I have to admit, I was pretty down when my original Secret Santa never even bothered to pull my info. This is only the third exchange I've done, and the second where I'd been ghosted by my gifter. Not great odds, and definitely not fun.

Enter Rematch Santa

Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to a GIANT box addressed to me! And when I opened the box, not only had my amazing Rematch Santa sent me a brew-your-own-beer kit, but they had also said there was another package on the way! I'd totally written off Reddit Gift Exchanges, and receiving such an awesome surprise really warmed my cold, bitter heart.

I ended up with a Mr. Beer craft beer brewing kit (Santa always knows!), some very intriguing coffee that I'm going to be trying tomorrow morning, beer-flavored jelly beans, an adorable pillow case cover, and a colorful book of essential spices and herbs that I've already started looking through.

Rematch Santa, you went above and beyond in your gifting. Even the wrapping was perfect for my two cats. I loved every single gift you sent, but I really loved that you cared enough to sign up to re-gift someone (like me!) who had been shafted.

Faith in humanity restored. Can't wait to try another exchange now :)
