Don’t sweat it, friend. It’s give and take honestly. It’s very helpful to have broad ideas and skills listed, and it’s often helpful to have specific gift ideas listed so long as somepony else asks for that. But it’s also nice to have people without specific gifting preferences because a lot of people also don’t have specific wishlist preferences. And sometimes if you ask to give a specific gift and nobody asks for it I feel bad that I can’t accommodate. (like the Lily Valley hypothetical. Imagine someone has Lily Valley listed amongst their favorites, but strongly waifus Maud. If I have to assign them to either a Maud Santa or the Lily Valley Santa then I’m gonna go with Maud, but then I feel sad. Many such cases.) Plus, unfortunately, there are some specific gifts that I have trouble finding assignments for but always have offered. Quite a few people have extra /mppp/ fillies for example, and want to send some green bundle of sticks to promote cheer. Alas, the kind of person who wants an /mppp/ filly almost certainly already has one at this point so she appears in fewer and fewer wishlists as time goes on and people who ask specifically to give one away are usually left unsatisfied because I can’t accommodate all of them. To be clear none of this is complaining, if you have a filly plush or other specific gift in mind please list it! It’s better to have that info than not, because someone can always sign up looking for that specific thing! Sometimes it’s just a no-win scenario unfortunately and I just have to eat the psychic damage.
