Thank you Strosahl for the joyous clone presents!! Great pleasure to unwrap them! Your solve path was helpful to me Rangsk along with seeing @4:38 when you placed the 5 in r4, i noticed where does 3 go then in r4, only available in c2.
Huh, I'm surprised I found this easier than others, based on the times I see in the comments! For me this just flowed really wonderfully, loved it from beginning to end, and finished in 2:43. Many thanks to Strosahl for the great puzzle, and to Rangsk for presenting it!
Oh, that makes things a lot easier. I managed to solve it in about 35 minutes all told, ended up goodliffin it all and trying to put r4c45 into r3. As usual, thanks to you for the solve and to strosahl for the puzzle!
I don't normally do cross-box pencil marking, but for columns 3 and 4, I knew that there had to be a 4 in the rightmost column of the present, and the 1 had to be in the leftmost column, because of the locations of the given 1 and 4. So I pencil-marked both of those in the presents, across boxes. It seemed to help. My time today was 3:57, solver number 57.
@3:39 another way to look at it is 2 is in forced to c1 of box 4 which forces 2 into r2c3 and the puzzle collapses. I saw the given 5 places most 5s, and so I thought the given 2 would do the same trick as the given 5 - and it does.
Great puzzle Strosahl and great solve! If you continued with the same logic when you found the first 5s (for the 4s inside the present, for example), I think the puzzle would have collapsed, making the solve "easier". But it's always fun to see different technics!

The 2 in column 3 was restricted to one cell like the 5 in column 4.
