I love to gift annonymous people so redditgifts is rigt up my alley. I signed up for the christmas secret santa and have been looking forward to it. I spent time going through loads of profiles and seeing the way people describe who they are and seeing the gifts they got.
I waited as patiently as I could, and behold the day arrived where I could retrieve my giftee. I open up the page and waited forever as those half seconds ticked by and revealed my person....
I read this, "I am a a poor college freshman so I will love anything you send. I mean anything".
I got no clue what to do, so I went to their profile only to find it says, "College freshman just in town from a rural farm."
Ok, I thougt to myself I'll get this person so cool clothes. I sent them a private message asking them to reply with size favorite things so I could know if they liked or disliked well anything.
I waited a few days and no answer. I Private messaged again for at least clothes size.
Nothing.
So being that this needed to be done before a certain dated, I started to think what to do. I got this brilliant idea, I found a plastic farm animals, a box and some soil as well as alfalpha seeds. I wrapped it in a tshirt that cost me nothing in a size Medium just so it will fit either a little bit too tight or a bit loose. Either way they got a shirt for washing day. I thought it was funny. I had nothing to work with but I was chatting with someone and told them what I did and was told that was crummy.
So tomorrow I will go and get a safeway gift card and send it to the person because I was told what I did was crappy and now I feel bad.
On the other end I wrote a long list of things I like and dislike and how much I look forward to exploring more in different areas of life, games and things that are fun. My gift came and it was all I hoped for. We got the table game dominion. I am thrilled. I can't wait till the boys get their schoolwork done so we can play the game tomorrow or tuesday or we will wait till next Saturday and play, post photos and enjoy life.

I didn't think that was crummy at all, personally. I thought it was creative and amusing. I'd have been amused to get a "little bit of home" like that, if I were a poor college freshman.
