Hello and welcome to the Mac Power Users. I'm David Sparks, and I'm joined, as always, by your

friend and mine. Mr. Stephen Hackett. How are you today, Stephen? I'm good, David. How are you?

I'm excited, man. It's time to talk about gift guides. We get to do this once a year. Throughout the

year, I'm writing things down that I want to put on this list.

And today we get to unload on the audience. So, gang, hold on your wallets, strap in. Let's do the

2025 MPU holiday gift guide. Yeah, it's always an exciting episode. And a real stamp of how fast the year

passes. Yes, it is, isn't it?

We just did this.

Speaking of the end of the year, though,

got a little announcement on the relay side.

So each year at Relay, we do a sale on our annual membership plans.

So that's going on right now.

It's going to run through the end of the year this time.

So if you go to giverelay.com, there's a link in the show notes.

You can get 20% off any of our annual plans for yourself, or you can gift it to somebody else.

So this is the gift guide episode.

This is a great gift for somebody nerdy in your life.

And what we do here on Mac Power Users is an ad-free, longer version of the show. So we do the regular show and then we have a topic at the end. This week, I'm going to kind of do an update on my smart home stuff since I moved. And I took the opportunity to kind of redo what I had been doing previously.

So that'll be at the end of the show for members.

But it's a great time to support us directly.

You get the show.

You also get a bunch of cool perks from Relay.
