How jammy can you be?

Every year, Microsoft founder and noted bajillionaire Bill Gates takes part in the Reddit Secret Santa, where strangers across the net give each other gifts in the spirit of Christmas.

This year one lucky user, VietteLLC aka Megan Cummins, was lucky enough to have Bill as her Secret Santa. A major fan of Doctor Who, Dave Matthews Band and cats, Bill’s gifts for Megan really hit the nail on the head… and will absolutely put your own office Secret Santa to shame.
