Lucky Reddit user gets Bill Gates as her Secret Santa

A lucky Reddit user got quite the holiday surprise when the found out the Secret Santa that was assigned to her via the website was Bill Gates.

All the user, Rachel, initially knew is that her mysterious Santa was named Bill.

"I thought Bill sounded like a friendly fellow," Rachel wrote on Reddit. "In fact, I had this whole image of this poor guy named Bill trying to navigate my wishlist full of makeup, nailpolish, glittery things to buy me. Quite frankly I felt bad for this ‘Bill’…"

What Gates ended up giving her was a stuffed cow, a donation to the non-profit Heifer International and travel book Journeys of a Lifetime.

"The first thing I noticed was a stuffed animal. I didn’t know I gave off the stuffed animal vibe, but I excitedly added him to my collection of teddy bears and other delightful friendly creatures. Next, I found the card. To me, from Bill. This still had not clicked, by the way, that it was Bill Gates,” Rachel wrote.

When Rachel saw a photo of Gates with the book and the cow, things did click.

"Wait. Holy sh*t. Time out ... and then it finally hit me. All the presents I just tore open, the charity, then everything - was from Bill GATES," she wrote. "I quickly went back to the book to see a really nice message and note from Bill wishing me a Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday (not pictured, because I really want to keep one part of this gift to myself) my jaw hit the EVER LOVING FLOOR. I went back to all the other gifts completely shocked."

After Gates’s generous gifts, Rachel was feeling a little guilty about one item that she had included on her Christmas wish list.

"ps: Sorry for the Apple ipad on my wishlist, that was really awkward," she wrote.

According to reposts, Gates was serving as a Secret Santa to bring attention to Heifer International.
