In addition to the engagement ring Christmas present, Kat’s husband-to-be surprised her with a life-size stuffed moose and captured her reaction in a video.

“Do you know what it’s name is? It’s my name. Dead Moose,” he joked.

“Babe, I love you!” Kat said after walking into her home to find the enormous gift. Deadmau5 then shared the video on Twitter, writing, “Merry Xmas Kat!”

The twosome became dating in mid-September, and briefly broke up in November. Kat Von D was previously engaged to Sandra Bullock‘s ex-husband Jesse James. The two split in July 2011.
