Secret Satans 2018 - Gifting complete!

damn i don’t know who this is at all!!
As far as I can tell, one is an anime disk set I wasn’t expecting until at least next week, but the other is a pair of Pretty Awesome Socks!
So, thank you Satan, who I’m relatively certain is @Tofystedeth (if my Facebook detective work is anything to go by)
Anyway yesterday I got back from doing some last-minute emergency "I live in a goddamn tropical island nation but don't own ANY resort wear" shopping to find A PACKAGE UPON MY DOORSTEP
I didn't really think I was expecting anything from Amazon (although I've had some things in my cart and it's always possible that I pulled the trigger on a purchase while at work and forgot), and also this package had some next-level cosmetic reconstruction, even given that Singapore customs often checks contents... poorly.
As soon as I opened the box it was clear that this was not from Amazon at all!
A BOOK I HAVE NOT HEARD OF!
Ages ago Nic actually recommended that I buy Every Day is for the Thief, which I still have not done, but it has been on my book-buying wishlist since then. This is another book by the same author, and it seems very interesting. I am extremely excited. I. Love. Books.
Spicy basil caramels. Holy fuck these are so good. I shoved one in my mouth immediately because if adulthood is 90% getting excited about investing in new bathmats or smart lightbulbs, it's 10% indulging in instant gratification because no one can tell you not to anymore. WTF how can I get more of these.
This tag on the last thing also said "I warned you" on the reverse:
An actually shockingly cute and stylish beret!? I genuinely would have called BS on that being a thing that existed, but BEHOLD!
Thank you, Nic! These presents are all wonderful! I am hiding the caramels because I told the housesitters who are coming today that they could help themselves to whatever they wanted but I LIED.

also when SS names went out I'd already announced I was going to knit something, and then I got the person who is probably the least in need of knitted goods in the whole forum
and then I said "fuck it" and knit you something anyway JUST DEAL WITH IT
also so glad it got there before christmas, I was not sure if that would be the case!
now for round 2
<.<

Yes it's me.
Those socks were also scheduled to arrive on the 3rd so the final piece may very well show up in the next couple days.
Thank you mystery Satan!
its a satan's miracle!

Merry Christmas, @Blackhawk1313 !
The recipe I use for fudge is extremely versatile. It's mostly morsels. For a plain batch I'd use 3 cups of milk chocolate morsels, and if I wanna give it a different flavor I'll just swap 1 cup (or less) for some other morsels (or something similar). Peanut butter morsels are one of the best alternatives; besides being tasty, it gives the chocolate an extremely smooth texture.
In this case, I swapped out 1 cup of milk chocolate for 1 cup worth of cherry andes candies. Pretty basic. I've done the same thing with the regular kind to make mint fudge a bunch of times. Always comes out real good.

It takes barely 15 minutes to make, and it's pretty much foolproof. Just be sure to keep it wrapped up, so it doesn't get dry. And in the fridge, because ants.
And like I said before, you can alternate the main ingredient in all kinds of ways. A few times, I've done a 2-layer peppermint bark fudge, with one layer standard milk chocolate and the other layer white chocolate with peppermint (either with storebought crushed peppermint, or with peppermint extract).
I've even made Undertale fudge (butterscotch morsels, with a lot of cinnamon thrown in). Although I found out that butterscotch morsels are softer than chocolate, and I had to add an extra cup of them to get it to firm up. I gotta remember to not use the full can of milk for that one. lol

Fuzzy seems unimpressed with a taped up box.
What mysteries does this rectangle of corrugated cardboard hold?
A new cookbook! Of Viennese Cuisine! Most excellent!
A spaetzle making thing! And a skimmer to retrieve the spaetzle from the boiling water! How convenient! Also, a new wooden spoon. Love a good wooden spoon.
Foodstuffs! I think? The tube-y thing is all in German, and I have no idea what it might be. But I think it might be food of some variety. Possibly.
(Not pictured are three chocolates that were consumed before they could pose for the group photo. They were delicious.)
SOCKS!!!
Music!
And some questionable reading materials. Probably just box filler, but receiving Jesus pamphlets in a Satans! box is highly amusing. Makes me giggle.
All together, a lovely surprise.
Fuzzy is wondering why there is no catnip. She will quickly forget there was nothing for her, and find the box to be the height of entertainment this evening. Silly cat.
Unfortunately, there was no note! So I don't know whom to thank!
"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
How did those books get in there
Where is the other stuff
And somehow the contents of a different package got in there
The kitchen utensils which unfortunately don't make a whole lot of immediate sense without the spaetzle book (but the other cookbook also contains spaetzle recipes I'm sure)
Things which someone else must've put into the box:
Bootleg music
Strange books, I'm sorry one of them reads Why Blood?
What seems to be missing:
My note!
The aforementioned spaetzle book
Possibly some more foodstuffs but I can't remember! The mustard looks like it's been through a lot
Is that what the tube is? I'm sure whoever got the spaetzle book is just as confused as I am about Why Blood and the kiddie language workbook.
Thank you for the box, I will enjoy the new cookbook and kitchen toys.
"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
Sorry for the weirdness, I'd really like to know what happened, it can't be that someone snuck the pamphlets in there in an effort to "save" you
"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
The white stuff is horseradish, the kind you'd eat with a nice Tafelspitz
And I'm glad you like it!
"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
Do NOT listen to them.

"Brilliant! Oh wait, if we were meant to fly, we would have been born with little bags of nuts."
If the box went across a border, I think it’d be safe to lay the blame on Customs officials.
Reports on the fudge will be forthcoming over the next few days. It has successfully made the trip with me down to see my wife so we will he enjoying it for certain here.
Definitely cursed

Sadly, my Satan decided to remain anonymous, but because of the gift labels, I know his True Name! And with that power....
Also, I received a pair of snugly warm socks! Pip is very impressed with them.
I also received a wonderful set of foldable organization boxes, so I can finally try to organize my house.... eventually.

Small adjustment to my Satan then. To my Satan, if you absolutely MUST buy socks, perhaps consider donating some to a shelter in my name so they get some much needed use. We all win! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if I got socks. In fact, I think all the gifted socks are awesome. They just wouldn't get much use and I'd feel bad.
Side note: Hope my family goes back to the traditional white cotton socks this year. The fluffy socks from last year are still in tags.

This is what I get for drunk amazon-ing after working a 16 hour day. Miss the little details.
Cheers darlin!
Hey Satan! Look over here!!

Inside I found a strawberry!
Or at least something trying hard to be. The note reads I open it up to reveal..
Clue on Blu-Ray! A Clu-Ray!...
I'll see myself out for that one.
Anyways this movie is great. I actually got Matev this for Satans in 2016 but had never got around to getting a copy for myself. Thanks Satan!
