A few weeks ago I started lurking around on Reddit.com. Reddit is a site where people submit content and people can comment or upvote or downvote it (similar to facebook and the Like nonsense.)
So, I found out shortly after they have a subdivision- redditgifts.com and pair people up for a gift exchange. I was signing up for the Secret Santa exchange but they've done a mug exchange, a Halloween exchange and a few others.
I love presents, so I signed up...
We had to write a brief profile about ourselves:
Things that are sparkly, fun, or as seen on TV. I love amazon, sun glasses and things that are funny. Fave TV show is House, guilty pleasure movie is Legally Blonde. I'm not a gamer. I teach English to college freshman, I coach collegiate field hockey. I need a new whistle. I appreciate warm and weather proof hats and gloves. I LOVE stationary and pens. I have a magic 8 bouncy ball (think magic 8 ball, instead of shaking, bounce.) I already have a fanny pack. I LOVE bold, black, strong coffee and jokes about that. I'm a novice photoshopper. I'm a lady. kthanks.soexcited.
...and you can also creep and see what kind of content your match puts up on reddit
...and YESTERDAY I GOT MY GIFTS!!

So, my Santee was not as helpful- I'm waiting for the packages to be delivered to me so I can put them in one box.
Because he told me this: Helpful Tips from FullMetalJoint: love computers, and anything glowy or shiny
The USB- fun? I guess?
The stickers are the little icon/mascot or reddit.
The plant? After some digging I found out that he smokes, ahem, trees. And apparently the symbol of trees on reddit is the pineapple. So there's that.
Do you have other suggestions? Please send one along because I saw this today...and now I'm feeling like I'm not that generous. I scoured the site for a price limit. Some people are ridiculous.
Seriously. A cruise.
