What are his must reads? I have some leftover Christmas money and I really want to get some more books of his after I read The Wendigo last year.
Recommendations for collections that I can buy online (eg Book Depository) are greatly appreciated.

get the Penguin collection (Ancient Sorceries) if you don't have it already. it has The Willows and The Man Whom the Trees Loved which are up there with The Wendigo for his strongest stories.

I think his masterworks are his John Silence stories but I also see them as the culmination of themes from his stories so I'm not sure I'd recommend jumping right into them. There's also a book, Talking to the Gods, with an interesting chapter on Blackwood's occultism.

The Willows.
