She opened the box. "I got everything out and laid it out all nice, and there was glitter EVERYWHERE."

First thing she saw was his photo and a signed note from him to verify that Bill Gates really was her Secret Santa.

The first box she opened said "Aerrix's Mittens" and "Clairrix's Mittens" first. My dog's name is Claire, btw, how freakin CUTE IS THAT?! He got me ZELDA MITTENS and you guys, matching ones for my DOWG!" Yes, Bill Gates bought matching mittens for a human and her dog. To answer her question, it is VERY CUTE.
He also bought her that new pair of slippers ...

a Zelda-themed blanket ...
...and these are his three favorite movies that he sent to her.

He got her a paper sword replica of the Master Sword from Skyward Sword.
And he got her a Cajun cookbook because he read her profile where it says she's from Southern Louisiana and misses her family's home cooking. On the book was a handwritten sticky note that said, "Aerrix, Since you're originally from Louisiana and miss your Uncle's Cajun cooking, I thought you might enjoy trying some of the recipes from this cookbook."

She unwrapped three special edition wireless Xbox one controllers, which made her look at the biggest box in the bunch ...
... and it was a Xbox One Minecraft Edition with a handwritten note,"I love my Xbox and thought you might like one too." She writes, "Well yes, yes I would! And I do!"

But he didn't stop there. He also got her a NES Classic Edition, "I've wanted one of these SO BAD! And NOW I HAVE ONE! BECAUSE BILL GATES!"
And like whipped cream on a triple portion of hot apple pie, he also threw in the Halo 5 Guardians game ("Limited Edition, of course") and the new Tomb Raider game and a year's worth of gold membership cards. "WOOOOO!," she wrote.

But the funniest gift in the box was a beaded Zelda-themed picture frame (he knew from her profile that she loves to bead). Inside the frame was a photo of her family with himself photoshopped in. She wrote, "The picture in it is just the best...he used my profile picture on here of me, my husband, and my dog, PHOTOSHOPPED HIMSELF IN, and put Santa hats on all of us! Come on now, that is the cutest thing!"
And, she wrote: "Merry Christmas to all y'all out there, and to Mr. Gates, who has the biggest heart and REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A GIRL TO SOME VIDEO GAMES (and video game paraphernalia)."
