RULES:
1. There is no minimum spending amount and no maximum spending amount.
2. International people are allowed. If you have some super big problem with it, let me know in your sign up email, but I cannot 100% guarantee you will not get someone in Australia, New Zealand, or lesser Uranus. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS POSSIBILITY, DO NOT SIGN UP. Note: Canada is NOT considered "international."
3. If nobody knows who you are, you probably will not be allowed to sign up. This is to cut down on the number of deadbeat Satans. If you have less than 500 posts and nobody else knows you, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED (Exceptions are known significant others of folks, PA staff, etc)

Hey a heads up - if you have allergies, incompatibilities, or other restrictions on gifts you can receive, please put those guidelines in your wishlist posts!

My ever changing wishlist that I need to update
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1JI9WWSRW1YJI
EDIT: No longer a placeholder!
Amazon Wishlist: http://a.co/c3tC0Lb
Wishlist Post:
But I'm rooting for you, Satan! Keep up the good work!
It's likely Secret Saints will be going this year too! Sign up and GET GIFTED!
Edit: now with more wishlist and gift hinting goodness!
Hopefully you are excited that you have been randomly assigned to me,
I am a man in my mid 30’s and my wife and I have 2 boys (11 and 10). I include my kids, because we share many of the same hobbies. I like video games, and own a Switch and X-Box one. Ive missed most everything from Sony since the PlayStation 2, so that’s why you will see some of those items on my wish list, if you are crazy enough to splurge on such a way. That level of spending is completely unnecessary though. I also spend much of my time gaming on my PC, where I primarially play Overwatch and WoW with the SE guild.
I also love movies and comic books, although I don’t find myself with much time to read comics lately.
A few months ago I began running a D&D campaign for my sons and their friends. This has been really fun, I have most of the 5th edition books, but right now D&D is pretty popular around outr house. I also listen to all the PA D&D podcasts, which I enjoy quite a bit.
Hopefully this helps, if you would like any additional information don’t hesistate to ask. Also, if you have an idea that you think is cool but don’t see anything similar to that in my wishlist, go right ahead. I absolutely won’t mind getting something that you think is cool but that I might not have thought of.
Here are things I'm into:
Edit: wishlist post ensues.
ancient 3DS with a broken left shoulder button, and a little Surface tablet I can do light indie games on (though I'd prefer not to get Steam games given that I do most of my gaming on the other systems). I love comics and am open to new recommendations. Board games are great but don't get as much play lately. Gunpla or Star Wars kits are fun and I only have a few so far (Poe's X-Wing, a Tie Interceptor, and Duo's Gundam from Wing). I also have a vinyl record player and would appreciate more good stuff to play on it!
The big thing for me this year is moving out again (for the third time) mid-November. In the mad rush to leave America I had to throw off some furniture, and I'm trying to replace it. I'll probably add a bunch of prospective stuff from Wayfair and Amazon to my wishlist, which I'll update shortly.
I'm also open to some smaller decor (though less wall art since I have plenty of that to go on with). The Tech thread got me looking at Phillips Hue products which sound neat; IoT stuff is okay so long as it isn't super broken on a security standpoint; nerdy kitchen gadgets or cookbooks could be fun; basically, anything that could have a solid practical use around my new apartment would be phenomenal.
And if all else fails, I'm always down for jewelry, makeup and clothing. If you're going that route, I can give my sizing to an imp. Dresses that hit a solid rockabilly/business goth/40s-50s housewife vibe are always welcome, especially if I can either wear it with a petticoat or make it winter WorkSafe. I tend to aim for subtle nerd stuff for jewelry, though I wouldn't mind a brooch here or there for winter accessories. And virtually any holiday pack Sephora has going would be rad.
Hopefully that's enough to work with! Thanks in advance!!
(This is my Amazon wishlist: http://www.amazon.ca/registry/wishlist/2H8D4238WMYVZ )
Edit edit: if you need to consult anyone directly for ideas on comics, games, wrestling garbage, etc., check in with @crwth, @Grey Ghost or @Blankzilla and they'll likely point you in the right direction having endured paragraph upon paragraph of me talking about my dumb hobbies; @Sassori can probably direct you on board games, makeup, clothes and other Girl Stuff

Hi Satan:
I like video games! I own a PS4, Nintendo Switch, and a gaming-capable Laptop PC. I prefer digital to physical media just because I have issues with space in my room. I also have a Kindle Fire and I have ebooks on that list, but in general I enjoy Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels.
I like sports! Yankees, Giants, Knicks, USMNT (Soccer) in that order. I own a Kristaps Porzingis shirsey and a Gary Sanchez jersey. Clothes are always good. I wear a size 3X in tops, 48 waist 30 length in pants/jeans, and 12.5 in sneakers if that's your thing.
I love old school JRPGs and most RPGs in general. FF series, Dragon Age, Fable, KOTOR, Undertale, Delta Rune. I've never played any persona or fire emblem games.
I have no known food allergies. If you do go the food route, I'm not much of a candy guy except for chocolate. Milk chocolate or chocolate truffles or peanut butter cups or cookies.
More later
Also, I just got my 10 year anniversary badge.
Steam
But seriously though here's a wishlist post:
You should have gotten two mailing addresses. The Canadian one is where I live, the US one is a mail service right across the border that makes it easier/cheaper to ship direct from Amazon etc. If you ship to the US address, please be aware that I have to pay for every package I pick up there, so it will save me money if you can consolidate everything you send into one package. Right, onto the list!
My amazon wishlist is here. I take care to keep it curated so anything on there is something I'd be very happy to receive.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Don’t be afraid, with a wish list posting of some sort it really gives a bare minimum for you to work with. If all else fails, you can get them something they have on their amazon wishlist.
Best case scenario is you get matched with someone you are familiar with and/or you stalk the shit out of their post history (or have one of Satan’s Helpers investigate for you) and get your person something they will enjoy.
I’ve done this a fair number of times and I’ve always been pleased with what I’ve gotten and I hope people who received gifts from me have been happy with them. I haven’t been barred from participating yet, so I’ll take that as a good enough sign.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
One of my favorite things all year!
Wishlist is in the sig!
edit: but in broader strokes, I really like cooking and woodwork
I have a good set of knives and am mostly set in the kitchen gear department. I could really use good wood working tools though! I have all the power tools money can buy, but I'm seriously lacking in things like hand files, good chisels, router bits, and the like
I also really really love Ike Reilly but only own 2 of his albums (Born on Fire and Hard Luck Stories). Also, on discogs, anything by Cracker is amazing, they have a bunch of promo material for dirt cheap. One of those things that's always on my radar but always gets pushed back.
I also just got a sausage stuffer!
Further information in this post to be updated at a later time, but there's a wishlist link in my sig.
Edit: Here we go.
First, an apology/warning that in years past I was updating the Amazon wishlist up to the point where I was actually receiving gifts, so if there's nothing good there, check back?
I love stuff from local hometowns, or stuff that is important to the sender. If there's a food/candy from where you live, that would be cool. If there's a movie or book or album that was/is important to you, send me a copy. One of my favorite things about Satans is getting to know another forumer, and making a new connection.
As far as electronics go, I have an Xbox One, Switch, gaming-grade PC, and PS4... though I don't have nearly enough time to play them to the extent I'd like to. My name on Xbox/PSN/Steam is also Perrsun, links to the profiles are in the signature if you want to see what kinds of games I've been playing, though you may need your own profile to view mine... the TrueAchievements link is definitely no-account-needed, and goes to Xbox, and has links for my other accounts from there. Despite a lack of time, I am very excited for Smash Bros Ultimate, and Kingdom Hearts 3 when that comes out. Steam account has a wishlist.
Last.FM link to see what music I've been listening to, though my wife is probably throwing off my data with her k-drama/HK-drama songs :pop:
Last year we also brought a baby into the world, so that was mildly life-changing. He's great, though. Just adjusting to being a parent.
From a personal standpoint, I work at the Best Buy HQ in MN where I... kind of enjoy my work? I don't know, it's training and technical writing, and I'm good with it, though I know I'm gonna need to push myself to advance pretty soon. I wear shirts that are sometimes L and sometimes XL, depending on the fit, and I have no idea what my head size is. I am a fan of scarves as my cold-weather accessory of choice, or any novelty socks you see fit to send.
If you’re an artistic-type, and feel like making me a new avatar to use here and on twitter and wherever, that would be sweet, and less money-costly.
Thank you, dark one, for the thoughts and efforts of the season. Thank you for existing up to this point, and thank you for as long as you will exist.
Well now I have to replan my entire gift!
I got my "Ancient" membership this year. I appreciate that they decided after 10 they were done counting.
Hi Satan, here's some stuff you may want to know:
I have a link to my Amazon thingy: http://a.co/1XvAKvO
I like pretty much everything. I mostly game on my PC (which is pretty good but does need new RAM that isn't budget RAM).
I have an Xbox One but its broken and I have been eyeing a Switch and or a PS4 (I really want to replay Kingdom Hearts), I also have a 3DS.
I like things from the heart so if you have a crafty talent, feel free to let your spirit for the season show!
I also collect enamel pins.
I enjoy reading as well.
I am allergic to bees. Please no bees.
I wear a big old shirt, sized 3XL Tall, or 4XL depending on brand.
I have really wide feet.
Well this and Secret Shamblers
IMP AHAVA IN THE HOUSE!
I'm here to help with all your secret message needs!
Democrats Abroad! || Vote From Abroad
I live in Japan, but I have a US address that delivers to my work here. You can choose whichever is easier for you, though I did not create an Amazon Japan wishlist, just the US one.
Anyway!
I like video games. I have a XBOX One, PS4, Switch, and PC, and I use all of them. I don't have a ton of games for the consoles, but if you're not sure if I have it already I'd have an elf get in touch.
You can view my Steam wishlist here if you want to gift digitally: https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/fullfathomdeep/
I'd prefer NOT to receive fresh-made foods since they probably won't survive the trip and/or customs, though pre-packaged things like candy are okay. I'd also prefer not to receive clothes, though accessories like scarves, beanies, etc. are okay, in which case I'm a neutral colors kind of person.
If you're a crafty or artsy person, handmade stuff would be great! I have very little to decorate my apartment with so any kind of stuff in that vein would be nice.
Books are always appreciated. I tend towards fiction, but things like art books, comics, cookbooks, music books (guitar and piano), decorative books on topics you find interesting, all that kind of stuff would be cool. Also photography is something I'm not great at but looking at improving, so photography books would be great too.
Thanks again!
Two years for me to reach that point.
Old man.
Just so there's something: http://a.co/64ibmuW
Imma have to keep working on actual wishlists but here's an about me:
In general my favorite gifts to receive tend to be the ones involving the gifter's local culture or sharing something you personally like.
I'll put all the practical items I'm looking at my wishlists but here's some random thoughts:
I like board games but my small group fell apart and I haven't built or joined a new one, so if you go that route games that appeal to people who don't normally play board games would be tops.
I have a good PC (steamId is kadithdurim), PS4 Pro + VR, XboneX, and a Switch. I have been so busy that I have not bought any games for the past few months.
T- shirts I generally wear a large, sizing up if the fit is smaller.
I have no food allergies.
Most importantly I have two dogs: https://i.imgur.com/PxnDpXx.jpg
Satans is always such a great time
Steam // Secret Satan
I started doing this last year and felt the same way, but I ended up having a great time sleuthing out my target and assembling their gifts, which they seemed to like so hey success. Really the whole wishlist thing is a pretty good safeguard against crappy gifts.
I'll sign up proper in a bit, here for a second year!
Ideally I would say do so in your email, but if you already sent that please at LEAST mention it in your wishlist post.
Please send me girly stuff
Preemptive sorry to anyone who gets me.

Regional cooking paraphernalia. I'm a chef and love to experiment with ingredients grown outside the PNW. Also cook books. I have no food related allergies, so home made treats are totally acceptable.
DOCTOR WHO!! I've been a fan of the show for years and absolutely love the new doctor.
Star Wars. Particularly Rogue One.
Books. I've been on a fantasy kick lately, but am always looking for good books in any flavor. If you think I should read it, I'd love to have a go.
I have finally joined the future and have a Steam account, the wish list is linked below. In terms of physical games, I have a PS2 and am willing to give a home to any older games. I enjoy playing RPGs, puzzle games, and fighting games.
I adore geeky jewelry and clothes. But I have an excessive amount of nerd tshirts. If you feel that you have found one that I simply *must* have, I wear a unisex L or women's 3x. Earrings, necklaces, and rings are weaknesses of mine. Also socks.
My board game collection is continuing to grow, and it pleases me to add new things to it. I will ask, no Cards Against Humanity please.
I'm also an avid tea drinker, but there might be a ban on receiving tea, mugs, and brewing equipment as gifts in my apartment. I won't tell if you don't, though!
Here are links to my various wish lists:

Amazon
