This was my first time participating in the Secret Santa exchange, and I was a bit disappointed since I haven't heard from my giftee whether they liked their gifts and my original Santa appearing to have dropped out without contacting me at all.

So, I eventually ended up marking as gift not received. A few days later, I see I'd been rematched and then suddenly, there's a package full of goodies on my doorstep! It wasn't even marked as shipped, so it was a real surprise I wasn't expecting!

Thank you so much, u/abefromen! You did such an amazing job picking gifts and helped make my first SS exchange a positive experience! My dog even insisted on posing for a photo with the gifts! He approves! I hope you had a merry christmas and are having a very happy new year!
