704Kviews
“What to do when Bill Gates sends you a 30lb Pusheen” is not a headline you read every day, but for one lucky Redditor, it’s a sentence that will forever define Christmas 2017.
It’s well-known that Microsoft mogul Bill Gates is a regular participant in Reddit’s annual Secret Santa exchange, and each year, he showers his giftee with the most amazing holiday treasures one could imagine. He didn’t disappoint when cat-enthusiast VietteLLC showed up as his match; the haul she received on Wednesday morning can only be described as an absolute blowout, and included – you guessed it – a gigantic plush Pusheen, which Gates posed with in a photo to prove the legitimacy of the source. “The best part?” She wrote on Reddit after unboxing the delivery. “Knowing that at some point during my workweek, I was drinking coffee, writing a boring email, and Bill Gates was somewhere having a professional photo taken with a jumbo Pusheen and writing me notes about cats.”
Scroll down to see what she got, and cross your fingers that next year, Bill Gates just might be the one playing Father Christmas for you!
Redditor VietteLLC just received the most amazing gifts from her Secret Santa – who turned out to be Bill Gates
“I’ve done the Reddit gift exchange for years now. I love all the silly little gifts,” she writes on Reddit
“I always check out the Bill Gates post and laugh… never for a second even considering it a possibility for me”
“A commissioned, one-of-a-kind cross-stitch of Me and my pal, Bill, and my 4 cats…”
“A $250 donation to The FFRC, a $250 donation to The Stray Cat Alliance, a $250 donation to Town Cats…”
“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”
“30-ish-pound Pusheen. I will die holding this at 90… I instantaneously recognized the big grey blob shape and 2 tail stripes…”
“The best part? Well, second to the donations and gigantic Pusheen…”
“Knowing that at some point during my workweek… Bill Gates was somewhere having a professional photo taken with a jumbo Pusheen and writing me notes about cats”
“P.S. Bill, the video is for you. Please don’t show the internet”

Bill Gates is on Reddit and does secret santa? How awesome is that?
Very awesome
He's done it for a few years now, it's always a treat to see who gets him every year. A LOT of other celebrities, sports stars, etc take part in it actually. If you go on there (https://www.redditgifts.com/gallery/#/) and sort the gallery by votes you'll see every one he's done.

My old work was making me miserable, so I was forced to try something different, two years after...I can say my life is changed-completely for the better! Check it out what i do... http://random.website/1cZR
Very sweet he made donations to the shelters.
If you look at the photos he gave more than that. It just wasn't mentioned.
Kent Obediah Hayton and you're an idiot.

Are you a three year old? This sort of comment is only funny for toddlers

$250 only from a billionaire... Seems about as generous to me if I walked by a cat and smiled. The rich don't really like parting with their money do they?
He donates way more than that in his day to day life. I think $750 worth of donations for a Reddit secret Santa is quite generous.
And what, exactly, have you done today to curb malaria? Maybe we should ask the organizations he gave money to how they feel about it?
$750, actually. Do the math, it's not hard.
Clearly you know nothing about Bill Gates. He donates a huge amount every year to different charity's. He also donated $750 in her name, not his. How awkward for her would it be if he gave loads more in her name and they hoped for the same from her the following year. Charities are great but they can tend to put pressure on you even when you've given money already.
You don't know much about Bill Gates and his family do you. He is not like most billionaires, but your statement does appear true about a lot of them.
This just made my day! Humans can be awesome sometimes :)
