I think I found a difficult “What The Heck Is It?”

It was pretty hard to guess that what looked like a vase is really a Wireless Vase Doorbell Kit. The object is, if you need a simple push button door bell, why do you need to hang a box with speaker and the works on the wall. Hide them all is a weathered wood accent vase! Requires 6 “AA” batteries (Not included). Range is said to be up to 250 ft. It did very well in the limited testing I did. Great sound and adjustable Volume. One wireless push button included, and that has it’s own battery installed. 10 Selectable Tunes. Max sound 85 decibels. I bought mind on Pulse TV for $14.99, plus $6.99 shipping.

Judging from the chatroom and Chad’s reaction to these blocks, I guess I’m one of the few people on earth who never knew about or played Janga. Turns out these blocks are to be used for playing a similar game. As Five Below puts it: The Tower Tumble Game is perfect for game night or any party! Test your skills & have fun – can you pull out a block without toppling the tower? I guess it’s a bit like all-time classic wooden tower game. Stack up the blocks & remove them one piece at a time – but don’t make the tower tumble! Great looking wood blocks I intend to use on my outdoor trains as supports. And the box of 48 wooden blocks was just $5.00.

On The Giz Wiz we’ve done many laser projectors, but this one is designed for kids, so it is not a laser projector. The Beslike Dinosaur Projector Night Light uses LED lights to create a colorful dinosaur display on the walls and ceiling. It features 14tunes and soothing white noises, including ocean waves, birdsong, etc. Strangely, both controlled with the same button. It also emits a scary dinosaur sound as it moves. The included USB-C cable is not for charging, but for using the Dino Projector without batteries. For the Dino to run around the floor, you’ll need 3 AA batteries (not included). It can run around the floor with the USB-C cable, but that will really make it not move far. It got decent rating on Amazon and Chad & the chatroom thought this was quite unique. I think kids will really love playing with it. It was under $30 on Amazon.

It’s October, and Chad’s October Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons, is Cheap Halloween Gadgets!

Chad’s 2^nd Cheap Halloween Gadget is Mr. Jack O Lantern.

Here’s what Walmart says about it. Mr. Jack O Lantern is a rechargeable animated pumpkin with 5 expressions that change automatically. He comes with 5 Halloween-themed tunes. Choose the tune you like with a press of a button. Each tune lasts 30-40 seconds. Let’s celebrate Halloween with Scary, Eerie, Buffy, Ghostly, and Goofy expressions! Recommended for indoor use or covered porch. Rechargeable via USB cable (included).

And Chad’s take: Chad was not impressed. We all were baffled as to why you can’t select one pumpkin face you may like. But you can’t, it cycles continuously through all five of them. And the price is not right. It was $30 where most people thought it might cost half that, or better yet be $5 at Five Below. You’ll see Mr. Jack O Lantern working on this week’s show!

Hi Dick and Chad,

Here’s a video of something related to the show.  It goes back a while, so at one point I offer you the chance to pause the video to guess what its connection with the show is.

Email of the week: is from

Last week on the Giz Wiz, Dick and Chad showed a video of prop or stage money.  I would like to point out that an ultra-violet or UV flashlights can detect fake bills and shown in the video.  UV flashlights are inexpensive.  Amazon has this pair of UV flashlights for less than $9:

“Consciot 2 Pack UV Flashlight”

UV can detect body fluids (as in CSI), pet stains, counterfeit currency, and, oddly enough, scorpions.  If you want your toilet sparking clean then a UV light is the cat’s meow.

-All the best, Buddy Yates

Watch this week’s show to learn more about UV flashlight and what to look for when buying one. There are dozen of choices on Amazon.

From the Giz Wiz: When I checked Amazon, the price for two Consciot UV flashlights was $14.99 at the link below. But, from what Chad learned about these is, the more blacklight LED’s, the better.
