It's really incredible what the individuals participating in this exchange are able to do. I have so many warm fuzzies over the gift(s) I received from my SS. For my first exchange, I had no idea what to expect, and boy, was I not prepared for what was coming to me.

I was asked not to open either of the two(!) packages coming my way until both arrived. OK Santa, I will try my best. I get a notification from my first package and head off, unsuspectingly, to a nearby post outlet only to be handed a large box easily 1/3-1/2 of my full height, (though I am only 5'4",) weighing a modest 8 pounds.(!) The second package arrived about a week later and was a lot less confusing size.

What was inside, oh my Reddit friends, I could hardly believe it, (and still really can't.)
