You're not especially difficult to forum-stalk, but you don't... You don't leave me many hints on things I can actually buy that'll mean anything to you.
But I have an idea. I picked up on ONE small thing you said that makes me think you'll like this idea.
I've always wanted one, but I could never justify spending the money on it. But since it's for YOU, a complete stranger, I think I can do this.
Man, I have to say, it feels real good to hit the target with gifts, especially with someone as hard to hunt as Judge-Z. @Judge-Z, if you have a kindle (or the Kindle App), Amazon has the first three books of the Temeraire series as an omnibus for eight bucks (it's called "In His Majesty's Service"), so something to consider.
Also, since it appears you don't have a Santa hat yet...
Also, a word of warning about Alhazred, it is a pretty gruesome book. Not one I'd suggest leaving around for a young bookworm to pick up. Not unless you like nightmare duty.

So Proxy pointed out to me that I had a package waiting at my folks house, and an email from GOG.com waiting in my inbox. So I unveil everything...
The game is definitely bringing back some old school Oregon Trail vibes from looking at its description. And I'm sure that there's something I can use in these books to help my job hunt. Thanks, @Elkatas!
I do not have a Kindle. Strange as it may sound, I cannot give up, of all things, the smell of dead tree books. I went ahead and ordered Starstrike, Temeraire #1 and the first Necronomicon book (I'm type A about one thing only - reading books in a series in order.) No worries about the bookworm picking up my books yet. She's trustworthy enough, squeamish enough, and has asked enough questions about my books to know they are Not For Her yet.
Although she seemed disturbingly intrigued by the concept of the graphic novel series, Chew.
Oh, and that puzzle?
MOTHERFUCKER!
I set it down after I managed to do something that appears to be both unhelpful, and against the laws of physics.
I'll get it, though.
Thanks again for everything!

Regarding the safe:
I did see a bunch of suggestions, so I apologize if this is a repeat (I couldn't keep em all memorized). But what about ALBW (A Link Between Worlds)? Also, OofT? I was gonna suggest the infamous Lost number sequence but it is too long, so maybe "Lost"?
Santee, don't be intimidated by my post about my package being too big for the box. I always make it fit. And don't think you've been forgotten, I'm trying to time this so it's close to the actual holiday.
There's apparently a package for me in my manager's office! Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to it until the weekend. The anticipation is killing me!

I received a key via Proxy (the Elf!) and when input into Steam, it comes out as this!
Truth be told, I already own this, but haven't played it due to the internet out here not being the fastest for downloading. Someone lucky on my Steam friends list will surely benefit from your generosity!
Another PM told a tale of delivery confirmation at my address. I am in the process of redeploying back home (after 7 months away), and I should be home by Friday. Maybe something is waiting for me there? I have someone checking my mail for me, so it will surely get picked up and be waiting at my house when I return. Stay tuned!

I should apologize to my Santa. If you have been trying to stalk me I haven't been as active as usual thanks to work blocking this site. If you need to proxy elf me I would completely understand or can provide the wife's email address.

That Black Book is great. I have been giving it to my coaching clients, and all of them have been able to land job within month from reading the book. Of course, you need to put little effort to understand the principles, but it has very simple, down to earth approach. "Unlimited Selling Power" is one of those books that I have seen lot of people use to even double and triple their sales. Very intuitive and simple techniques.

Why is the safe not open yet? I can't handle mysteries like this in my life.
We need a clueeeeeee.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Hey Santee! I love this book, and so does everyone who reads it. Another gorgeous hardcover!
Thanks, Santa! I have a bunch of time off coming up, and now I've got TONS of reading material!
Yay!
I'm an editor at the Brazilian publisher, and I'm personally responsible for the imprint that publishes Stroud's new series (which is god damned awesome) and Stephen King. So I just HAD to get you those two books, and no damn ebooks, but real, hardcover, glossy and sexy editions. I do love ebooks too, but they don't really scream "GIFT!" like a nice fat wang. I mean, book.

I need someone to tell me to stop buying shit on an hourly basis. Regardless of the time of year.
Hmm, I guess December is getting on.
Maybe I should, like, send some stuff to someone? I guess?
Mail me your wallet. Then I will put it in a sandwich.
Then I'll put it in a safe and drop it in the ocean and send your santee the coordinates in Sumerian after running it through an electronic version of the Enigma machine without the flaws.

So hey
I was gonna get you two gifts originally, but then money was a little tight, so I had to slim it down to one (even though the one was really awesome)
But then surprise money happened because when I budget I never account for the fact that sometimes I have to work overtime
So that means you now get two, and they will be shipping out soon
(1:10)
I used the first $10 of that $20 PSN card already
Borderlands 2 is free now on PlayStation Plus, and I adored it on 360 so I couldn't wait to play it again
So I threw down $10 for the Mechromancer because once you go Gaige you never go back

You need him in grinch mode for not Secret Santa season. Then put him in "heart grew three sizes that day" mode for Secret Santa.
Have you tried the psycho? Totally changes how you play the game
