I'm really sorry this is a little late posting. I became really unwell the day it arrived and have been bed ridden since. I am however super excited about the gift still.My match went above and beyond really researching my interest from my limited reddit posts and the previous exchanges I'd participated it. As soon as I opened the box I knew everything in there was going to be amazing.

The wrapping paper was the absolute best I have EVER seen. I don't know if somehow my match new this or she just fluked on the perfect wrapping paper for me but I love globes and maps, especially old style world maps.

At first I was opening the presents really carefully to try to preserve the paper but as soon as I glimpsed the first one I open (the oven pull)I knew that this was possibly going to be the best exchange I had ever pasticipated in. My match had gone to a lot of effort and nailed everything to a tee. I then opened what I though was a chocolate bar from her local area. I found out yesterday that it was in fact nougat and it was DELICIOUS. Also it is called 'BIG HUNK' so it must be great. I can't decide now if I want to look it up online to see if I can get a carton of the stuff shipped to Australia or if I should try my hand at making my own nougat. I didn't think I liked nougat but I have been converted. I then opened the next gift. I was a mind puzzle. I recently participated in the puzzle exchange and I am so obsessed with jigsaw puzzles that I had forgotten to write in that exchange info that I also love mind puzzles. My grandfather collects mind puzzles so all of my Christmas memories since I was little involve the whole family attempting the different puzzles in his collects and even if we could do the the year before by the time Christmas rolled around again we had forgotten. I am totally psyched to show this one to my Grandfather, hopefully I will have solved it by Christmas. The final thing that I opened, the pièce de résistance, was a huge 4D Cityscape jigsaw puzzle of San Francisco. You somehow build a 3D puzzle of the city and it changes over the decades outlining the history of the city. I have seen these types of puzzles in the shops before and always wanted one but could not justify the expense of such a luxury item for my puzzle collection. I am pleased when I get myself a good quality one! Anyway, I haven't started my puzzle yet. A recently spent a few months in hospital and my dad flew out from Japan to look after me and we spent day after day doing puzzles together. He is coming to visit again in a couple of weeks so I am saving it up to do with him. Anyway. That is my entire excited ramble about my gifts. Thank you thank you thank you so much secret santa. You are the best! If I could rate this higher than a 10 I would
