Lauren I want to take time to tell you how much I appreciate this. I am sorry I didnt get a chance to reply to this earlier, I had been home in Virginia for a week or so and had in the last week found out that my dad has cancer and my mom will have to start dialysis, along with a host of other issues mainly involving a power hungry sister who I dont think I will be able to mend a relationship with and other depressing happenings. Anyway, I just got back yesterday and my girlfriend mentioned I had a package and me being in a borderline depressed state after one of the worst winter holidays I have ever experienced reluctantly opened it. And seeing the care and the attention that went into making this really brought me back and changed the mood in my apartment yesterday much for the better. I really do appreciate you and what you did, and the chocolate and soap are amazing. I love people who make their own things, I actually make my own laundry detergent and have made a bunch of my own climbing exercise equipment like hangboards and such.

This reddit gift exchange has been my favorite thing to happen this holiday season, just 1 being reminded that there are great people out there who will look into you and spend time making you feel appreciated as a person and 2 getting my gift for my recipient, which was a lot of fun and of all the money I reluctantly spent on obligatory gifts for people who tend to not appreciate things you do for them in life but you buy for out of obligation and social contracts, I had absolutely no regrets about the money spend on my secret Santa as I genuinely wanted to make it a special time for them just as Lauren has for me. Thank you and please keep being an awesome person.
