THIS EXCHANGE WAS AWESOME!!!

Alright, let's start from the top. When I first got my gift, I opened it to discover a picture of Jeff Probst of Survivor greeting me and informing me it was time for the merge. So I needed to find my idol for safety, PRONTO. I got my clue, helpfully taped to the top of the box that informed to to remove the clock and get to work on untying a box, a survivor favorite challenge! It's not a survivor challenge if you don't have to untie some knots! I'll tell you, if this was a timed event, I don't think I would have made it!

I removed a box, one made of pine and it looks like it was laser cut? I'm not sure if my santa did this themselves or if it was purchased like this, cool either way! I untied my knots and discovered my idol within! A very cool tiki-looking head made from a 3D printer, super cool! This idol looked like it came straight out of survivor! As an added bonus, my santa got me a book full of patterns for box making on a scroll saw, double score!

Seriously, this gift was very thoughtful and the way to it was presented was seriously amazing. I'm a big survivor fan and my santa capitalized on this big time, very creative and inventive. My present for box making is perfect because I love making things on the scroll saw; I often make things on my saw for these exchanges for my own giftee! I love my idol, my book, the box, and the experience. I still have a giant grin on my face and I'm so grateful my santa made this an awesome experience and exchange. Thank you so much!
