All right, the budget is in good enough shape this year. Assembling a wish list now.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

Thank you for answering my summons, O Dark One.
Let me start things off easy, with my Amazon Wishlist. That wishlist is almost entirely full of books (physical only), along with a smattering of DVDs (specifically - I do not own a Blu-Ray player) and board games, because I have never gotten used to the idea of treating Amazon as more than a bookstore. If you want to understand it further, I have a rudimentary priority sorting which I recommend switching to, as it will tell you things I want the most off of it.
But feel not beholden to that list! Here's the thing - that list can only cover the things that I know that I want. And what I really want is whatever weird shit you want to send me. If that list gives you ideas of things you think I might like, go for it. I'm especially up for artsy things, if you are an artist, and I'm up for whatever filth you may desire in the NSFW department, because why the hell not.
I like both tabletop RPGs and board games quite a bit, and you'll find some of those represented on that Amazon wishlist. With RPGs, I tend to prefer small indie things, rather than the big names, as I end up reading more than actually playing these days. With board games, I'm fond of things that play well with two players but can accommodate more. If you want to know what sorts of things I already have, there's this sporadically updated list to cover board games, but I don't have anything of the sort set up for RPGs. If you want to know more, I can make a list for you, of course.
I can't eat seafood, in case you were planning on sending me a trout, and I'm not super into nuts or coconut. Or like, banana I guess? I'm constructing a pretty weird narrative here in order to get a box full of bananas and trout. But other food is probably a safe bet. I drink coffee (primarily) and tea (sometimes) and alcohol (constantly), and would definitely appreciate any of those being sent, especially if you have some local flavor or whatever you want to share with me.
Clothing is a fraught game, and in general I'd recommend you steer clear. I'm real weird shaped, being a skeleton man composed entirely of limbs, so these measurements are mostly estimates, but regardless, I tend to go with a men's small for t-shirts/sweaters, a 15/32 for dress shirts, 36R for jackets, 29/34 for pants, and a 7 1/4 for hats. My overall fashion sense is white button-up shirts, gray unadorned v-necks, and black jeans. Maybe supplemented with a few jewel tones (particularly greens, reds, and purples). Often paired with a leather jacket in one of those colors, as well. I do also have a denim jacket that I am currently beating the shit out of, and if you wanted to send me a patch to add to that jacket I would iron that fucker right on (or sew it on, more likely, I don't want it to fall off). Or, in the other direction, sometimes I like to dress extremely fancy, and maybe there's a neat tie or something?
Sometimes I listen to music? I have a record player, for when I want to not listen to said music on my phone, and if there's music you want to share with me, please feel free. I have overall fairly wide-ranging tastes - the only genre I am unequivocally not interested in is metal.
As we are members of a forum that is largely devoted to the enjoyment of video games, I feel obligated to mention those. I don't have any sort of video game consoles, and my computer is a fairly lightweight laptop, so my video game diet is often fairly limited. I have a wishlist on Steam - username is Quetzi - if you want to check it on out.
That is, I believe, the majority of what I have to say. Maybe I'll add more, but probably not. I've done this in previous years, if you think those wishlists can be more helpful, but I'm pretty sure they won't be, because I copied and pasted a lot of this (including, once again, this caveat)!
My Amazon list ended up being all game related so far, so I'll try to think of other options. My family loves the switch, so more content for those games is great, while e-shop cards of any size could go toward games we've had our eyes on like Smash, Slay the Spire, and the Untitled Goose Game.
Normally I'd say we're down for snacks or baked goods, but my wife is on a low carb diet at the moment. I'd really prefer to share any exciting food with her, so if you know something awesome that's also low carb, go for it! No allergies.
If you want to make/craft something then that's cool too! We're slowly starting an art collection for our computer/game room... so any sort of poster/canvas art based on Horizon:Zero Dawn or Breath of the Wild scenery could be cool for games we both enjoyed.
That Sushi Go Party! Game that someone got looks like it’d be fun to play with my family and nephew. Or if you’re the type to send alcohol, we like white wines and are getting into whiskeys.
Happy holidays and thanks in advance!
Edit: In case you check back here, I got messages from an imp implying there might be a problem with my list or something, so I updated the spoiler a bit.
Satan has always been generous to me in years past, so I'm In like Sin.
Hello, Satan, we meet again. I hope this past year of madness and frivolity has been amusing to you. I myself have gone through a multitude of triumphs and turmoil, but I shall spare you the sob and celebratory stories and get right into the listing of desired material goods.
Things I like:
-Heavy Metal
-Jazz
-Whisk(e)y
-Vinyl Recods
-Music equipment in general (headphones, speakers, etc)
-Vidya
-Beer
-Food
-Leather Goods
-Pagan Idolatry
-Books about interesting subjects/Anything I've heard about on NPR's Fresh Air
Honestly, you could pick a random three items from my assorted wishlists (see sig below; they are added to all the time), and I'd be as giddy as a school girl in springtime. I'm also saving up for my first tattoo, so if you threw money at that as your sataning, that's fine too!
Cheers Satan.

Hey speaking of other people's wishlists...
Raijin, did you see they're re-releasing all of The Maxx where Sam Kieth went through and recolored basically every single panel?
I'm curious to see the result -- on one hand, I'm sure it's totally gorgeous, the panels he painted in the original comics were mindblowing.
On the other hand, I've met the dude who did the original coloring (Bey Raitt, a ridiculously rad 3d modeler who ended up working on the original Gollum cg models for the LOTR trilogy and invented a lot of facial topology methods that are used today, and currently works for Valve).
Okay, signing up. Here's the post then sending the email for it to be official.
Hail Satan! I'm a 28 year old guy who puts no stock in actually being one and I work as a paper pusher inside a prison. I know, it's so glamorous. I live in a studio apartment so I'm not really one to collect "stuff" much, so apologies if my wishlists seem a bit bare! Just use them as a guideline.
My primary interests are reading urban fantasy or other fantasy novels (not so much into epic though, has to be an author I really enjoy), playing video games (mainly RPG's and JRPG's), and writing.
In regards to books I have been slacking on keeping up with newer stuff so I don't really own that many current books. Meaning if you think I'd be interested in a book that ticks the fantasy box then I'll happily give it a read. Make me a fan of what you enjoy!
For video games I mainly use my PC (Steam) and PS4, but I do own a N3DS XL with a sizable library. Also been looking into getting a Switch maybe on Black Friday. If I do I'll post in the thread and update this post. I also play a lot of Fate Grand Order on my phone when I don't feel like doing anything else.
My steam name is Madican and my wishlist there should give a good idea what type of games I enjoy, but really the main things I look for in my games are a solid story and well-written characters. Gameplay is secondary to that, but it is important. I tend to favor the action-RPG sort of gameplay especially. Some of my favorite games have been things like the new God of War and Tales of Berseria (honestly my GOTY from last year). Don't take the numbers in the wishlists as a ranking of any sort, I'm known to just move things around as my mood strikes.
Foodwise I'm trying to stick to the ketogenic diet but I will make exceptions for tasty treats on scheduled cheat days. Not allergic to anything that I know of, but I don't drink alcohol at all.

I had not seen that. That's pretty awesome. I'm definitely going to end up picking those up she. They get released.

Dear Dark Lord of Yuletide,
Hi! I’m sorry this is so late. I was on a very long vacation during which I used my computer and internetted only when absolutely necessary. I will continue to edit this as I come up with more stuff to inform you of.
I live in Singapore, so sorry about that when it comes to shipping! Amazon will deliver here for many products, for what it’s worth, and there are oodles of online shops and options (shoptions?) locally that you could probably work with if you can’t handle the cost of shipping. It’s a really international place and the official language is English so 1 – all websites will be in English and 2 – everywhere will take international payment options, in my experience.
I do a fair amount of cycling; I own two bicycles, and commute to work by bike most days and just did my first big cycling tour in June. I have the basics and a good bit more but biking tools or peripherals are always useful. I’m trying to be able to do more and more of the maintenance at home on them. I do yoga regularly as well.
I travel a lot for work (and almost as much for fun); travel comfort items could be an idea for you.
I have a Switch but only have a few games for it – Zelda, MarioKart, Splatoon 2, Jackbox and Snipperclips. I also have a PS4 which is terribly underused for games – I bought and still haven’t touched the newest Wolfenstein, to give you some context.
I’ve got a good and dumb dog who is scared of rainstorms, and who is my best buddy in the world.
My biggest current wishful project is making my bedroom and guest bedroom more homey – they are both really sparsely furnished and I still have my wall art just sitting around, and it’s sad as hell.
I listen to music but my tastes are maniacally varied. I love punk and post-punk, new wave, house, Roud index folk songs (murder ballads particularly), throat singing, French and Italian film music from the 60's and 70's, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, The Talking Heads...
Things I love:
Antique or mid-century cookbooks or recipe collections.
Books. I read more than I do anything else in my spare time.
Cooking, although my free time to do this is limited to the weekends, when I try to batch-prep something for my work week.
Decorations, books, art, etc pertaining to the morbid or spooky.
Weird old stuff in general
Kung-fu films and westerns and silent films and weird horror movies
Pottery
Music of many sorts
Jigsaw puzzles, borp games (cooperative and social rather than deck-building or long-form competitive, DO NOT BUY ME RISK), crossword puzzles
Lost Salient on
"Sandra has a good solid anti-murderer vibe. My skin felt very secure and sufficiently attached to my body when I met her. Also my organs." HAIL SATAN
For house things: I have a small mid-century house where I have leaned hard into the mid-century look inside. I don't have much on the walls, though, and not much tabletop decor. I love plants. Love, love indoor plants. And those funky mid-century plant stands.
For me things: I play piano and guitar. I could use some restocking of piano music.
I'm a big reader and a high school English teacher. I'm rebuilding a libary, so the big classics or new books that you personally love will work. Interesting local authors are always fun for me. I'm a cross-genre reader, for the most part. Definitely been delving into more sci-fi lately. Also James Baldwin (wow!).
I love music. Again pretty cross genre. I'm mostly digital on the music, but I do have my eye on a couple of retro record players, and that would be fun.
Ummmm. I have a ps2, ps4, an xbox one, and a wiiU. I'll throw some games on my Amazon list of things I don't have. I do play on Steam, but I have a Macbook with no Windows partition right now, so that does limit me.
I love nerd shirts. Especially book nerd shirts. I love getting crafty, handmade things. I love Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Charlotte Bronte.
This whole list seems random. haha. I'm a turbo-nerd English teacher who plays games and listens to NPR on the way to school. Go wild with that, I guess. :-D
Edit: it looks like I will be out of town from the 23rd to the 30th of December. I do have a box for parcels on my front porch, and I can message family to come pick up packages if need be, but just an fyi.
I'm a lady in my 30's, located in SW Ontario, Canada. Clothing size is usually medium. I can always use more mittens/gloves/socks. (Oh god I'm so ooooold, I actually want socks) Brown is my favourite clothing colour.
Interests: I am a PC gamer, book reader, and like to take walks. For games I'm interested in RPG games, WoW merchandise. (although with a toddler tearing up my house, the collectible stuff is kinda on hold right now.)
For books, I'm mostly into non fiction. Not so much into biographies, but I enjoy books about the history of places, cultures, and things.
I do have a cat, as you can see, and I am a bit of a cat person.
Music: I love good movie Soundtracks (Williams, Zimmer, etc). Also, any of the 'epic' music like Two Steps from Hell.
Not much of a movie person, I'm afraid.
I'm a sucker(heh) for chocolate/candy. Unfortunately, I have a nut allergy, so a lot of good chocolate is a no go. But if the packaging says may contain traces of nuts I will be fine. Or if you create something, you don't have to sanitize your kitchen.

Quick question, how much do people usually spend around? I know there's no minimum or maximum, but I don't want to be the cheapskate.
About 8 thousand dollars on average
I think the highest was Stale furnishing someone's apartment five or six years ago.
Holy crap, what?

Hi Satan
If you're looking for an easy task, then my amazon wishlist is full of things or suggestions of things I would love to have. It's pretty consistently updated since I hand it out for every gift giving season so you can't go wrong by picking a few items from it.
My hobbies include creating art in various media, cartoons, reading, music, and learning to play ukulele and acoustic guitar. I like dinosaurs, Rick and Morty, Pokemon, Batman, My Little Pony, and Steven Universe. I love to bake and cook in general, so cool kitchen stuff is always welcome.
I love video games, especially retro games like NES/SNES/N64, I also have a Switch, XBone, Wii, and 3DS/GBA. My taste in games ranges around things like Tomb Raider, Zelda, Limbo, Castle Crashers, Mario, and Stick of Truth/Fractured But Whole. Puzzles, RPGs, and adventures mostly, I like to character build, craft, and explore as well as the occasional beat-em-up. There's a few movies/shows/games peppered in my list, they're usually the things I want most, DVD or blu-ray is fine. I love a good horror movie if you've got a favorite to share. I'm also clearly a fan of corgis, so of course I'll take dumb corgi stuff. The corgi in my signature will also take things because he thinks every box we get belongs to him now (thanks Bark Box).
Clothes on my wishlist will always have a size in the notes if you're the type to buy people clothes.
I have no food allergies if you want to bake me things! I like dark chocolate and mint, but I'm not a big fan toffee. Sweet or savory is fair game! I also like coffee, teas without licorice, and good beers, particularly ambers and porters (no IPA).

I can't remember the exact details, but someone had moved and was broke and had fuck-all in their house, Stale looked at their wishlist and instead of buying regular presents, bought them shit like a bed, dining room table, couch etc. I also faintly remember him giving a few people MacBook Airs way back when they first came out I think? Dude just likes to give people nice things.

Hail Satan!
Hi Satan. Firstly thanks very much for doing this, you are a cool fun person.
I don't have a huge number of hobbies so I may be boring to shop for, sorry. I am mostly into wildlife/outdoorsy stuff and gardening, my Amazon wishlist is mostly things to do with that (apart from the tarot deck which... shhh). I have a vegetable plot which is very new. If you want to send me seeds or something that would be cool.
I am on Steam - ID is soapymargherita - I enjoy western RPGs, stealth games, puzzle games. Don't do multiplayer stuff because I am a curmudgeon.
I like food of basically all kinds and enjoy cooking. My favourite beverage is ale; I prefer the darker ones and don't like wheat beers or anything super hoppy. I like really dark chocolate and am partial to spicy foods. I have no allergies as far as I'm aware.
My favourite things to read are sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptica and historical fiction. Favourite recent TV stuff has been The Expanse, Stranger Things and BoJack Horseman.
Clothing is probably difficult as I am a trans dude so things tend not to fit easily. T-shirts are probably ok and I would most likely be a small, and hoodies are fine and would be either a small or medium (I am 5'6" [165cm] but I like baggy hoodies). Jeans etc should just be avoided.
I do need a decent coat/jacket, if you are the kind of person who particularly likes choosing clothes. It would ideally be waterproof and have many pockets, and I like dark and earthy colours.
If you are a crafty or arty person and feel like making me something that would be amazing. Whatever you like to create I would enjoy having, but if you need inspiration for themes then anything to do with animals or trees/nature, or stuff like The Expanse, Mass Effect and Skyrim if you want to go nerdy.
Ok, I thought I'd struggle to think of suggestions but that ended up being a lot. Thanks Satan!
Edit on 13/11: I remembered a specific thing, in case you still need ideas. I've had my eye on one of these (the 'standard' size) for a long time but never been able to justify the expense. I like both the whiskey and chocolate versions and would prefer lined paper
Edit on 15/11: Since writing this post I've developed a big interest in Anglo-Saxon England. There's a couple of books on the subject on my wishlist now but basically anything to do with the mythologies and traditions of pre-Christian England, or learning to read Old English, would be awesome.

Satan, if you wanted to buy me that 8tb external HDD for my PS4 I won't stop you.
A friend once gave me socks with The Scream on them, and i wore them long past they started getting holes in them
My dad used to have these wollen socks with a little knitted 3d santa figure on the side, but they seem to have dissappeared and i always want to find more as a present fir him
I like socks that are all the same, so I don't have to spend more than 5 minutes matching and folding socks every time I do laundry.
Also, because I am boring and terrible like that.
Sup Satan. Another trip around the sun completed eh? Things have been a little wild around here for me but it's cool, I know you always got my back.
A little about me, I'm a 33 y/o queer trans gal who's worked in IT for 15 years. You already know where I live.
Here's the thing about me: I really like games. Especially tabletop games, but games of virtually any sort are pretty much my jam. I play board games on a weekly basis and roleplaying games every other week or so - I also really enjoy playing card games (CCGs/LCGs and the like), but of late have hated the feeling that you have to dive in deeper than I care for in order to really get the full experience, so have sort of waned on those a bit unless the experience is pretty easy to get an even playing field "out of the box". For videogames, I play on PC, have an Xbox One, and a Switch. The big thing I'm really into right now is ways to "upgrade" a game experience - getting fancy components and storage for tabletop games, or perhaps a collector's edition of a treasured videogame with a cool tactile component. My BoardGameGeek collection will give you a lot of info on what I own and like, or have been keeping an eye on.
I'm also a bit of a fashionista. I have more shoes than I should be allowed and enjoy playing with outfit and makeup combinations, along with a few wigs. I wear a size 14-16 women's wear (typically "XL-XXL" in that expression), and size M in men's/unisex styles. For cosmetics, I've had consistent success with NYX, Urban Decay, and Colourpop. You can get a good sense of my style by checking out my Instagram. If you need more detailed measurements, let me know.
I do like reading books (including comics), though I haven't been doing that as much of late...just out of the habit. But don't let that stop you from sending me a good page turner.
But here's the real deal: What I love about secret satans is getting to share others' joy. So please don't hesitate to send a gift that expresses part of yourself, rather than focusing on me - something unexpected, or handmade, that you find interesting, and perhaps why it excites you. If you're really stuck, though, I do have an Amazon wishlist that has some stuff on it too. (Don't forget to use smile.amazon.com though!)
Thanks, and keep being the good ol' harbinger of chaos we all know and love.
Hey Satan! I am so excited to see what you have in store for me this year! I’m pretty simple, no fuss. I’m a nurse and I’m school to become a Nurse Practicioner, so I don’t have time for many video games or books but at always excited to try something new. Homemade gifts/edible gifts are great! I like anything chocolate or peanut butter, sugar is always good. No allergies! My amazon list is just a general assortment of things I like from them, so use it as an idea ground if you get stuck. I am an animal lover, 6 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits. I wear a 2xl in shirts (men’s are better). I like Pokémon, unicorns, narwhals, pretty much anything. I will gladly take anything you send my way!
I am married to Blackhawk1313, so he can also help you get some ideas.

I’m sad the inside of my shoe discolored the Mei socks. And yes, the ones on the right say “Turtle Power” across the toes. I wore those for my wedding, and had my best man wear a pair as well.

My overall fashion sense is white button-up shirts, gray unadorned v-necks, and black jeans. Maybe supplemented with a few jewel tones (particularly greens, reds, and purples). Often paired with a leather jacket in one of those colors, as well. I do also have a denim jacket that I am currently beating the shit out of, and if you wanted to send me a patch to add to that jacket I would iron that fucker right on (or sew it on, more likely, I don't want it to fall off).

Sometimes I listen to music? I have a record player, for when I want to not listen to said music on my phone, and if there's music you want to share with me, please feel free. I have overall fairly wide-ranging tastes - the only genre I am unequivocally not interested in is metal.

If you want to make/craft something then that's cool too! We're slowly starting an art collection for our computer/game room... so any sort of poster/canvas art based on Horizon:Zero Dawn or Breath of the Wild scenery could be cool for games we both enjoyed.
That Sushi Go Party! Game that someone got looks like it’d be fun to play with my family and nephew. Or if you’re the type to send alcohol, we like white wines and are getting into whiskeys.
Happy holidays and thanks in advance!

Honestly, you could pick a random three items from my assorted wishlists (see sig below; they are added to all the time), and I'd be as giddy as a school girl in springtime. I'm also saving up for my first tattoo, so if you threw money at that as your sataning, that's fine too!
Cheers Satan.
Raijin, did you see they're re-releasing all of The Maxx where Sam Kieth went through and recolored basically every single panel?
I'm curious to see the result -- on one hand, I'm sure it's totally gorgeous, the panels he painted in the original comics were mindblowing.
On the other hand, I've met the dude who did the original coloring (Bey Raitt, a ridiculously rad 3d modeler who ended up working on the original Gollum cg models for the LOTR trilogy and invented a lot of facial topology methods that are used today, and currently works for Valve).
My primary interests are reading urban fantasy or other fantasy novels (not so much into epic though, has to be an author I really enjoy), playing video games (mainly RPG's and JRPG's), and writing.
In regards to books I have been slacking on keeping up with newer stuff so I don't really own that many current books. Meaning if you think I'd be interested in a book that ticks the fantasy box then I'll happily give it a read. Make me a fan of what you enjoy!
For video games I mainly use my PC (Steam) and PS4, but I do own a N3DS XL with a sizable library. Also been looking into getting a Switch maybe on Black Friday. If I do I'll post in the thread and update this post. I also play a lot of Fate Grand Order on my phone when I don't feel like doing anything else.
My steam name is Madican and my wishlist there should give a good idea what type of games I enjoy, but really the main things I look for in my games are a solid story and well-written characters. Gameplay is secondary to that, but it is important. I tend to favor the action-RPG sort of gameplay especially. Some of my favorite games have been things like the new God of War and Tales of Berseria (honestly my GOTY from last year). Don't take the numbers in the wishlists as a ranking of any sort, I'm known to just move things around as my mood strikes.
Foodwise I'm trying to stick to the ketogenic diet but I will make exceptions for tasty treats on scheduled cheat days. Not allergic to anything that I know of, but I don't drink alcohol at all.

I had not seen that. That's pretty awesome. I'm definitely going to end up picking those up she. They get released.
Hi! I’m sorry this is so late. I was on a very long vacation during which I used my computer and internetted only when absolutely necessary. I will continue to edit this as I come up with more stuff to inform you of.
I live in Singapore, so sorry about that when it comes to shipping! Amazon will deliver here for many products, for what it’s worth, and there are oodles of online shops and options (shoptions?) locally that you could probably work with if you can’t handle the cost of shipping. It’s a really international place and the official language is English so 1 – all websites will be in English and 2 – everywhere will take international payment options, in my experience.
I do a fair amount of cycling; I own two bicycles, and commute to work by bike most days and just did my first big cycling tour in June. I have the basics and a good bit more but biking tools or peripherals are always useful. I’m trying to be able to do more and more of the maintenance at home on them. I do yoga regularly as well.
I travel a lot for work (and almost as much for fun); travel comfort items could be an idea for you.
I have a Switch but only have a few games for it – Zelda, MarioKart, Splatoon 2, Jackbox and Snipperclips. I also have a PS4 which is terribly underused for games – I bought and still haven’t touched the newest Wolfenstein, to give you some context.
I’ve got a good and dumb dog who is scared of rainstorms, and who is my best buddy in the world.
My biggest current wishful project is making my bedroom and guest bedroom more homey – they are both really sparsely furnished and I still have my wall art just sitting around, and it’s sad as hell.
I listen to music but my tastes are maniacally varied. I love punk and post-punk, new wave, house, Roud index folk songs (murder ballads particularly), throat singing, French and Italian film music from the 60's and 70's, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, The Talking Heads...
Things I love:
Antique or mid-century cookbooks or recipe collections.
Books. I read more than I do anything else in my spare time.
Cooking, although my free time to do this is limited to the weekends, when I try to batch-prep something for my work week.
Decorations, books, art, etc pertaining to the morbid or spooky.
Weird old stuff in general
Kung-fu films and westerns and silent films and weird horror movies
Pottery
Music of many sorts
Jigsaw puzzles, borp games (cooperative and social rather than deck-building or long-form competitive, DO NOT BUY ME RISK), crossword puzzles

For house things: I have a small mid-century house where I have leaned hard into the mid-century look inside. I don't have much on the walls, though, and not much tabletop decor. I love plants. Love, love indoor plants. And those funky mid-century plant stands.
For me things: I play piano and guitar. I could use some restocking of piano music.
I'm a big reader and a high school English teacher. I'm rebuilding a libary, so the big classics or new books that you personally love will work. Interesting local authors are always fun for me. I'm a cross-genre reader, for the most part. Definitely been delving into more sci-fi lately. Also James Baldwin (wow!).
I love music. Again pretty cross genre. I'm mostly digital on the music, but I do have my eye on a couple of retro record players, and that would be fun.
Ummmm. I have a ps2, ps4, an xbox one, and a wiiU. I'll throw some games on my Amazon list of things I don't have. I do play on Steam, but I have a Macbook with no Windows partition right now, so that does limit me.
I love nerd shirts. Especially book nerd shirts. I love getting crafty, handmade things. I love Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Charlotte Bronte.
This whole list seems random. haha. I'm a turbo-nerd English teacher who plays games and listens to NPR on the way to school. Go wild with that, I guess. :-D
Edit: it looks like I will be out of town from the 23rd to the 30th of December. I do have a box for parcels on my front porch, and I can message family to come pick up packages if need be, but just an fyi.

Holy crap, what?
Hi Satan
If you're looking for an easy task, then my amazon wishlist is full of things or suggestions of things I would love to have. It's pretty consistently updated since I hand it out for every gift giving season so you can't go wrong by picking a few items from it.
My hobbies include creating art in various media, cartoons, reading, music, and learning to play ukulele and acoustic guitar. I like dinosaurs, Rick and Morty, Pokemon, Batman, My Little Pony, and Steven Universe. I love to bake and cook in general, so cool kitchen stuff is always welcome.
I love video games, especially retro games like NES/SNES/N64, I also have a Switch, XBone, Wii, and 3DS/GBA. My taste in games ranges around things like Tomb Raider, Zelda, Limbo, Castle Crashers, Mario, and Stick of Truth/Fractured But Whole. Puzzles, RPGs, and adventures mostly, I like to character build, craft, and explore as well as the occasional beat-em-up. There's a few movies/shows/games peppered in my list, they're usually the things I want most, DVD or blu-ray is fine. I love a good horror movie if you've got a favorite to share. I'm also clearly a fan of corgis, so of course I'll take dumb corgi stuff. The corgi in my signature will also take things because he thinks every box we get belongs to him now (thanks Bark Box).
Clothes on my wishlist will always have a size in the notes if you're the type to buy people clothes.
I have no food allergies if you want to bake me things! I like dark chocolate and mint, but I'm not a big fan toffee. Sweet or savory is fair game! I also like coffee, teas without licorice, and good beers, particularly ambers and porters (no IPA).
I can't remember the exact details, but someone had moved and was broke and had fuck-all in their house, Stale looked at their wishlist and instead of buying regular presents, bought them shit like a bed, dining room table, couch etc. I also faintly remember him giving a few people MacBook Airs way back when they first came out I think? Dude just likes to give people nice things.
Love that thing to this day
I don't have a huge number of hobbies so I may be boring to shop for, sorry. I am mostly into wildlife/outdoorsy stuff and gardening, my Amazon wishlist is mostly things to do with that (apart from the tarot deck which... shhh). I have a vegetable plot which is very new. If you want to send me seeds or something that would be cool.
I am on Steam - ID is soapymargherita - I enjoy western RPGs, stealth games, puzzle games. Don't do multiplayer stuff because I am a curmudgeon.
I like food of basically all kinds and enjoy cooking. My favourite beverage is ale; I prefer the darker ones and don't like wheat beers or anything super hoppy. I like really dark chocolate and am partial to spicy foods. I have no allergies as far as I'm aware.
My favourite things to read are sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptica and historical fiction. Favourite recent TV stuff has been The Expanse, Stranger Things and BoJack Horseman.
Clothing is probably difficult as I am a trans dude so things tend not to fit easily. T-shirts are probably ok and I would most likely be a small, and hoodies are fine and would be either a small or medium (I am 5'6" [165cm] but I like baggy hoodies). Jeans etc should just be avoided.
I do need a decent coat/jacket, if you are the kind of person who particularly likes choosing clothes. It would ideally be waterproof and have many pockets, and I like dark and earthy colours.
If you are a crafty or arty person and feel like making me something that would be amazing. Whatever you like to create I would enjoy having, but if you need inspiration for themes then anything to do with animals or trees/nature, or stuff like The Expanse, Mass Effect and Skyrim if you want to go nerdy.
Ok, I thought I'd struggle to think of suggestions but that ended up being a lot. Thanks Satan!
Edit on 13/11: I remembered a specific thing, in case you still need ideas. I've had my eye on one of these (the 'standard' size) for a long time but never been able to justify the expense. I like both the whiskey and chocolate versions and would prefer lined paper
Edit on 15/11: Since writing this post I've developed a big interest in Anglo-Saxon England. There's a couple of books on the subject on my wishlist now but basically anything to do with the mythologies and traditions of pre-Christian England, or learning to read Old English, would be awesome.
But I'm also happy with socks.
edit: oooohhhhh Hard Drive
I really just like that other people like them. Plain white ankle socks for me please
This is now your wishlist post.
noooooooo
I have 12 pair already!
A friend once gave me socks with The Scream on them, and i wore them long past they started getting holes in them
My dad used to have these wollen socks with a little knitted 3d santa figure on the side, but they seem to have dissappeared and i always want to find more as a present fir him
Steam // Secret Satan
Oh wait no they also say POWER UP on the soles, I think.
They're very good VIDEO GAME SOCKS and definitely make me better at VIDEO GAMES.
So find me a black on black argyle and I'm good to go, essentially
Hmmmmm. . .
Also, because I am boring and terrible like that.
Size 12.5
Ugh, I'm going to get socks aren't I
This is karma for all the shaq fu I gifted last year
A little about me, I'm a 33 y/o queer trans gal who's worked in IT for 15 years. You already know where I live.
Here's the thing about me: I really like games. Especially tabletop games, but games of virtually any sort are pretty much my jam. I play board games on a weekly basis and roleplaying games every other week or so - I also really enjoy playing card games (CCGs/LCGs and the like), but of late have hated the feeling that you have to dive in deeper than I care for in order to really get the full experience, so have sort of waned on those a bit unless the experience is pretty easy to get an even playing field "out of the box". For videogames, I play on PC, have an Xbox One, and a Switch. The big thing I'm really into right now is ways to "upgrade" a game experience - getting fancy components and storage for tabletop games, or perhaps a collector's edition of a treasured videogame with a cool tactile component. My BoardGameGeek collection will give you a lot of info on what I own and like, or have been keeping an eye on.
I'm also a bit of a fashionista. I have more shoes than I should be allowed and enjoy playing with outfit and makeup combinations, along with a few wigs. I wear a size 14-16 women's wear (typically "XL-XXL" in that expression), and size M in men's/unisex styles. For cosmetics, I've had consistent success with NYX, Urban Decay, and Colourpop. You can get a good sense of my style by checking out my Instagram. If you need more detailed measurements, let me know.
I do like reading books (including comics), though I haven't been doing that as much of late...just out of the habit. But don't let that stop you from sending me a good page turner.
But here's the real deal: What I love about secret satans is getting to share others' joy. So please don't hesitate to send a gift that expresses part of yourself, rather than focusing on me - something unexpected, or handmade, that you find interesting, and perhaps why it excites you. If you're really stuck, though, I do have an Amazon wishlist that has some stuff on it too. (Don't forget to use smile.amazon.com though!)
Thanks, and keep being the good ol' harbinger of chaos we all know and love.
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
I completely forgot that I gifted a Shaq-Fu last year. That made me smile.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/LD3PTOACCKZ1
Okay for the update:
I am married to Blackhawk1313, so he can also help you get some ideas.
Yes.
Yes you did.
I’m sad the inside of my shoe discolored the Mei socks. And yes, the ones on the right say “Turtle Power” across the toes. I wore those for my wedding, and had my best man wear a pair as well.
