I came late to the party with reddit. It wasn’t until a year or so ago that I even made an account and started following subs. This year I decided to join in with the Secret Santa tradition that reddit does every year. Last night I filled out my profile, and Tuesday I find out who I’m sending a gift to.

I’m actually a bit excited at the idea of shopping for a total stranger, based solely on what they’ve shared in their profile. I try to always be a creative gift giver, thinking about the person I’m giving to when I pick something out. My wife will attest that often I’m getting her something cheesy and funny, or meaningful and homemade. I feel like the things I truly want I can just purchase for myself, as many people can. It’s in the act of thinking about another person that I can be creative in my gift giving.

Wish me luck as I try to come up with something cool!
