There are so, SO many amazing gifts and connections that happen every single year through redditgifts. I wish I could talk about them all. If you want to experience all the awesomeness, you can browse the gift gallery here . The very few gifts below are simply some of the ones highlighting the variety and amazing extent of creativity, thoughtfulness, and generosity that we witness every single day over in /r/secretsanta , and more are still showing up every single day.

Some Santas made a world of difference to people who really, really needed it

People got to work using their own time and talents to do something amazing

One Santa painted a beautiful portrait of /u/Koink's son

Even if you don't have a huge amount of talent, the effort of fulfilling /u/LC225's wish to get drawn by reddit is unbelievably sweet

/u/BrackenTheKraken drove several hours just to be able to get their match a taste of home

It's exciting to see the cool connections people make

Whether it's getting matched with your polar opposite or buying your match's gift from... your match, only to deliver it shortly thereafter.

Speaking of cool connections, we did have a few celebrities participate...

There were plenty of gifts that made us laugh

Some people got to have awesome experiences or learn new skills

Like ice skating lessons, driving race cars, learning aerial arts, going skydiving, taking a baking class, enjoying a hot air balloon ride, or going to a Knicks game.

Some gifts were insanely generous

Kitchenaids, keyboards (the musical kind), PCs, lots of tablets and Kindles, SO many guitars (plus a few other musical instruments), and even several Xboxes, Wiis, and Playstations can be found in the gift gallery. Oh, and a $5,000 freaking amazing sculpture.

Some of the gifts even came straight from the source:

Radioshack makes it rain

Others mistook "Secret Santa" for "Secret Satan" and made their recipients work super hard to retrieve their gifts

Seriously, this person just wants to watch the world burn. A safe, with the combination on a QR code, littered into a 252 piece jigsaw puzzle.

And a box with no way of opening it?

There may have also been that one time when a Santa accidentally ruined their match's surprise engagement

Oops!

But for the most part, it's just feels so good when you find just the right gift for your match

It can be a kidney for a redditor who is donating her kidney to another redditor a jewelry box that perfectly suits their style and fulfills a need for a jewelry maker, a gift that perfectly combines their love of Breaking Bad and cupcake baking into one awesome piece, turning your match's band's music into a vinyl record, a WWII first aid kit for a history buff in the military, "fancy pants" beer glasses for the homebrewer, or even a potted pineapple plant for the pineapple lover.

Sad you missed out? Inspired to be in the gifting mood?

If you want to experience the joy of giving to an internet stranger, we want YOU! We can still use lots of rematchers to send gifts to participants whose original matches didn't follow through. You won't receive anything in return, but you will get some serious warm fuzzies from sending a gift and knowing you saved Christmas for someone. If you want to rematch, you can create a redditgifts account here and then sign up to rematch here. Learn more about rematching here and in the redditgifts FAQ.
