All across North America, a post-modern Santa Claus is showering unsuspecting households with unexpected (and mostly unwanted) gifts – and no one really knows why .

A woman who would prefer to be known only as “Nikki” got a $25 vibrator , headphones, and a Bluetooth cord in multiple deliveries . Retirees Kelly and Mike Gallivan are the lucky recipients of over 25 mystery packages , none of which they ordered. Meanwhile, multiple Canadian students are receiving everything from wireless headphones to lights bulbs, and – yes – sex toys .

What’s going on? Some researchers are convinced that it’s a scam to increase products’ online ratings – but Amazon says it doubts that theory . Clearly someone has far too much time – and money – on their hands.
