Alright, so here's how it goes:

I'm new to using btc, finally got some today.

I had JUST withdrawn btc from localbitcoins into my blockchain wallet to do some Christmas shopping for my family.  Then, a few minutes later, my browser crashed.  When I reopened my browser, none of the tabs were open, none of my history was there.

So, I get right back into Christmas shopping, see some things I wanted to get, so I go to check my balance, only to realize my identifier isn't there anymore.  So I think "No big deal" and start scanning my emails (I've had multiple blockchain wallets over the last couple months, so I know how the whole verification thing works.)

Here's where my heart sinks:  While scanning through my email, it dawns on me that I hadn't registered my email with my current wallet, but with a different wallet I had created earlier and stopped using.

So here I am with no identifier, no email or SMS verification, and no alias.  To top it all off, I forgot to write down the recovery thing (with all the random words strung together).

In addition to all that, I put 100% of my available spending money into this wallet.  (I'm an idiot)

Is it lost forever?  I'm losing my mind here.  It would be really bad to have to explain why I didn't get any Christmas gifts for anyone this year.

Here's what I do have:  both the sending and receiving address of my most recent transaction, the password to my wallet, and the exact balance in my wallet.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If it's just your ID you're missing, and you still know your password, you're probably OK.

Open a support request here: https://blockchain.info/support-desk

Be sure to include as much information as you can -- your previous wallet IDs, your IP address, your recent transactions, your balance (I wouldn't include your password but do mention that you still have it).

Good luck....

If you remember your password, you can contact blockchain.info & they can help you easily.
But, if you still can access your email that used for registering, there are chance blockchain.info send identifier  Smiley

I don't think blockchain will help in this but I might be wrong. If you don't know the identifier, they will ask you to get it from your registered e-mail, which as you say you cannot remember, it will be a tough call for them. Ask the support and please keep us updated on how this went.
