Are you going to update the OP with santa helper names? Do you plan on PM'ing everyone yourself or are you going to get some help? I'll be glad to help if you need it.
Good work! Thanks for doing this!

Here is some information for my SS since matches are going out soon:
I have a SNES, N64, GC, WiiU, PS2, PS3, PS4, original Xbox, Game Boy Color/Advance, DS, 3DS and PSP.
I like pretty much every genre except for sports simulations (e.g. FIFA).
Besides video games I'm into Magic the Gathering and started to play drums again recently.
I'd love to get candy from your country, especially the kind of candy that you probably won't find in other countries.
I don't really like collectibles like figurines, so please don't waste your money on them for me.

Dear Secret Santa,
I am a 28 year old freelance illustrator/writer who does a TON of event work mostly for fun, sometimes as side gigs while I figure myself out. If you can count them as "day jobs," I've been working for a yet-to-launch start up pro bono which is all right but I've been thinking about quitting next year to pursue more ambitious projects/other interests.
I'm also a writing intern for a small and upcoming comic news/reviews website which means I read loads of comics for review and analysis. It's been pretty fun as it's been improving my writing skills thanks to criticism. I can see myself writing for a website as a "day job" once I get a large amount of articles under my belt.
I'm a huge sucker for art supplies since I can never have enough of them, graphic novels, welcome local alcoholic beverages since I like trying out new beers and ciders (not a fan of IPAs nor stouts) as well as trinkets e.g. necklaces, rings, and bracelets/wristbands. I do photography as a hobby which is on hiatus at the moment. Junot Diaz is my favorite writer bar none being that I'm Dominican-American and I have/read all three of his books; two of which I got autographed by him. I'm sure you can glean other stuff if you do some research and dig around. My Amazon Wishlist will give you a solid idea of things I like but you don't have to follow it to a T. My Instagram has a bunch of my art in it. Note: I haven't updated it in over a month.
As for gaming consoles, I don't have any of the current gen consoles as I mostly game on the 3DS these days and will turn on my 360 once in a few months. My brother has a PS3 in his room and a small library of games. We have older consoles too. I'm a huge sucker for JRPGs, beat em up games, and open world games that pretty much give the player free reign to explore since I love that stuff. Some of my favorite games that I've enjoyed are God Hand, Deadly Premonition, the Dragon Quest series Double Dragon, Fallout: New Vegas, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, most of Nintendo's franchises, and the Yakuza series.
Random ideas/thoughts: A custom made card complete with art and a handwritten message. Also graphic novels/novels in Spanish/from countries outside of the U.S. since I've been looking to improve my vocabulary. I like surprises so think outside the box. Shirt size: XL. I might edit this post somewhere down the line.
As a bonus. here's what I wanted for Christmas when I was a 10 year old 5th grader:

Got my TT! I'm getting an idea of what this person needs/wants, as well.
For my SS, I didn't post any personal details or clues because I'm down with anything and love the surprise of it.

For my SS:
Male
Age: 43
Current occupation: Classified
Favourite Color: Blue or Black
Favourite Hobbies: Gaming, jogging, shooting, swords, pop music concerts
Consoles Owned: PS4 Pro, PSVR, Vita, Wii U
Favourite movies or genres: Almost anything. Not a fan of horror
Aloha SS. I'm a government employee in Hawaii that games ( no need to get me any games though) and likes to watch movies and tv. I will watch almost anything good if I haven't tried it. I dislike most horror films though.
I have quite a few Hobbies including running/jogging but my foot is currently a little messed up so I can't run for awhile.
I read books on my Kindle whenever I find time, with fiction being a low percentage of my reading, opposite of what I like to watch( gimme stories when I watch!).
I like most pop music, and am quite a Katy Perry fan actually (flashbacks of the Interview).
I like knives, and tactical lights, and have a collection of katana.
I like cool things from places I've never been to. That is the most unique thing to me... Something I cannot normally get. Living on an island surrounded by water is both a blessing and a curse. Travelling to those places is something I recently became much more interested in.
I like trinkets and gadgets and doodads that most people don't have.
I was into cars but that has subsided a bit. V8 rear wheel drive for life though.
Big Street Fighter fan since the original SF2.
Sonic fan too ( we never learn)
Love Destiny. Got a cool artbook for it last year during SS.
Love Overwatch.
I don't know if this helped or not, but no fears SS. Whatever you send will be cool.
Much Mahalo!

First, thank you Nico for doing this again!
I don't believe I have very many posts that would enable to give off what I like, so I'll do one of those lists to help out!
Male age 31
Shirt size XL (will eventually be down to a large as I've lost 60 pounds this year)
Current Occupation: eCommerce for an automotive dealership
Hobbies: Video games, collecting David Choe stuff, running, baseball (San Francisco Giants fan, born and raised), My pug(my avatar).
Consoles owned: PS4 Pro, Playstation VR, New Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, Gaming Laptop
I will pretty much try any genre of game, I enjoy indie and AAA alike. My favorite series in video games are Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Wild Arms, Mass Effect. Some of my favorite games this year have been Firewatch, Abzu, Final Fantasy XV, Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank, Titanfall 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Odinsphere, Salt and Sanctuary. My PSN is TsaiPesmerga if you want to see what I've played recently
TV shows/movies - Westworld, Pushing Daisies, Seinfield, Wes Anderson films, I'm pretty open with movies honestly.
I've toned down my collecting quite a bit this year. However, I don't get rid of gifts!
Honestly, I'm a pretty easy guy to please, I'll most likely enjoy anything you'd like to get me, be it some cookies, a Xbox One, a pair of socks, a used shirt, a video game for a console I don't own, or your favorite book. I'll still appreciate the time and effort you put into doing this.
I got my TT and I've seen them post quite a bit, hopefully I'll rock their world. I did well the last two years, lets see how this one goes.
Edit: Side note, just noticed they're going to PSX so I'll even get to meet them without knowing it!

Dear SS, I will be using the following template as a guideline hopefully to help you.
I am an economics graduate that decided to get into accounting 4-5 years ago, worked for almost 2 years in a property management company. I recently quit to join an accounting firm, starting on December 12th.
I have spent the last 2 years trying to get into shape, lost about 25 pounds and I am still focused on improving myself. I recently starting hitting the gym, previously did at-home workouts (P90X, P90X3, Insanity Max 30) but doing weight training now with the help of a friend.
I am not really expecting any video games, because I tend to buy lots of games and not really play them. My favourite game this year is Overwatch, but I normally don't play FPS.
I used to collect action figures, but they got expensive so I cut back a lot on it. There are some things I cannot find in Canada at all (will list below). Although I don't collect figures much now, I still collect Pokemon figures, Funko Pops and the occasional imported toy from Japan. I also still love Amiibos, but don't really collect them for the time being.
One thing I would love to do is learn to play the guitar, I have an old guitar that I need to re-string and plan to self-learn it.
I don't really like to read, but if there is a really interesting book I may actually read it. I am always trying to overcome my weaknesses and improve.
I am somewhat of a boring person, so I hope it's not too hard to shop for but I'd really be happy with anything. I hope these help. I'd probably be surprised either way, lol.

Wow. That was fast. I finally got someone more than 2+ hr drive from me.
To my SS:
I have left a few cookie crumb trails in my posts. I was hoping for an extra day or two to work on it but you can start stalking to see if you can find them.
Quote to see some hints
="
So I'm writing this incase you need some help finding my crumbs. Within my post history, the edited posts should be within my last 50 posts. There's three specific posts with clues revealed by quoting. They are in three OT topics that I post in frequently.
Outside of those specific interests
I'm 30, female
I go to the local university and just now completing my first semester after transferring.
Something new that has been added to my bucket list is to go back to Flagstaff, Arizona. I stopped the night there on my drive home from Texas last Christmas. It was snowing when we got into town and about a foot of snow fell overnight. It was slow going in the morning but absolutely gorgeous to see and it's just a short drive out of town to see the South Rim of the grand canyon. I would love to go back to see it some day. So a gift card for a hotel (we stayed at an econo lodge hotel) or something that would help the cost of the trip there. It doesn't have to be much. I also want to go back to Lake Tahoe, but I doubt I'd ever get the bargain deal of $35 a night at the CalNeva resort (before they started restoring it).
I like personal gifts and stuff that has thought put into it. I totally don't mind used stuff. Half my stuff has come from flea markets and thrift stores or else I would be able to afford it.
Not sure what else to put, but if I think of something I'll edit this post again.

Just a quick question, what are the rules on ordering via Amazon etc, is it okay as long as we choose gift wrapping during the checkout process?
