Reddit Gifts is shutting down

This is a bit of a blow. Reddit Gifts is shutting down after a final Secret Santa at the end of the year.

Reddit Gifts has been one of, if not my favourite, things to come out of the internet. It’s the thing I look forward to most each Christmas. A shame to see it ending.

Here’s the email I received:


I didn’t know this existed. But buying Elves?.. sharp intake of breath.

Phew :cold_sweat: - thought for a minute that someone would claim Buddy and put him to work in an alternate Xmas goods supplier.

Back to work, little peeps - nothing to see here.

Is it physical gifts ? I can probably just Google this to be honest

Edit , really hard to read knowledge base on mobile.

Yeah it used to be a global gift exchange back in the day. You’d get matched with someone across the globe and you’d get the chance to post them a nice gift.

Like a huge internet based secret santa :slight_smile:

Oh wow, not sure I’d give my address out, but maybe I’d put my work address.

It’s a nice idea I think.

Some of the gifts people got were amazing! Bill Gates got involved with it

Maybe he’s said they can shut down now because he’s got everyone with the vaccine. 4D chess from Billy.
