Bill Gates had done his research and gifted Redditor Aerrix a ton of awesome things she loved.
A Redditor from Louisiana may have just hit Secret Santa jackpot after her Christmas presents arrived from none other than the world's richest man, Bill Gates. The Redditor, who goes by username Aerrix, shared her excitement over her gifts on the site on December 16 in a long post describing her presents. Because of her wonderful story, Bill Gates is trending on Facebook today.
"I....I'm just speechless," the woman writes in her post describing how she received a huge box delivered addressed to her username. Moments later when she opened the box, she got the biggest surprise of her life. And she immediately called up her husband to share her happy news.
"Bill Gates is my freakin Santa," she told her husband over the phone and made her next call to her mother. This is when she started pulling her gifts out of the box and flipped out a little more with each item she found.
The philanthropist had written her a lovely letter. He apparently knew she had had a bad experience with the Secret Santa game on Reddit earlier and wanted to make it up to her.
The box also contained a Cajun cookbook - "Since you're originally from Louisiana and miss your Uncle's Cajun cooking, I thought you might enjoy trying some of the recipes from this cookbook" says the note written by Bill Gates on the book.

The entrepreneur had done his research and gifted Aerrix a ton of awesome things she loved. "I just had to go for the two unwrapped boxes that said 'Aerrix's Mittens' and 'Clairrix's Mittens' first. My dog's name is Claire, btw, how freakin CUTE IS THAT?! He got me ZELDA MITTENS and you guys, matching ones for my DOWG!" she says in her post.
She had also received three special edition wireless XBOX One controllers along with an Xbox One Minecraft Edition. "There was also a handwritten note from him that says 'I love my XBOX and thought you might like one too,'" she says in her post.
That's not all. She also received the Harry Potter slippers that were mentioned in the letter, a Zelda blanket, a Zelda master sword made out of paper, and three of his favourite movies including The Martian.
The box also contained a Cajun cookbook - "Since you're originally from Louisiana and miss your Uncle's Cajun cooking, I thought you might enjoy trying some of the recipes from this cookbook" says the note written by Bill Gates on the book.
The cutest of all was a special picture frame sent by the billionaire that had in it a photo of Aerrix, her husband and their dog. It was even more adorable because Bill Gates had photoshopped himself in and added Santa hats on all of them.
"Merry Christmas to all y'all out there, and to Mr. Gates, who has the biggest heart and REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A GIRL TO SOME VIDEO GAMES (and video game paraphernalia)! I'm just blown away by his generosity, which went even further than all these gifts because he submitted a donation to code.org in my name to give more students the chance to learn computer science, which is AWESOME because it's something near and dear to my heart as my husband is a programmer and my brother has a degree in computer science," she writes at the end of her post.
Now, wouldn't you want your Secret Santa to be Bill Gates too?
