I'll have to preface this with the fact that yesterday, when my magical mystery box arrived, I was having "one of those days" where nothing was going right and I was ready to just toss everything in the air and say screw it. But then I was informed that I'd received a package and asked to pick it up at the front desk. I assumed it was something I'd ordered from China that finally arrived but my whole day turned wonderful as I realized it was my secret santa gift!

Now I was at work, and being pretty close with my coworkers, I had mentioned I was doing this so my coworkers asked me to open it so they could see what I got. First thing I saw was this gorgeous Slytherin beanie that I am actually wearing already today. Then, a big heavy box containing a makeup kit with tons of gorgeous, pigmented colors that I also put to use today. Next was a pair of the most adorable cat earrings to sweetly show off I'm a proud cat mom xD and then a little plush kangaroo who is super soft and lovely.

Reading the note from my santa, not only had he picked perfect gifts for my interests, he also sent me a little kangaroo to pet as I mentioned that petting a kangaroo was on my bucket list. And the little guy will definitely be receiving tons of pets and hugs.

So to sum it up, my first Reddit secret santa was amazing and I'm so thankful to have gotten such a thoughtful and clever Santa. Thank you again, Eric, I couldn't be happier with these lovely gifts. ❤️️
