Of course, like every year, reddit secret santa is during finals for me. I almost forgot to sign up this year because of this. But I'm so so so glad I didn't, because my secret santa this year hooked. it. up.

While I was opening the gift, I kind of knew/expected a record to be in there from how the dimensions were and how the box was shaped. I just didn't know which one it'd be, which is still crazy exciting for me. Anyways, as soon as I opened the box, a liquid lipstick slid out and I chuckled a bit because as soon as I saw it, I knew my secret santa was a guy. This assumption was purely from the fact that I would've never chosen that shade as a lipstick color, (I'll be regretting this quick-to-judge assumption fifteen minutes later) but still really appreciated the thought that went into getting me something makeup related because that meant he did his research and he tried :')

I set down the lipstick next to me and pulled out the next thing I saw in the box, which was a neatly bubble-wrapped Alvvays record that I've been wanting for so long! I was aww'ing and going "I love itttttt" over and over again to my mom (who was next to me this entire time, watching me all excited, opening my present the entire time lol). I looked back into the box to see if there were anything else, and there were three more things. A postcard from San Jose, where my awesome secret santa resides, a sheet of Cold War Kids pin button thingies, and a letter.

The letter told me a little bit about him (which was fun, I always love finding out where my secret santa's from and whatnot) and some other really nice things, like how Cold War Kids is one of his favorite bands too. :)

Afterwards, to eventually post my gifts on the gallery, I applied the lipstick he got me and actually ended up really loving the color :b My rating: 10/10 -"yaaas"
