In addition to telling my match a bit about myself, I also let him /her know that my special lady is a bit of a lurker herself, and described her just in case the gifter was feeling ambitious.

Well, my secret santa definitely was feeling ambitious! I got three separate packages - first a set of nerdy decals for my toolbox - one Protoss logo from StarCraft 2 (my race!) and one from Portal - awesome.

Second came a gift for the lady, an artist - a painter's palette and a new set of brushes! Her brushes were getting worn out and sad so this is an awesome addition to her bag of tricks!

Finally came a book that plays to my interests in food and sustainability - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. I've read Poisonwood Bible before and loved it, so I can't wait to dive into this one (and then pass it to the girl, and then to my mom!)

I'll add some photos when I get home but wanted to say THANKS to my anonymous gifter and happy redditmas to all!!
