Like this redditor, but am I the only one who is wondering what the heck you do when you get assigned to be HIS Secret Santa? What in the world would you get him?
Honestly, I’d get him whatever I would normally get someone else.
I’m sure it’s nice to be treated entirely normal for once. I don’t know the price range, but I would probably get him something like this. It’s $22.
I’d want to get him something I’m absolutely sure he wouldn’t already have, so…
An iPod.
A case of Windex.
A box full of assorted money clips.
A pot of jam.
You know what I like about this? The man could very easily, with no effort or pain at all on his part, just sent her a big huge wad of cash. But instead, he actually took the time to go through her Reddit history for clues as to what she would appreciate. And apparently did a pretty good job of it.
Well, not a gift card, or anything tech-based. Maybe something unique from my home town. I’d probably include a nice check made out to his foundation.
And throw in a photoshopped photo with him. He seems to get a kick out of those. Maybe even make it obviously with MSPaint.
I’m gifting some co workers a gift bag of a flavored olive oil, a good salami and a fancy mustard. I think that could work for Mr. Gates. And it was just $25.00 for all three. They even wrapped it pretty for me.
Not only that, but if you think about what his time is worth, and how much time he apparently put into that…It’s very generous!
ETA: I hate to gush, especially over already very privileged people doing small things and getting extra credit for it just because of who they are. But I waste half my day reading this message board, my time is worth nothing, and I couldn’t make myself put nearly that effort into buying a stranger a gift!
