0:00.0	MacPowell users 225, the 2014 gift guide. Hello everyone it's David Sparks along with my pal Katie Floyd how are you?
0:19.2	I'm good David can you believe that it's holiday gift giving season already I mean that's shocking I love gifts I do
0:26.7	giving them I love receiving them I love receiving them I don't know if I've ever talked about it on the show before but I have this unhealthy love of wrapping them.
0:34.5	Oh can I like ship you some stuff because I go I love wrapping gifts and I go crazy it may take me a half hour to wrap a single gift, but it is perfect at the end.
0:44.3	Oh, I wish I would do that. I liked wrapping stuff when I was a kid. I like had this whole
0:48.5	Katie's little gift wrapping side business because my dad hated wrapping gift, so he'd pay me like 20 bucks to
0:54.4	wrap all of his Christmas gifts and I use that for my Christmas money when I was a
0:57.7	little kid and the the gifts were just horrendously wrapped but I guess it was

1:41.2	It's going to make you mad. But one other tip is you take you
1:45.4	get on Netflix and you go through all the Doctor Who Christmas specials and you get all the gifts
1:49.7	in front of you and you get the paper and oh by the way get the paper with the lining on the inside
1:54.8	not double-sided paper get the thick paper with like the ruler lines on the inside so you
1:58.6	can cut it appropriately. I'm telling you I like sharpen your scissors before you get ready to go I do
2:05.0	sharp enough to split a hair I I don't mess around I'm I am not kidding I could talk
