When Mindy Kaling got a call from her assistant that Oprah got her a baby gift, she had no idea what kind of surprise she was in for. The 38-year-old welcomed her daughter [1], Katherine Kaling, in December, and the little got "the most amazing gift," Mindy told USA TODAY.

"Two men are going to be coming to your house, they said, with a U-Haul truck," Mindy said her assistant told her on the phone. "All you want in your life is to hear that two men in a U-Haul truck are coming to your house [2] because Oprah sent them. I was supposed to go to work that day (but I was like), I gotta be here."

It was the perfect decision because "they arrived with a a hand-carved bookcase, prettier than any professional dollhouse you had ever seen that contained a hundred of the classic essential books in children's literature," Mindy continued. "And I held my baby up to it and I said, 'Did you see what Miss Winfrey did for you?' Each book has Katherine's Book Club' on it."

Oprah, who was also sitting beside Mindy and Reese Witherspoon [3] during the interview, interjected and said "It wasn't as perfect as I wanted it to be." That's because the 64-year-old wanted it to look like the treehouse Mindy's A Wrinkle in Time character, Mrs. Who, lives in. "Now it only looks like a beautiful castle," Mindy quickly responded. "It was the best I could do," Oprah replied.
