This was my first gift exchange that I've participated in, and I was very excited to pick out gifts for my match. When the time came, however, I was kinda bummed out that my first match didn't follow through. Then a few days ago, I opened my door to a package that I didn't recall ordering. I popped it open, and was so excited to dig through it once I realized what was going on. The first things I noticed were a pack of color burst Sharpies and an illustrated book on WW2 in 500 photographs. These are really awesome because I'm a HUGE Sharpie fan, and I'm sure I don't have most of these colors. Also, I play a lot of Call of Duty, so the book will be a very interesting read, since it relates to the time period of the franchise's latest game. Along with those, there was also a big box of snacks - salty and sweet! I'm a big snacker, so opening that box inside the box really made my eyes bug out! I even snuck one out to eat before taking photos. ;-)

My rematcher informed me that another package was coming the next day, so onto that. I got it out of the mailbox, and took it inside to rip it open. It was a shirt....but not just any shirt! It was a HISS shirt, modeled after the band KISS, with similarly painted cats' faces. I almost died laughing! It will go very well with my TACOCAT and SNAPCAT shirts!

I can't thank my rematcher enough. This was a really nice surprise!
