Apparently my Secret Santa wasn't done as @Tofystedeth struck again!
A couple of days ago I was asked what kind of music I liked and if I liked video game music. I said yes and then was sent this:
I was... confused? A SNES cartridge with a USB cord attached to it? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
I plugged it in and was awarded with all of the music from Super Soul Bros! (I think it's all of it anyway)
I've listened to a few of the tracks and it's pretty damn great! Thanks!

Yeah, it's their whole discography. They're my favorite band currently.
Thank you again @Handkor !
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

A fun adventure started the other day when I received a PM from proxy the elf. Apparently my gift was delivered TO ME last Saturday. I was fast asleep when this supposed delivery was made. After some back and forth, my gifter was revealed as @Cristoval! I spoke to them a few times and then finally got in touch with Amazon CS. They were super helpful and gave me a gift card for the balance of the gifts that were lost. Today, I received a beautiful Scott Pilgrim Colour Collection boxset and AT-ST Raider LEGO set and I also received this final warning "But fear, for there shall be more giiiifting."

Real name was listed on the gift tags, so I am uncertain who to shout out for thanks, but I got a really wonderful package today!
A book I've been excited to read for a while, a game that seems like it'll be a blast for my wife and I, and some ridiculously-tasty spicy Virginia peanuts that I've already had a feverish handful of. A really, really delightful gift, thank you so much Satan!
It was I! Hmmmm I thought I threw my screen name in there, whoops! It kept resetting all the gift tags like 5 times.
I hope you enjoy! I'm glad I guessed right on liking spicy snacks!

Thank you, Santa! This will go great in my office to holder my smaller reference books!
It appears Santa has gone hybrid and sent me some digital gifts while physical ones are enroute!
Thank you @cooljammer00 !
I haven't been keeping up on recent switch releases, so this will be great for us! The hard part will be deciding what to get! I'm open to suggestions. I've got the basics (Odyssey, Kart, Party, Pokémon).
Sorry I was late to post, it's been a rough few weeks for us, and haven't been in the Christmas spirit at all. Our tree even fell over today. So this is also a sorry to my Santee as I haven't done any shopping yet at all. Soon!
The Picross S games are great puzzlers, Luigi's Mansion 3 is great, and if you don't already have them on Steam Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons are both wonderful library additions.
!!!
Last night, a whole bunch of boxes appeared because that's how we shop these days. But one of them was labeled not just to me, but to [First Name] Elvenshae [Last Name] - a sure sign that a Santa has been Secretly sneaking about!
Unfortunately, I didn't notice that until it was quite late and my assistants were in bed fast asleep, so the package needed to wait an additional day to be prised open.
My assistants prepare to reveal the treasures inside:
Inside, approximately 42 pounds of cannons, trade tokens, and Caribbean fortresses!
And who could my Secret Santa be? Why, 'tis none other than @Rorshach Kringle himself, with a most kind note!
I hope you enjoy this game. I haven't played it myself, but the fact that it is endlessly customizable should really make that quarantine life go by ... well, a little quicker!
From Rorshach Kringle
Age of Sail stuff is extremely my jam. I can't wait to take advantage of some days off coming up to dive into the rulebook, teach my wife to play, and then get roundly beaten!
Thank you, RK, for an wonderfully thoughtful gift. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Poochie gift came from @Zonugal !
My partner is usually against rope toys because they require more attention... Skye on the other hand couldn't wait for me to unpackage it...
She already frayed up one of the legs so I had to take it off her for now while I'm working, but she seems to really like it. Thanks Zonugal!

Of wretched light and cursed flame, I turn my gaze to thee,
And send forth fiends with packages, of numbers counting three.
The morrow, day of Pagan Christ, or some damn’d day betwixt,
Shall all arrive, by my dark word, at latest 26th
This is great news! I am the most stressed I have ever been right now trying to sort out a house move. Looks like im now moving next week (though will still have my previous apartment for a short while after to collect the gifts!) so this has really lightened my week up. How exciting!

Got some boxes today, which I pretty much have every day since March 14th! I didn't think anything of it until I opened them and found they were from my secret santa!
What could it be?
A secret Santa present!
Oh boy, my son is going to love this. It's Iron Man lego!
That's not all! A few days ago I got a shipment notification for a box from Target. I thought it was something my wife ordered. Well I was wrong!
What's inside here?
The Super Mario Bros Game and Watch!?
This thing is so cool! It's such a neat little Nintendo collectible that I thought I would miss out on this year. I'm beyond thrilled! I've already got it charged up. The screen is really nice. Maybe Nintendo will release more of these things (like a Zelda one!)
My son begged to put the Iron Man thing together so we did that!
Hey...Seems to be a similar color scheme going on here!
All in all, fantastic gifts! So who was my Santa? It was @jclast ! Thanks so much for the great gifts! Merry Christmas!

I've been expecting two packages today, my monthly coffee bean surprise box and some b o o z e, but instead the postman came to my door with a large mysterious parcel!
Inside there was no note that I could find! But I saw the company name on the box and was INSTANTLY EXCITED!
(The hen is new, the owl is old)
EEEEEE I've always wanted one of these Fairmont & Main egg holders (they make them in ducks and chickies and I love them all so much) but it's such a silly frivolous thing that I'd never be able to justify buying it for myself. Charlotte has been languishing on my wishlist for ages. Now she lives in my kitchen next to my weird owl cookie jar! As soon as I buy new eggs I will be putting her to good use!
I can't be 100% sure this is a Satansmas gift due to the lack of card (which is 100% okay!) because I know a couple of other people in my life are sending me gifts but if this was you, The Devil, thank you!!

I'm much better about keeping up with the SE thread, but I'll try to cross-check here for posts as well.

I feel this. I didn't care that there weren't any comfortable office chairs in the house because I don't PC game .... and now I WFH after extended unemployment and I suddenly care greatly.

During lockdown, I fell into a rabbit hole of "Chair Youtube", which is its own cottage industry just like "Makeup Youtube", with the same type of payola scandals and accusations of influencers being on the take.

Now...the waiting...
I received a box this evening with NO NOTE. It is something that I did not order. It could be from anyone but I am ASSUMING it's from my Santa!
An absolute brilliant score. Perfect background noise.

I was visited upon by a mysterious stranger carrying an even more mysterious package this afternoon. "I didn't order anything to deserve such visitations," I informed the stranger "Get off my porch!".
"Not my problem!" He said and heaved the rather weighty package at my face, knocking me down on my ass. He turned and headed back down my front steps. "Take it up with Bezos!" he shouted from his van, flipping a pretty respectable bird as he turned the engine over and peeled off. RUDE.
Anyway.
WHAT MYSTERY!
The package in question. Rather typical. Don't know why I took a picture but it seems like the thing to do.
DELICIOUS TREASURE! The Superior M&M(tm)! It was paired with a note from my Satan, but also included their real name which I will not share here just in case! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE SATAN, YET AT THE SAME TIME HAVE NO CLUE. Tricky tricky...
Thanks all the same, I WILL enjoy these!!
EDIT:
Aaaannnd all the M&M's are gone
You did this to me, Satan! You did this!
And I thank you.
hella dedication to the snacks!
