UPDATE: Ruggburne sent me a photograph of a gift she made my brother which is a custom made West Coast Eagles clock. Absolutely floored by my santa's generousity.

My secret santa is amazing and purchased gifts for my siblings and myself. I have several siblings and 3 with special needs and offered due to their obsessiveness for my santa to buy for one of them. My sister is always fun to buy for as she says "oooooo" when she loves an item.

Today I sat there staring at the box saying wow! Due to the size of the package and the amount my santa spent to send me a gift from the USA to Australia. I opened the box and reached in for the card sitting on top. It was empty and I was confused. But in a very lovely letter it explained that they could not find a postcard as I requested one and so they sent me a card of a gallery from where they are from which I thought was amazing and random. Love it.

My santa sent gifts and said I could wrap them up and give them to my siblings from myself but no way! I have given my two siblings their gifts with autism. I wrapped them up and recorded them up opening it and thanking Ruggburne by their name. I also recorded myself opening the box but to be honest i went pretty silent and it's a little embarassing. It takes a lot to make me speechless.

My sister is obsessed with owls, teddies, dolls, pink, puppies and anything cute and crafty. She was given a beautiful crochet book and owl onsies for her reborn dolls. My brother obsessed with stars wars was given lego sets and figurines. He said "that's pretty cool" and "90 peices omg that's heaps" Ironically I have had the simpsons house for ages which is thousands of peices and was going to get them to come build it with me so we are going to have a lego building day some time soon.

My other two brothers, one got wow alliance glasses and the other a beer hat and poker set. I loveeeeee the beer hat as he will so wear it! My other brother has a custom clock coming for his favourite sports team. I don't know if he will truly appreciate the gift and how amazing and incredibly sweet it is due to his condition. But I am in awe.

My gift was two plushie giant microbes herpes and staph. One thing I gave my giftee was the pencillin microbe as they were allergic and thought I was hilarious and a genius until I saw at least 4 others had done the same thing and decided we must become friends. I had the strangest feeling my santa would get me these and no idea why. I also am amazed they got me a caffeine molecule necklace. I have always wanted to get one of the dopamine, serotonin etc ones but they looked so big and bulky and unsymmetical. This one is cute and in a square and I have no idea why my santa knew I would like this. Ironically as I cut into the box to open it I thought I need a coffee before I open this what's if it's one of those safe like presents I will definitely need coffee. I certainly got it just not the form I expected. I have definitely become a coffee drink since becoming a pharmacy student.

I was trying to choose the right words to write this and I haven't messaged my santa yet as I don't think thank you is quite enough but I will soon. Will update when I see the other siblings who are away at the moment.

My autistic siblings did the photos with the dolls which is amazing, I think my humour has rubbed off on them. I am not very good with receiving gifts and love the gifting aspect so much but have such a crappy few weeks the fact someone went to so much effort for me a complete stranger and not just for me but my family too just floors me. From one student to another. Thank you Ruggburne. You're an incredibly selfless person. I totally am sending you something back and my sister wants to make you something and send you it. Will inbox you the video of my brother and sister opening their gifts.
