I recieved this sparkly parcel marked "DANGER" at my door today. I thought "oh, goodie! My trick-or-treat gift came! But, wait, wasn't that one supposed to be an Amazon package? Oh well, let's see what's inside!"

A pretty white/gold box! That'll be useful for storing crafting supplies! Inside the box is a wide array of assorted items, bats, candy, lights, trinkets...

I searched for a card, surely someone who put this much thought into the package put a card too! Yup, stuck inside the sparkly paper. Hmm, a wizard card! Maybe this is from my Harry Potter Santa? I haven't gotten that one yet... Turn the card over and in a little P.P.S on the back of the card were the words "technically I did send a keychain."

O.M.G. this is from my KEYCHAIN santa! The zero credit exchange, the one with no recommended minimum spending! Talk about going above and beyond!

Everything about this gift is perfect. The note, the card, the wrapping, and especially the gifts.

I absolutely adore handmade gifts and I will absolutely treasure the handmade wooden bat. Santa, I tried searching your signed name for your reddit account to see if you sell your wooden creations, but I could not find it, so please let me know if you have a shop!

Half of the spider bowl legs snapped off, but actually it was a nice little project gluing them back on this morning, and its all back in place now!

The little beads, pins, and keychain are great! My kitties hate collars and are indoors only, but I will attach some pictures anyways. I appreciate the thought of attaching some bling to their collars! But I will definitely find other uses for the charms, I do a lot of crafting :)

The candy and candles are always welcome! I love little leds and candles for mood lighting all year round. Plus I've been meaning to make some little lanterns which I can use the candles for, and in pumpkins!

I didn't win anything with the scratch ticket, but I don't ever buy them so when I get gifted ones, it's always a treat!

The stuffed batty now lives with my other plushies. I actually used to collect beanie babies when I was little!

All in all, one of the best, most unexpected gifts from an exchange that I've ever gotten! Thanks santa!
