How Christmas-y does this sound? The Skull — Where smoke comes out of his eyes!

Yes, on Amazon it’s listed as the SOYO Incense Waterfall Burner Skull Christmas Decoration. More info: The Gothic decor backflow incense burner can be used both with incense cones and incense sticks. There are some LED lights inside the skull incense waterfall. (Well, there’s one LED) Turn on the switch at the bottom of the incense burner, the skull will flash a beautiful color. It ships with 120 backflow cones & 30 sticks & 1 tweezers & 1 Mat in the package. Incense cones burned for about 10 minutes each. The idea is good, but watch this week’s show to see how mine worked. It was under $15 on 12/20/23.

So What The Heck Is It?

Meet the DOG NIGHT LIGHT PROJECTOR, a very strange gadget. According to the company it’s a dog light for pets, with multi-angle adjustment, HDR high-transmittance, professional lens, soft lighting, and a cute photo projection of a dog. It comes with 10 projection slides. With one hour of charging, this personalized dog collars light has a battery life of up to 8 hours. This dog night light is equipped with 500mAh battery. It says: “Type-C cable”, but my unit had a micro-USB port and cable. The dog collar light comes with a detachable clip and a adjustable silicone strip for fitting different pet collars, leashes or harnesses. It wasn’t easy to put on our dog Charlie, but it’s cold out and Charlie had his heavy dog coat on. BUT while Charlie was wearing this light, 3 out of 4 people walking their dogs commented on how cute it was! You’ll see this weird gadget in use in Riverside Park, NYC.

When I saw a Kids-Camcorder Digital Video Camera as ‘deal of the day’ for $13, I figured ‘hey, that sounds like a good deal. The kids camcorder has 4 functions, video, photo, voice recording and games. It comes with 15 lovely frames, 6 different filters and 3 special effects, 5 puzzle kids games. It’s said to offer a 2.4 inch screen video resolution of 1080P, plus up to 12M JPEG image resolution. The kids DV is a best gifts for kids age 3-10 .This camcorder for kids allows children to discover more beautiful and interesting world with their eyes. and record their happy moments with the mini digital camera. But wait, there’s more! Included is a 32GB Memory Card, USB cable, small bag. USB manual, mini lanyard, some stickers. It is very easy to use for the age 3-10 children. The price dropped to under $10 on 12/22/23, How did it work? It pretty much didn’t! The one I bought stopped working after about 1 minute of use! That makes all of the features worthless.

Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for December. And that winning theme is “Cheap New Year’s Resolution Gadgets!

Chad’s third gadget is the Curad Performance Series Ironman Antibacterial Bandages.

If your new year’s resolution is to workout harder, or run longer, you just might like to have these bandages on hand. They feature Extreme Hold adhesive technology, which means that the bandages stay on firmly until you take them off. They’re designed for outstanding heavy-duty protection for sports and active lifestyles. It has a larger antibacterial non-stick pad. And they come in a nice variety of sizes and shapes. You see a nice demo by Chad on this week’s show. They’re inexpensive too with a variety pack of 50 bandages selling for under $7.00.

Hi Dick & Chad:

This gadget, though not exciting, has solved a problem. We found cinder bricks above our fireplace when remodeling. The heavy frame and needlepoint made for my wife has never been hung because we can’t put in anchors. We expected to hear a crash in the middle of the night but this little thing held.

Email of the week:

Happy Christmas! Just wanted to provide the above link on AKC Reunite. I used this service for my cats when they are microchipped. It is only $19.50 for lifetime of your pet, and you can update the information at any time with no additional charge. Here is the info about AKC Reunite:

 As the nation’s largest non-profit pet microchip and recovery service, our mission is to keep pet microchipping and enrollment affordable, with no annual fees, so more lost pets can find their way home.  

Since 1995 our microchips, collar tags and 24/7/365 recovery experts have helped reunite over 600,000 lost pets with their owners. Over 10 million pets (35+ different species!) are enrolled with AKC Reunite. It is our mission to provide quality products and services that ultimately protect and reunite pets with their owners and prevent pets from populating our nation’s shelters. 

As a 501c3, we have given back over $14 million to support working K9s and pet disaster relief efforts. https://www.akcreunite.org/

 I do like the Ring pet tag that that shown in Episode 1965, but I would have that as supplemental to the microchip. If you do any international travel, microchip is mandatory so when I moved from Oregon to Ireland, my cat Hank was microchipped and I updated his info on AKC Reunite website. Air Canada also bumped Hank and his servant (my significant other) to first class (called “business class” on Air Canada) and the microchipped help to properly (and legally) identify him. I, on the other hand, ended up in the boot (aka economy class near the lavatory at the tail) – I was prohibited from going into first class and had to pass notes via the flight attendants to “talk” to my significant other. I can honestly say Hank loved being in first class.

Thanks for producing the GizWiz and I look forward to it weekly from Ireland. – George F
