My gift in this year's Scintillation Groundhog Day gift exchange is a pair of teal socks, which feel like wool. It came with no signature or note, just the name of the company it's from. I checked with [personal profile] ambyr, and the anonymity was accidental. I will follow up with the gifter to verify that the socks are made of wool.

They feel thick, and thus suited for cold winter days, of which we do still get a few.

In the other direction, I sent my recipient a Sandra Boynton T-shirt and post-it notes. I had them shipped directly from Zazzle, with notes saying "1/2" and "2/2" because the t-shirts and stationery are printed in different places.

All of those things are true and have a lot to do with why I've stuck with Groundhog Day for the past four years, but it would be more honest of me to say that 1) in 2020, I didn't get things organized in time for someone to plausibly ship a package across the Pacific by December (especially given how much of a mess international shipping was in 2020), so I picked a date far enough into the future that I thought our One New Zealander might plausibly be able to participate and 2) Groundhog Day is one of my partners' birthdays and I thought it would be funny if I had a present to open then, too.
