A Michigan woman living in the Detroit metro area received 81 pounds of Secret Santa gifts from the one and only Bill Gates.

MarketWatch explained that a woman known as “Shelby” (she didn’t want her last name used) had participated in 95 RedditGift exchanges before she hit the ultimate jackpot this Christmas.

The billionaire gave her a heap of presents — with a nod to her favorite movies, books and video games.

Some of the notable gifts include a “Harry Potter” Santa hat, a pair of elaborate Lego building sets (including a giant Hogwarts castle from “Harry Potter”), a retired R2D2 puzzle, and a bound manuscript of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” with scans of the author’s handwritten notes as he was writing the novel.

(Show off!)

“‘The Great Gatsby’ is my favorite novel. I had some lines from ‘Great Gatsby’ in my wedding vows. So this really is a special book to me,” the woman told MarketWatch. “And it is the most fancy book I have ever seen. It almost feels like it needs a case with a spotlight to display it. It is so nice.”

However, she says the most meaningful gift was a donation made in her late mother’s memory to the American Heart Association.

“Your donation to The American Heart Association in my mom’s memory is the most special gift of all. It means more to me than I can express,” she wrote to Gates on Reddit.
