer made it all the way here from the US.

My favourite musical is Wicked and my gifter actually went to the trouble of contacting someone she knows who works on the show to get me this awesome luggage tag. I've only ever seen the show in London and Dublin and I've never even seen this piece of merch before.

To top it all off she sent me a SIGNED STAR WARS FIGURINE!! How incredible is that. Nerd heart attack. It has taken pride of place on the turtle tank which functions instead of a mantle in our living room.

The card and note she sent with it were so nice and heartfelt. I feel like I have a real future friend in my gifter. She could never know how appreciative I am of her generosity.
