man oh man, i got matched with an awesome gifter.

after exchanging messages we agreed that the gift didn't HAVE to be related to the whole arrested development theme and that any "gift" would suffice. i gave him some hints as to what i was in to and mentioned that i was actually saving up for a somewhat expensive hydration pack which i would use for mountain biking and going to festivals and whatnot...

honestly i thought i would get an amazon gift card for like $20 or something but this guy totally blew my mind... i walked up to my house yesterday and there was a package from Ebags - i ripped the package open and inside was THE EXACT backpack that i was saving up for -- easily over $100 with shipping.

absolutely amazing gift and THE best item i've received since starting reddit gifts. im still shocked.
