There’s no need to argue, I won this exchange. Literally.

But it will need a little bit of explanation first. As soon as I was able to pull my match, I did so and started thinking about what should I send to my giftee right away. I was trying to contact my giftee about her taste in books, since she wrote fantasy is her most favourite, and I didn’t want to experiment with sending her my beloved Sci-fi book since I know a lot of people personally who love fantasy but dislike sci-fi. I was impatient and choose a book I would think would fit her taste, and dispatched it from another site. But right away as I did that, she replied that she would love to read some sci-fi too, since she didn’t know a lot on her own. So I cancelled the order, and instead went to a proper bookshop on my own and sent a package the same day.

Funnily enough, the site cancelled the order, yet they dispatched it anyway. So my giftee was getting two packages instead of one! :D

She of course received the cancelled package first and became concerned about that it was supposed to be cancelled. I found it more humorous than concerning and told her I’m more than okay with her having the two packages. I couldn’t believe what she said – she insisted on sending me a gift too!

To my Santa:

It took me a while to cut trough the packing, because you made totally sure it won’t get damaged and I needed to use all the force to actually open the tankproof packing. But then I saw it – I hold the book in my hands, almost screaming: „YEEAAAAAH!“ :D I cannot thank you enough for Ready Player One. This is the book I wanted to read the most since the film is coming out soon and I thought the trailer for it was totally awesome. I was lowkey hoping you would actually send this one, and you did! My wish was heard and now I can engulf myself in Oasis, thanks to you. :)

To my Giftee:

You sent me a lovely package even if you didn’t absolutely have to, and I appreciate this gesture a lot. I was surprised with 4 amazingly wrapped and thoughtful gifts – two buttons with my favourite commander Shepard and a portrayal of Mark Watney I’ve drawn myself! Incredible that you took the time to make them. The sketchbook I’ve always wanted to buy surprised me a lot and the book you sent me is interesting and I can’t wait to start reading. I’m glad I got to talk to such an amazing person as you and I hope we’ll carry on conversating in the future. :) Thanks a thousandfold!

All in all, you both made my day a thousand times better and I felt like Christmas came again in March. You are incredible people, and I only wish you the best into the future and I hope you’ll carry on having many, many further great exchanges here on redditgifts.
