IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS POSSIBILITY, DO NOT SIGN UP. Note: Canada is NOT considered "international."

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! Some people are going to be sending home-made treats and food as gifts, and it would suck if anyone breaks into hives upon opening their package. Look out for each other, my dudes.
For gifters, if your receiver has not gotten their gift by the gifting deadline (February 28th), you will be banned, no exceptions.
For receivers, once you receive your gift, you are to post that it has been received. Please do this within 2 days of receipt.
We've been doing a combined list between G&T and SE++, because it's nice and honestly I need the help. Going to continue the tradition, because it's festive and because I'm a bit lazy.

Sorry if I've sent you an @ and you don't wanna participate. This is also pulled from 2021, so hopefully no one is missed.
Note that if you choose to get a Switch game, we're all digital in this house.
If you're looking to get me anything else, please feel free to ask via an Elf. My kids, especially my daughter, are really into gaming now. If you want to get them anything in place of me, please feel free to do so. I have all that I want already.

I play lotsa video games, but I don't really need any console hardware specifically. I have a PS5, Switch, and a Steam Deck. What I'd really love is a VR kit of some kind compatible with Steam, so I can play Paradiddle and get back into drumming. I understand that's an expensive request, but sometimes people go crazy with these. The Meta Quest 3 in particular looks really fun with the AR cameras. I've also been wanting to get into fighting games (particularly SF6) and I don't have a joystick. So maybe a cheaper one for PS5/PC would be awesome.
I also prefer digital games over physical ones because I get tired of moving discs around and I almost never sell or trade my physical copies of games (I still have all my Genesis and GBA carts+boxes). That being said, I GET GIFTED IN STEAM THREAD A LOT PLEASE DO NOT JUST GIFT ME STEAM GAMES. Go looking for something cool and mail me some physical stuff to open, it's more fun!
I recently got into Lorcana (The Disney Magic Card Game) but the boosters are impossible to find, or being price gouged due to supply. If you can find physical booster packs of either set 1 or 2, I would love some of those.
Some of my favorite games include: Dota, Any From-Soft game but Bloodborne is my favorite, Castlevania, Zelda, Shovel Knight, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil 1/2/4. I like art for this stuff too, my partner got me a vertical Dark Souls map that is mounted behind my computer, and I have things like Majora's Mask painted over top a book page framed. Any art or Etsy figurines are appreciated! Support local artists!
I also like a lot of movies. Some favorites are: The Crow, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Batman (anything not DCU), Jordan Peele's stuff, pretty much all of the Studio Ghibli movies. I enjoy reading fantasy and graphic novels. I'm reading the last available Dresden book, and someone gave me Gideon and Harrow last year! I'd like to read "Riddler: Year One." which is a short series of The Riddler by Paul Dano.
Music wise my current favorites include August Burns Red, Sleep Token, Gorillaz, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Dying Wish, Spiritbox, Make Them Suffer, and Polaris. Any merch from those would be cool, I'm a size Large for shirts and hoodies, and I do wear a lot of the snapback dad hats.
Other than that, it would be great if you got something for my partner Kat or my dog Skye. Some of Kat's favorite things include crocheting, pickles, plushies, foxes, The Simpsons, and Pokemon. Also really big into Over The Garden Wall and Our Flag Means Death. They also like Pop Punk, Descendents, Banner Pilot, PUP, Menzingers, Bouncing Souls. They are a Large shirt, Large for hoodies. Skye is a five year old pitbull who loves chew toys, specifically benebones, and anything that honks or squeaks.
Kat and I both love coffee, so local coffee bags that you would like to share could be a great addition as well
The only no-nos for us would be anything with pineapple (allergy), and no NSFW things please.

Wishlist/Info Post:
Stalk away but I do like exotic, strange or rare foods. Forget about Steam I'm in the 2500+ game club and I go a bit nuts during holiday sales.
Systems owned: Switch and a PC with a Rift S
After a year with my Switch I've picked up many games, but I do not have any of the Kirby games, Pokemon games, Pikmin games, Smash Bros or Super Mario RPG. I use my Switch exclusively for 1st party games as all other games I get for Steam.
Favorite comicbook characters: Harley Quinn, Gwenpool, Squirrel Girl
My twitter is @SuccubiinHats. Who and what I follow could be helpful.
My own wife has trouble getting me gift so good luck, I also have two autistic sons aged 8 and 11.
Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2QV16MMMSEDTU?ref_=wl_share
If you are really out of idea, maybe I'd enjoy something you enjoy or introduce me to something you are passionate about.
Weird, I didn't get one either. I'm guessing with 3 people reporting the issues, it's happening to everyone.
Wouldn't be surprising if they had something to suppress @ signals buried in quotes.
For the people who've already seen the thread and posted, I apologize for the fresh @ signal. For everyone else, it's Santa time.

Also have a Steam profile, where I do most of my PC gaming. Have a couple games on uPlay, EGS, and Origin, but the vast majority of my PC games are on Steam:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/stabbitystyle/
Uh, as far as gaming stuff I'm really into, probably Ace Combat and Final Fantasy are the big 2 franchises I've gotten real into. Played a stupid amount of Ace Combat 7 (both because it's fun and because I went for the platinum trophy) and have played all the other mainline games as well (haven't done the PSP ones or that online only Infinity that got shut down. Also do Final Fantasy 14 on and off, which is probably one of my favorite games ever. Replayed most of the Final Fantasy series this year as well. Only skipped 8, 9, the 13s, 15, and I guess Stranger of Paradise if that counts. Or the Tactics games and that FF12 DS spinoff.
Personal information, size 3XL for shirts, don't drink alcohol, kind of a picky eater (not really big on seafood or mushrooms or some other misc stuff). Hobbies-wise, mostly just stay at home and play games, watch anime/movies/tv, browse the internet. A very shut-in lifestyle, I suppose.
Also usually hang out in the PA G&T Adventure Team Steam chat if that's helpful, people in there might also be able to give you some tips if you're stumped or want more information.

I have an Xbox Series X with Gamepass, a Switch and just got a PS5.
I tend to play a lot of the big releases and enjoy most genres but action is probably my favorite.
I'm into comics, with Spider-Man and Superman being my two favorite ones.
I enjoy fashion. I'm a small and 30 waist.
Pro Wrestling is still real to me dammit!
Big into running, climbing and outdoor activities.
Really like craft beer and the only dietary thing is that I don't like cheese.
Finally I love any random items that may be unique to your region or you just think I'll enjoy!
Anyway, I'm thinking about it. Where does the time go?

It's weird. Every day seems interminably long anymore, but then I turn around and it's suddenly half way through November.
Also, heck yes, doing this again, woohoo, etc.
And now ... the Wishlisting!
Upfront, I will love whatever random, local, or import-to-you stuff you want to send me, especially if it isn't something easily available in Northern VA.
My hobbies are Scouts (BSA and Cub, with my oldest and youngest), some light woodworking, stained glass, and boardgaming. I've got a ridiculous collection of unpainted Battletech minis that I am very slowly working my way through, and some 3d-printed terrain that I'm knocking out (Fat Dragon Games does good work).
My online "dealer" for stained glass is still Delphi Glass.
My Steam ID link is in my .sig, if you need some ideas of the types of computer games I play. I've got a PS5 and a Switch. I've spent way too long playing fantasy mods for EU4 this year.
I'm looking to get actually certified as a sailing instructor next year.
My boardgame collection verges on the ridiculous: https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Elvenshae We have some new friends that we're starting to invite over to play games with, so that's good!
My two sons are 12 (middle school!) and 8. My oldest is now a (Scouts BSA) Scout, and my youngest is still a Cub Scout. I'm helping out with both the Troop (older Scouts) and the Pack (elementary-aged Scouts), which takes up a decent chunk of time but it means I get to go camping a lot! This coming summer we're heading to Seabase in Florida with my older son's troop, where we'll be doing a sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, underwater robotics, amazing fun time adventure. I need a new mask, snorkel, and fins at some point before I go.
My kids usually help me open the presents I get, so if there's something NSFW being sent, please let me know to not let them open that particular package.
I hope I've give you a little more to go on. If you need some more ideas, feel free to ask away! If you need it, I can provide my wife's email address for stalking assistance via Proxy or similar request.

I don't play as many video games as I used to. Time, energy and motivation to play them just isn't what it used to be.
But, I do have an Original XBox, a 360 and a PS2, as well as a 3DS and a DS. I have a computer that's not cutting edge, but it's good enough for BG3.
Most of my PC gaming is done on keyboard and mouse, but I have been recommended (and steam backlogged) some JRPG style games that definitely seem like they'd be easier with a controller rather than trying to remember which letter maps to X. But I know little about PC controllers, if that's an area you're experienced in...?
Game wise, I tend to go for RPGs, strategy games, stuff that doesn't require frame perfect twitch reflexes or mock me by telling me in big red letters that I've failed at the basic premise of the game when I fail at the basic premise of the game.
I'm on steam, also see317, with a substantial backlog that I'm happy to add to.
Pet wise, I've got a leopard gecko and a milk snake, neither one gets particularly amped over Christmas, but if you were thinking pet related things...
Amazon wish list where I try to put things that I'll most likely not buy for myself.
Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/27W72X67MCBGU?ref_=wl_share
I do like to read, mostly sci-fi, horror and fantasy, but if you've got a favorite you want to share, I'm all for it.
I play Hearthstone a lot of the time as well as Marvel Snap. I have a lot of Tabletop Games as well but always interested in find more of them.
I do enjoy sci-fi/fantasy books so if you want to go that route I'm always interested in find new series.
And I am a huge NF fan. He’s a rapper if you want to look him up.
I do have a dog so any treats for her would be good. Any local food stuffs would be great as well.
If you need some more ideas, my youngest boy (13), still wears his Legend of Zelda hat he got, but he is really into Roblox currently. My daughter (15) loves Stray Kids.

There is plenty of good stuff on there, though I'm also sure plenty of games I've wishlisted a long time ago have since come out and been total stinkers... Feel free to avoid those.
I have several Amazon wishlists, but no real order of importance within the individual wishlists. Also the further back you scroll it becomes clear that some of these lists are getting really old.
This one is for all my games, tech and other general wishes: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/D0VW2PYQAWHL

If clothing is a thing, I wear a medium shirt.
I don't mind NSFW gifts.
I own all the modern consoles and handhelds (Also still have my Dreamcast hooked up), a gaming PC, and have a few VR headsets.
My various game account usernames are in my forum signature.
My birthday is December 4th.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I don't know what to tell ya. My amazon wishlist is garbage.
Steam wishlist is probably also garbage? My PC is like 8 years old. I plan on upgrading eventually.
(I will try and fix both lists though).
I have a ps5 and switch, though I'm not sure when the last time I saw the switch. I think my daughter stole it forever.
Oh I also have a new xbox, but not sure what games to get for that (I don't think I have any).
I like making things! But I don't get to do it as much as I'd like. I'm not really sure how that'd work. I don't have a lacking of materials, or tooling, or clamps. So I don't know that I need anything in this category.
IF you could learn blender for me that'd be cool.
I also got into gardening and trying to improve soil health. I don't have a lot of space to do it in (I'm in a town home), but that's been an interest.
I mostly listen to audiobooks now, and my wife works at the library. So books are cool, I have basically a free supply of stuff.
We have two guinea pigs.

I had to because my short term memory is so bad I had to ask a forum member to remind me! But I think I got em all out and in various waves.

Thus informed, I tore it open to reveal it's contents.
Hell yeah. Hackers and Sneakers on blu ray. I think one of my favorite loose sub-genres is "movies that have kind of fantastical computer tech" like these or lawnmower man, hardware, and the net to a degree. Movies from when computers were still becoming common and sure, why couldn't VR increase a man's intelligence to a degree where they become a god existing purely in the internet.
The manga are a collection of short stories by Tatsuki Fujimoto between his series Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man. I think after reading Chainsaw Man I'm a ride or die for whatever they create so I'm excited to check these out.
Thank you mysterious Santa!

Just received my first package from @KoopahTroopah ! They sent me Jedi Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor, an NVMe drive as an expansion for my PS5, and a charging dock for my PS5 controllers! Thanks!!! Probably gonna get right into Fallen Order/Survivor once I'm done with BG3/Dead Space/Yakuza 3, so I should probably be able to start it a bit before I go on my end of year vacation. Seems like the perfect kind of games to get into while on break, gives me time to really sink my teeth into them. Charging dock should probably help alleviate my biggest PS5 complaint, which is the integrated batteries in the controllers. Just have replaceable batteries, dammit. I have a 2nd PS5 controller, tho, so once I run out of batteries while playing, I can just swap controllers instead of playing wired.
Spoilered image for size:
CW: Suggestive fanart Gotta wrangle up some frames for em! Working on getting some display cases setup for my figures and then I can see about mounting them nearby. Thanks again! They're dope as hell Great version of Bowsette, too.
