I submitted a long, stream-of-consciousness style post with my likes/dislikes for this exchange. I had no idea what to expect for my first Arbitrary Day.

Of the numerous this I talked about, I mentioned that random things from the gifter's hometown would be entirely appropriate. I love supporting local business, and small town crafty items are my favorite. My Secret Santa delivered! I received a lovely note telling me about his life and his town. Turns out we've got a lot in common! I received a book of short cat stories for my kittens. They've enjoyed cuddling and reading some of the stories already with me. I also received some bacon soap and bacon band-aids. I recently swapped to a ketogenic diet, and I eat a lot of bacon. My Santa is a med student, so I thought bacon band-aids were perfect!I also receive a finger puppet, 2 tiny good luck animals, and a fishbowl! It's a piece of handcrafted pottery from his small town, and a visual pun. I love it!

Thank you for making my first Arbitrary Day awesome! :D
