WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Reddit user Calid7, identified by her first name Cali, was shocked when her Secret Santa on the site turned out to be billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates.

Cali received a Loki helmet she listed as her "pie in the sky wish," a book of gorgeous pictures of her bucket-list destination, Africa, a stuffed polio virus microbe, and a donation in her name to Shot@Life, a program that facilitates vaccinations for children in poor countries.

"Melinda and I have been to Africa many times and loved it. I hope you get a chance to visit and check that off your bucket list. Merry Christmas, Bill Gates," he wrote in a note with the gift.

Cali shared her joy on Reddit.

"I can not believe it. I am literally shaking right now I AM IN SHOCK (someone get me a blanket!)," she wrote.

Last year, Gates gifted a stuffed cow to a Reddit user named Rachel to represent the real cow he donated in her name to Heifer International and a travel book from National Geographic.
