Over 37,000 reddit Secret Santas in 110 countries are sending gifts to spread happiness and set a world record!

Have you checked out the redditgifts gift gallery lately? Many of the over 37,000 participants in 110 countries have already received their gifts and are capturing the joy using photos and videos to let the world know just how excited and thankful they are.
Can't keep up with the gallery? We pour over all the gifts every day and give awards to some of the best gifts there are (you can also keep up with the awards on the redditgifts facebook page). There have already been some highlights including a video (and other gifts) from Bear Grylls, an extra cool gift from Wil Wheaton, some cool gifts from Pee-Wee Herman, a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas, a new laptop and more happy stories than you could possibly shake a stick at!

As we mentioned a few months ago, we are also working with Guinness in order to set a world record. This process is moving along as expected and we're adding to what will be the final record number with every gift posted to the gallery (so please post your gift).
Secret Santa 2011 has of course received some nice press from the likes of The New York Times, USA Today and was featured on ABC Radio and RightThisMinute!

This has become a wonderful tradition in our great community here on reddit. Lets everyone give each other a hand on another successful secret santa!

Stay tuned for the biggest book exchange the world has seen early in 2012 where we will be supporting some great causes and having massive amounts of fun!
