I entered the Pokémon exchange for my 7 yr old son. We don't let him play PokémonGo, but he reads the comics and watches the shows and collects stuff. Figured this would be awesome.

I was so right!

My secret Santa reached out with some clarifying questions, and I answered, unsure what would come. I got shipping notification a few days later for MULTIPLE packages, which is a first for me.

The first arrived last night, right as the boy was getting ready for bed. I'd not told him about the exchange, so this was an extra cool surprise for him. I explained the exchange and how it worked. We opened the package and he was over the moon to see a block Pikachu and a Pikachu hat. He grabbed the hat, put it on and said, "I am going to live in this... FOREVER!"

Today another package arrived containing a collection of tiny Pokémon figures. How perfect, we actually have a collection of them already. What we wanted but didn't have, though, was in this bag. A Mewtoo. He screamed and tore the bag open to get at it and found a second, different Mewtoo. More screams of excitement followed.

Santa, you are amazing. He is so happy with his Pokémon swag and wanted me to promise I'd thank his secret santa. You made his week. Thank you so much for really coming through.
