In line with his annual tradition of being a secret Santa on Reddit, Bill Gates has sent out his box full of gifts for an extremely lucky Redditor named Aerrix. Needless to say, when world's richest man becomes your Secret Santa, no Christmas stocking in the world is big enough to hold what he has to offer.

On her profile, Aerrix has written:

"I'm a 30-year-old female who loves all things Internet and video games! I absolutely love the Legend of Zelda series and everything Mario, I just love Nintendo in general. I also LOVE the The Little Mermaid, Harry Potter, League of Legends...video games!!"

Understandably, Gates decided to send Aerrix a Zelda blanket, Zelda slippers for her and her dog, and a Zelda picture frame (with a picture of Aerrix and her husband, as well as Gates photoshopped into it).
