I guess it had to happen some time... My Santa for this exchange was none other than my SO :D! He went to extreme lengths to keep this hidden from me and, though I don't really like to admit it, he succeeded :P :)!

So here's the story:

On matching day we were sitting together to see which cool redditors would be our giftees. He -thinking fast- told me he had someone he had already had on a previous exchange.

THEN, he asked me if I had any ideas what could be nice gifts. I, being a little researcher and trying to be helpfull, shared my WHOLE LIST of ideas with him! A few days later we went shopping, I bought stuff for my match, he bought something for his 'match'. Of all the things on my list, he picked a windchime. He had me help picking one out, and I was going on and on about which one I liked best but how I didn't think that that would match his giftees tastes, so he bought another one.

THEN he left for a week for work, and asked me to go and post the packages. I didn't know, but he gave me a fake adress. Luckily, or so I thought, the lady at the post office told me: "I'm sorry, dear, but there seems to be something wrong with this adress. The postal code does not match the city, and there isn't a street named like that in that city either... There is one in the city that matches the postal code, though.". Confused as heck I took the package back home and sent my SO a message, so he could ask his 'giftee' about all this. He 'did so'.

He returned from his trip, and a few days later took a half day off from work and went on a new shopping trip, went to exchange the windchime for my favourite and got me nearly EVERYTHING ELSE I had listed, boxed it up and brought it to me.

So suddenly, quite out of the blue, there was a box on my bed, with my redditname on it and he just stood there, grinning, taking in my reaction! I had not been so confused since... well... honestly, my physics exam :P. There was even a pony drawn on the box! Best exchange EVER!!!
