I was so lucky to have been paired with a Santa who just gets me! I made sure to fill out my profile pretty well to make it a little easier on whoever got me, but my Santa really put a lot of thought into my gifts. I was a little concerned since he shipped fairly quickly that he just picked whatever and sent it, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got my gift.

The BEST part of what I received by far was the note that my Santa included with it-- couldn't stop smiling as I read it because I could tell he was as excited as I was that the two of us were paired (we have a lot of common interests).

Ok, so onto the gifts (pictured here with my cat, who thoroughly inspected all items and thanks Santa for the lovely box they came in and it's packing paper). The first item is one of my Santa's favorite craft beers from a brewery near him. He regretted he wasn't able to send my favorite beer (Cigar City Maduro) since they don't get it in Jersey, but I'm glad he didn't because now I get to try an awesome beer that I can't get in Florida- even better! Half the fun of craft beer is trying new ones you've never had before.

Next was a sloth calendar to fuel my love for sloths for a whole year! What Santa didn't know is that I just finished off my last calendar that my boyfriend made me, and coincidentally the last month's photo on that one was a sloth (or treedophile!). Yeah, it's weird. I'm one of those sloth people...

And finally, Santa included Chip and Joanna Gaines' new book. I mentioned that I'm a big fan of Fixer Upper and apparently so are my Santa and his wife! He knew it would be the perfect gift and he was right, since this book has been sitting in my Amazon cart for weeks now and I haven't actually gotten around to ordering it.

All in all, I am SO happy with my gifts and my first ever reddit secret santa was even better than I had hoped. This was really a SS match that was just meant to be. Thank you so much, Santa! All I can hope is that your Santa is as good to you as you were to me!
