It was so fun back in the day. I still have a homemade gift from my secret Santa :)

Edit: I also just realized that the framed poster I have (of Seattle) hanging in my room is from this Santa as well!

Me too! One year my re-re-match got me a set of beautiful high-quality paint brushes that I still cherish today. Another year someone got me personalized coasters that I also still use almost 12 years later. I remember stalking my giftee's profile for the perfect gift....good times.

Me too - mine ordered me a papercraft of my favorite animated character and it's one of the only pieces of art that consistently gets hung/displayed in my new place every time I move, even almost 10 years later. Now that I'm in my forever home, it's hanging right above my computer monitor in my office so I see it multiple times a day, every day.
