Today was turning out to be a very awful day- until I came home to the glorious site of a package for little ol' me sitting on the kitchen counter. "THIS IS IT," I thought excitedly, "my first secret santa present!"

Everything about it was wonderful, down to the last piece of parcel tape. I couldn't even open it at first. I was just too thrilled. I cradled it, felt the paper, tried to guess how much it weighed. (Notice the LOVELY drawing of "use ALL the parcel tape!" that was included.)

When I finally began opening it, I was very careful about it. After all, it said fragile. Upon gently cutting open the top, I was greeted by two wrapped presents, some adorable festive balloons, and a card with MY name on it! SQUEE!

I happily examined my adorable Christmas themed balloons. How cute they were! Little Santa and snowmen! As you can see from the pictures, my ferrets loved them too. Even tried to take them away from me! I can see them pushing them around the room as I type.

The card said to open it last; so I decided to start with the little present first. I vaguely wondered if it could be food, because prior to shipping, pickledinevil asked me if I had any allergies. "Only imitation crab meat and clariton!" I had said.

BEHOLD! Chocolate! Chocolate I had never seen before! Revels? Oh my goodness! Pardon me while I sample this delight! Ah, what's that on the ingredients...? (see picture!) I've already eaten at least half the box. There are three different pieces and they are all in different flavors. The orangey one is my favorite!

Now onto the big present. Upon pulling back the paper I was greeted by the sight of a lovely santa box. It was so pretty. When I opened it up, the first thing I saw was tissue paper with a complimentary reddit alien on it. And when I pushed it aside...

HAND. CRAFTED. POKEMON. KANTO. BADGES.

EEEE.

I was so touched. I couldn't believe it! She made them for ME! WITH HER HANDS. This is so special to me because I am a fimo artist- and so is she! I felt connected to her, it was now perfectly clear why we got matched up. They're simply beautiful. I pinned them to the inside of my jacket right away.

I think they are going to make a great pick up line in the future. "Hey baby, you ever been with a REAL pokemon master?" and then I flash my badges and all the ladies swooooon~

The card was also very nice. This is what it said:

"To k8bit, Hi! Merry Christmas! I hope this finds you well. I hear you're a pokemon master. Ever tried proving it in Kanto? Those bastards won't let you anywhere without proof! Hopefully these badges will help. Also, I hope they havent broken-they've traveled all the way from England! As a fellow Fimo modeller, I'm sure you know epoxy owns all! I hope you have a great Christmas and new year!

Lots of love, pickledinevil xxx

pickledinevil, you were a wonderful stalker santa. My gift made me so happy and brightened up was was proving to be a very gloomy day. Warm fuzzies all around! And a very merry christmas to you too!

PS- She also bought me reddit gold before shipping since she knew the present would take so long to get to America. Wasn't that kind of her?!
