At First I Didn’t Understand What “Kervaky Custom Socks with Face Dog” meant.
Then checking out the photos, I understood. You can order Kervaky Custom Socks with a photo of your face on them, or your pet, or your kids, etc. It’s easy to customize them too. Just click the “CUSTOMIZE NOW” button and then click “UPLOAD YOUR IMAGE”. You do need to upload a clear picture for best results. As you’ll see on this week’s show, I thought my socks turned out very well indeed. I believe mine were $13.99, but I put a link to another copy that is offering something very similar for under $10. And at the bottom of that second link, there are many other options. The one I bought are according to Amazon: “made from high quality polyester that ensures good comfort and softness”. And “Machine wash: cold wash with similar colors and hang dry.”

The Giz Wiz Buys & Tries Another LED Doggie Harness!
Yes, I bought and reviewed a different LED dog harness last month. But there were a few things I didn’t like about it. I like this one a lot better. You’ll hear the reasons why on this week’s show, but here are some hints. There are 7 steady colors to choose from, or 7 color changing colors. You can set them for fast or slow glowing. The harness’s battery has a rubberized seal against rain and when fully charged can last up to 8 hours. There are two easy adjusting straps and the vest uses breathable mesh fabric for durability and comfort for your pet. There’s a rugged handle on top in case you need to hold your pet steady for any reason. It was under $30 on Amazon as of 12/21/24. There was also a 19% off coupon there on that date.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
It’s December and Chad’s Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by Chad himself is: Cheap Holiday Gadgets. Why was the theme not voted on by our loyal Patreons? Unfortunately Chad is/was working with Patreon tech support to fix some issues with our account, so our poll never made it online. So Chad figured Cheap Holiday Gadgets would be good, cheap idea.
Chad’s third cheap holiday gadget is the 5Ft Pop Up Christmas Tinsel Tree with Multi-Color Timer LED Lights
Chad loved this pop up Christmas tree because it takes almost no room and has lots of LED lights that can be controlled by an app, or remote control. Chad pointed out that it’s the most buttons he’s ever seen on an LED remote control. It’s also easy to assemble, set up and take down. No tools needed. It is skinny. Five feet high with just a13.7″ diameter, so perfect for any small space! Prices for that tree are all the place since so many companies sell the same tree. I found this one on Amazon, showing the exact same box Chad has and it’s about the same price Chad paid, under $27.00. (That might be a price when signed in as a Prime Member.)

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our email and warehouse video is from Jeff & Adam who write:
Good Morning Gentlemen,
I wanted to send you a new Gadget warehouse video on yet another item that is getting returned. It is basically an immersive device for playing and watching various movies and games. The problem is not only does it make the user look like a Superhero, but it is very uncomfortable and doesn’t really add much to the experience. Needless to say it is going back to the store.
Love the show – Take care Jeff and Adam

====================================================
Submit Your Gadget Warehouse Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!
1. Video can be ANYTHING about a gadget: I bought a piece of crap. I bought a gadget I love. I have an old gadget I can’t part with because it was ‘high tech’ years ago! Even a ‘What The Heck Is It? Gadget.
2. Videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long in Horizontal Format! Low production value is fine, but we need to hear you and see your gadget clearly! You can be in the video if you like.
3. Post your Video on YouTube and click ‘unlisted’ when you upload it if you want, but not “Private” or we won’t be able to see it. Send us the URL link from YouTube.
4. If we show your video (and we show 99% of them) and live in the US or Canada you’ll get an autographed current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of the US & Canada, I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res image. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific!
