Bring On The Bubbles!

It’s almost the end of August and I realized we didn’t do one bubble gadget so far this year. So I went over to Amazon and found the Trilvix LED Torch, a 21-Hole Bubble Wand with LED lights! It’s says ‘Toy for Kids’. Yes, and certain adults, like me and my fans. The Olympic Torch-Themed Bubble Wand comes with a bottle of bubble solution (50ml) which screws directly into the bottom of the torch. The Amazon page says it includes 2 Packs of Concentrated Bubble Solution, but my kit had four packs. It does requires 4 AA Batteries (Not Included). Although the batteries are not included, installing them is a breeze with the removable battery case which is really convenient. As you’ll see on this week’s show, this wand works great putting out a lot of small, colorful bubbles. Inexpensive too, at $11.99 on 8/28/25 on Amazon.

Mo Torres, our most loyal fan, has been digitizing lots of my old on-air video tapes and DVD’s. Since I have so many DVD’s I thought I buy an external player for my Legion computer. I want one that might included some extra ports since I’m running put out of inputs on my computer. The external DVD/CD drive said to be newly released by Origbelie is a good solution. No need for additional drivers, it was just Plug and Play. This external drive can not only burn and read a CD or DVD, but it also can be used as an external USB hub. It features 1 USB 3.0 port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 1 TF slot ,1 SD card slot and 1 USB C Port. I believe the USB C port is there in case you need to add more power when using it with a laptop. The company says their drive is compatible with windows11/10/8/7, mac os and Linux. But it’s NOT COMPATIBLE with Chromebook, Surface, or Blue-ray. It was under $26 on Amazon, 8/28/25.

Beckee, a huge long time Giz Wiz fan emailed me that her sister Lorrie found something really cute on Amazon and wondered if I had reviewed it. I had not, but when I saw it, I thought this would be a fun gadget for the Giz Wiz Show. Meet The Adorable LED Duck Lamp! On Amazon it’s listed as MUID Benson Lying Flat Duck Night Light. The company says ‘With its cute Duck shape and warm light, kids will more easily fall asleep while playing. You can tap the top to adjust the brightness of the night light to low, medium and bright. Made of high-quality food-grade soft material silicone, water-resistance & drop-resistance, 100% safe for your child. which you can knead at will. Made with baby-safe BPA-free silicone to ensure safety. Charge the built-in 1200 mAh battery for 2-3 hours and you’ll get 4 to 6 hours of light, depended on the brightness. Was under $17.00 8/28/25 on Amazon.

It’s August and on this show the winning voted on by our loyal Patreons was Cheap Disco Gadgets, (including lights, sounds, etc.)

And Chad’s final Cheap Disco Gadget is the ONN Portable CD/Cassette Boombox with Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

Chad said there’s nothing that says “disco” more than having a boombox with a built-in cassette tape deck, CD player, digital AM/FM radio (with 20 station presets) and Bluetooth Streaming. He was impressed that it even has an AUX in jack and headphone jack for versatile connectivity. It requires 6 C batteries (not included) for on-the-go use, or use the included power cord. Chad said the sound is not great, but also not bad for a complete system that cost $34.88 at Walmart he Chad bought his.
