Bill Gates is up to playing Santa again.
A woman who signed up to take part in Reddit's massive Secret Santa gift exchange on Wednesday got the surprise of a lifetime when she learned her username was picked by none other than tech billionaire.
Megan Cummins – AKA VietteLLC on Reddit – shared the unbelievable arrival of the gifts in a post.
“I’ve done the Reddit gift exchange for years now. I love all the silly little gifts. I always check out the Bill Gates post and laugh at how crazy it must have been for that person, never for a second even considering it a possibility for me. HA!!” she wrote.

“I could fit about 5 of me in the box I got. I did, in fact, stare awkwardly at the FedEx guy - I was so far beyond confused. Then I saw my Reddit username and apparently said ‘wwhaaatttt’ in such a weird way, the delivery guy started laughing. I tried to pull it inside and I guess looked ridiculous, so the guy ran back up to help me lol.”

“As Pusheen was being released from his box, I picked up a letter with a picture, and thought it was SUPER weird that someone was so obsessed with Bill Gates as to send me a photo of him. Then I just caught fragments of the letter all at once “a donation has been made” “bill gates”, and my cat’s names. It clicked and I started to burst out loud laughing and crying simultaneously. I was a cliché.”
"My life goal is to fully fund a no-kill cat shelter one day and reform the U.S. shelter system to be entirely no-kill. Cats are my thing. My life-force, my happiness. However you want to put it."
“Mr. Gates donated $750 amongst 3 of my favorite cat shelters.”
She took to YouTube to show off the array of gifts.
Here’s the full list of goodies:
• 30-ish pound Pusheen. I will die holding this at 90
• A $250 donation to The FFRC
• A $250 donation to The Stray Cat Alliance
• A $250 donation to Town Cats
• A Stormy stuffed animal (Pusheen’s sister)
• A tiny Pusheen Ornament
• A book on cat shelters with a sweet note inside he wrote
• A business book
• Silly Dr. Who book for my coffee table
• Dr. Who cardboard Tardis for the cats LOL!

• A $150 Gift card to True Grit
• A miniature Austrian snow-globe with a teeny tiny white kitten inside. Stunningly beautiful craftsmanship.
• A commissioned, one-of-a-kind cross-stitch of Me and my pal, Bill, and my 4 cats that says “Live Life in the Meow”
• A Japanese Daruma with a very sweet message attached to it
• Dave Matthews Band shirt
• Scroll of the map of Skyrim
• Lastly, someone hand drew all the logos of the cat shelters’ cards and on the other little notes. And they carefully wrapped every gift, paying attention to every detail.
Last year Gates went all out for another Reddit user, see her story here.
