2015’s Redditgifts Secret Santa exchange has continued a tradition of community members sending fun, amazing, and thoughtful gifts throughout the world. It has been some weeks since our first post of gift highlights. Thousands of new and awesome gifts have been posted and are being posted daily, making it difficult for us to pick favorites. Huge thanks to the r/SecretSanta moderation team for their devotion to helping the community and for sharing their favorite gifts with us this year. Be sure to check out the gallery in its entirety at any time, and part one of Best of Secret Santa 2015. With Secret Santa in its 7th year, we’ve seen a lot of great gifts come through the galleries. You can check out some of our favorites from Secret Santa throughout the years here:

2015 was also another successful exchange for Bill Gates, whose magnanimity is always paired with thoughtfulness and care for his giftee’s interests. Definitely worth checking out the great thank you post his giftee put together.

So many handmade gifts really stood out this year. Some of our favorites included baked goods, needlecrafts, art, and even a very thoughtful and special handmade gift for a blind participant.

There was no shortage of thoughtfulness this year.

Animals don’t only get a lot of attention during our Presents for Pets exchange. Secret Santa 2015 found many Santas getting touching, funny, and very thoughtful gifts for the pet lover participants:

Sometimes fun and silliness rules, as can be seen in these gift posts:

One Santa sent their giftee on an amazing scavenger hunt in Phoenix. You can check out the gallery post and be sure to see this great news piece on the gifting adventure as well.

It wouldn’t be an exchange without some kind of puzzle gift. Or multiple puzzle gifts! One of our most interesting puzzle gifts turned out to be sent to a Santa who sent their own puzzle gift out as well. It’s definitely worth checking out both posts!

Sometimes a great gift is a little bit of torture, as can be seen with the IMPOSSIBOX:

There was no shortage of unique gifts - but some were a bit weirder than others. Here’s a few of our favorites:

This amazing giftee did a parody post of one of our other favorite giftees. The original post must be seen to truly appreciate this one.

While we’re on the subject of awesome giftees, it’s always good to remember that giftees play a huge part in how successful an exchange can feel for a Santa. Often, seeing your giftee’s reaction to the gift you choose for them is 100 times more exciting than even receiving your own gift.

Here are some of the best giftee photos of the year - plus an owl:

That's it for now. Thank you to all of our wonderful Santas and giftees. Unfortunately, there were thousands of awe inspiring gifts we couldn't include here but if you have a favorite gift from this year that didn’t make the post, be sure to checkout the gallery and share it with us in the comments!
