Things you are interested in and/or not interested in (including whether you are open to receiving booze/porn/paraphernalia- please check your local booze laws)

i don't drink, take drugs, or masturbate, so please no alcohol, drugs, or pornography
i have no room in my closet and i make most of my clothing anyway so clothing is not necessary
i don't really have room for knick-knacks, books, curios or other small items
my diet is preplanned so snacks or holiday treats would be unfortunately wasted effort

like last year i'll likely be out of town with my gift arrives so i'll have it sent to a friend's address to protect the gift from damage or theft, so please no perishable goods, gross surprises, industrial waste, mine tailings, or anything else that would be a nuisance for a normal

I will be in Saudi Arabia until the spring so please don't send booze/porn/paraphernalia or I will be investigated by the religious police/deported/killed.

Anything electronic (steam, etc) would be great and simplify things for both of us. If you want to send me something please note that the package can/will disappear and/or be rummaged through by customs. I also have a Canadian address if you'd like to send something that I won't be able to open for a few months.

*chosen deity* help me.

no booze, porn, drugs

Booze is good.

I have children. I have pets. 2x old annoying cats. 1x small annoying yappy dog (wife's), lots of chickens, horses actually i got lots of animals ffs.

last year i got booze.

this household has a XBONE

we are building a new home currently, and the laundry has been wired with cat6.

Kids and family like games (board games etc.), so I guess some interesting games that we dont really get in bumfuckville nz would be good i guess.

we dont have any windows computing devices in this house

i love you all

this is me posting irl
I am open to receiving booze, maybe really good porn, but not drug paraphernelia as I am a huge loser wussbag who does not do drugs. I like whisk(e)y, cognac, rum, basically any brown liquor.

I have two cats, a small gray shorthair and a big floofy maine coon. They have a Kitty City hideaway that they enjoy, and I bet they would like additions as well!

Additionally I am a huge space opera nerd, I enjoy Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, animes about space pirates and space trains and assorted bullshit, etc.


That said I am also down for whatever wacky/zany/creative gift ideas as you may conceive.
