Maister wth the S-Tier gift for his special lady.

Decided to surprise my girlfriend with an Animal Crossing Switch.

I tricked her by telling her she forgot some clothes on a Bag from a trip we had and the Switch was at the very bottom of it!!

These are some some hard times so I want her to have fun and be happy. Enjoy babe!! pic.twitter.com/Bih8SVdFnO
