It's Actually Holly-Elizabeth Lawrence.:p Hence Why I sign my stuff HEL.

I'm just mighty lazy and I find that being called 'Holly-Elizabeth' makes me sound like a country bumpkin.

LOL and I thought it made you sound super classy. XD

One of my friend's name is Antoinette and her last name is long AND hyphenated. It sounds so posh and hoity toity.

Everyone calls her toni. lol

I have to ponder what to get and quickly send it. This year I'll put my handle on the gift, because last year I don't think my recipient even knew I was the one who sent him something.

As for me, I'm not picky, just let me know in the note if it'd be safe to open in front of my child. I like creativity, and I like being surprised.

The thread is now yours to give hints to your secret santa.

C'mon! I made a whole thread with a big hint as to my tastes. Oh well, I'll give some broader strokes:

I rarely buy decorative stuff for myself, but I don't feel like I have nearly enough geeky trinkets. (Which reminds me, my mom got me an awesome wire sculpture when on a business trip with my dad, I need to post pics when I'm feeling better. It's this alien bug-warrior looking thing, and it's awesome.)

I have a Steam wishlist, but I'm already feeling guilty about my unplayed "list of shame" so getting me more games should be crossed of the idea list.

I love the Discworld novels, but so far I've mostly gotten them from the library, and I'm not up-to-date in my reading. Last I read was Making Money, and I only own the 3 or 4 that I couldn't find in the library system.

I enjoy comic books, but I haven't read much of anything in years. Green Lantern and the Flash are my favorite heroes, but I hardly have any trades featuring them.

I look forward to this time of year for listening to Christmas music, but I rarely seem to buy any Christmas albums. Go figure.

Woo, Christmas!

I guess my list would look similar to last year. As others have said, anything local would be cool, especially if it can be displayed on my (slightly less) empty mantle. Honestly, if you'd rather make something I have no problem with that, I love home-made stuff. I've been on a Batman kick lately, and realized I don't have many trades (I have Killing Joke, DK2, The Long Halloween, and Cacophony). I don't mind adult things, and I am a fan of alcohol so no worries there. I like gadgets in general, or multifunctional items...and I like Dachshunds, I guess.

I hope that's good enough to generate some ideas, really I just like to be surprised.

I'd have to edit mine.. and I don't want to. Sorry gift giver I have faith in your gift giving abilities.

Gah, I got a tricky one. Dammit.

Ok, for me,
If I got one of our creative forumites, A small sample of your wares would be awesome. I have no artistic abilities and love looking at the work produced by those lucky few.
I have a huge list of books I have yet to read, and I do enjoy owning books forever. So pretty much anything by Pratchett or Salinger. Zombie apocolypse books are always good too. Feel free to send me something from your favourite author too. While I normally stick to fantasy I will read almost anything.
I'm a huge chevy fan, but living down under, kinda hard to get paraphernalia. Keychain bottle opener would be amazing :p

I'm super hard to buy for, my family lets me know this every year. In case you get a brain wave from some of my other interests that don't really have practical gift giving applications : I'm a fan of martial arts (currently nidan in shotokan karate, and looking at starting BJJ next year), I love tabletop games ranging from traditional board games right through to DnD. So if you know of a cool obscure card/ board game I would proabably love it.

After looking at my hint list...I feel sorry for whoever got me. Now to stalk my person to find a hint or 3.

My Christmas wish list... I collect magnets and always get my friends etc to get me a magnet from where ever they're visiting. A magnet from where ever you live would be nice. I love home made cards over store bought ones. Anything you made yourself or one of a kind items. Anything make up related or purses are always great! :D I like to read so books are good to especially if they're a biography. I have yet to read any Ayaan Hirsi so that might be a good place to start. I'm not a fan of Star Trek, but do love Star Wars and anything Yoda. I also like music, but I'm not a big fan of country music.

Can we wait until Christmas to open our gift? I normally don't receive anything for Christmas as I was born/raised a muslim so despite celebrating Christmas as an adult nobody usually gets me anything so at least this year I'll have two gifts to open. One from my boyfriend and one from my secret Santa.

My wish list: Anything that is not porn or sex toys. I'm not against that sort of thing, but you never know who's going to get the package...

So surprise me!

You can wait until Christmas to open your gift, or one week after receiving it - whichever is later.

So if you get your gift next week, you don't have to open it and post pictures until Christmas, then you'll need to post pictures ASAP after opening it.

Hardest thing that I didn't think about...if I get media, I'm not sure what kind of media to get. DVD/BR/Streaming...

You might have to stick with the bluray/dvd/digital combos a lot of movies are being sold in these days.

If it becomes very important, you can ask me and I'll ask your recipient to maintain secrecy, but the question alone is a pretty big hint as to the gift type...

I cant send my gift until I get paid so hope my person doesn't panic.

Don't panic person!

Indeed. A classy one at that. I'm scared that form may have eaten it. Like a grue.

Anyways... yeah people really need to post their wish lists... the sorry sap I got hasn't posted anything yet. If I get nothing by next week... congrats on the bag of white socks.

I love to read, Amazon and Kindle are my friends. Star Wars and Star Trek shaped my childhood. Would like stuff that is local to you or things from Think Geek. I'll have fun with all kinds of stuff.

Please no NSFW stuff and I'm not a drinker (I think we've had the same bottle (small bottle) of tequila for 2 years now).
