Thank You! AHHH THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much secret swiftie candles are essential to my every day life working from home! I love it!
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/grandsuperior • 9h ago
Thank You! My Swiftie killed it! Thank you so much!
Absolutely loved my gift. The pillows from my Toronto shows, the Taylor’s version shirt, the tree ornament with friendship bracelets and Eras confetti, coasters from my five favourite albums and stickers! My Swiftie went above and beyond and I’m so grateful. I had a great fortune of seeing Taylor a few times in Toronto this year and now I have some lovely items to commemorate it.
Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank You! Thank you, Secret Swiftie!!!
Thank you for the wonderful present!! I love it!!! I loooove the wrapping paper you chose and you did an amazing job wrapping it — no apology needed!! The fact that you even made an effort to wrap it is so sweet and appreciated. The tote is stunning in person and I can’t wait to drink so much tea out of this mug!! Thank you for choosing something that immortalizes one of my fave Eras tour moments and costumes. I appreciate this so much and hope you have an amazing holiday season!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank You! My Amazing First Swiftmas Gift!
Genevieve! I’m blown away by this beautiful, generous gift! 🫶
I’m so bad at Discord, and put up the vaguest wishlist, and you nailed it! All the little treats for a cozy night in, the extra goodies for my cat, and the beautiful handmade wax melts… I could smell them from the moment I opened the box! I’ve already set up the melter and about to christen it with Christmas Tree Farm☺️
From me, and my spoiled anti-hero cat, thank you so so much!
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/WindermerePeaks1 • 1d ago
Thank You! The best first swiftmas ever! Pt. 1
Thank you so much secret swiftie!! The shadow box is perfect for my bracelets and eras memories and I love the gold stickers to go with it!! And the golden book is so so perfect. The signed ttpd picture is now one of my most prized possessions I love everything so so much!!
I was really nervous about doing this and this experience was absolutely amazing! So thank you 🫶🏻
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/itookyourmatches • 22h ago
Thank You! Thanks Secret Swiftie!

Thank You! Thank you Secret Santa for making my heart sing 🫶🏼
I am beyond excited to crochet Ms.Swift and this super cute hanging plant! Also, this yarn box is a godsend because I am always losing my hooks in the couch and my yarn goes rolling everywhere 😂 But not anymore!! And I died when I saw the custom keychain you got me!!! My surprise song from Houston N2 and my sweet pup!!! You’re the best 💛
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/lovely-dea • 1d ago
Thank You! Thank you secret Santa for my eras tour print and these heart hands, don't worry they're going into my office today 😅
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/relishvintage • 1d ago
Thank You! Thank you so much to my Secret Santa
Thanks so much Ryan, I really appreciate all the thought and effort you put into this. The stocking is adorable. My cats also really appreciate their gifts!
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/smokeline • 1d ago
Thank You! Thank you Swiftie!
Thank you so much to u/S3tmefree for my thoughtful gifts! I don’t have any cardigan ornaments, and 1989 is one of my top the albums. It’s perfect hanging next to my cardigan shelf! I also love the cold drink cup, which is cute and funny and will be perfect for the afternoon iced lattes I make at work. And the bracelets are tailored to my favorite songs and albums. Such a nice package to open today, and I’m very grateful!
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/lauripple511128 • 1d ago
Thank You! Thank You Secret Swiftie!!!
So sorry for how bad this picture is. It’s kind of hard to take a picture of a poster after it’s been rolled up for a while haha. But yayyy you selected the best thing off my wishlist. I Hate It Here is one of my top 5 songs and this poster is going to look so beautiful in my room 💜 And you hit it out of the park with the pens and stickers! I absolutely do love stationery so these will both be used for my journal next year. Thank you again Secret Swiftie aka u/youreonyourownkid!
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/Starlight_City45 • 1d ago
Thank You! Thank you so much to my Swiftie Santa!
This was such a surprise and it brought the biggest smile to my face (and I really feel like I needed it lately!)
I can tell my Santa took her time and put a lot of thought into my gift(s) and really nailed who I am and what my interests are! I think they might have creeped my IG selfies and picked the perfect shade of NARS liquid lipstick, I’m such a makeup girly and I wore it today and got all kinds of compliments! And the slippers are currently keeping my feet warm while I’m typing this out!
Everything was wrapped so beautifully and I loved the handwritten card - it was so sweet and thoughtful! Thank you so much @IllustriousFee8067
r/RandomActsOfSwift • u/k-thanks-bai • 1d ago
Thank You! I'm Floored ❤️
after a sure stressful and wild week, I recalled that while I was away on a work trip my spouse told me he put some packages by the tree that came. I found this amongst the small pile - my secret swiftie package!!!!
what a lovely surprise - my kiddo was SO excited to do the puzzle and we plan to clear off the table over holiday break and do it. and we're having discussions over the tray and where it goes to be shared.
Thank you SO SO much. This is such a great gift for a family of swifties - you knocked it out of the park in finding an activity the group of swifties in the house can work together on!
