When Bill Gates Is Your Secret Santa

Reddit has a Secret Santa program where anonymous users can buy and exchange gifts with other anonymous users, and as it turns out a Redditor named Rachel had Bill Gates as her Secret Santa. From All Things D:

So what did the billionaire give as a present? Enclosed with the card was a book and a stuffed cow. But the real present was a donation of an actual cow to Heifer International, an organization that helps to fund education and support small stakeholder farmers.

A thoughtful gift! The last time I was part of a company Secret Santa program, the limit was $20, and I bought a running watch device for a coworker who was considering running the marathon, and I received a gift bag full of jars of Nutella and almond butter, which I consumed within a week.
