AMAZING! We’ve in year 18 of The Giz Wiz Show!

The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006! If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we have zero ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page. There’s a Paypal link there too. Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.

This week we stopped by The Time To Play Magazine Press Event. Here are fun toys and a new non-toy helpful gadget we saw at the show.

Was There Any Barbie Stuff At The Show?

Yes, plenty! — The Barbie Dreamhouse 2023 offers 360-degree play for endless fun! This updated version of the iconic doll house features 75+ storytelling pieces. Barbie can host the pool party with her home’s spectacular three-story spiral slide. Watch as Barbie doll and her friends swirl down the slide into the pool! Dolls not included. This doll house doubles as a veritable pet palace, and even includes a puppy figure! Furry friends will have a blast with the pet elevator, pet slide and pool, pet bed, doggie door and pet house. Ten different play areas: a kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, closet, bonus room, balcony, pool and the biggest slide yet. There are integrated lights and sounds in the kitchen and bathroom. When kids ages 3 years old and up “step inside” the Barbie Dreamhouse playset, they’ll never run out of stories to tell! MSRP: $199.99, but it is selling for less online. Be aware the box cover, in small print says: Barbie Dolls, Car & Wheelchair, not included.

It’s from Wonder and Wise Creative Toys that are designed to let kids use their imitations as they play. You’ll see many examples on this week’s show, but here I’ll just talk about my favorite! Being a long-time boater, The Gone Fishing Boat is great for kids, zero to 6 I believe the spokesperson told me! It’s a fun canvas boat which includes a plush motor, wooden oar and plush life preserver for playing “man overboard”. The boat is easy to sit in, with a soft poly filled bottom that is cushy for the tushy! They also have a Gone Fishing Accessories Set to make it a fishing adventure. Simple assembly. I noticed the prices the spokesperson gives in the video we shoot at the show were lower than the one I see online. I suspect she thought Dennis and I were toy store owners and she was giving discount prices.

Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for September. That winning theme is Cheap Gadgets To Use In A Hotel.

Chad’s 3rd Cheap Hotel Gadget is the Victoper LED Neck Reading Light,

From Amazon: Stepless Dimming & 3 Colors – This reading light for bed has three color temperature modes: cold white, warm yellow, and warm white. Each head has an independent induction switch that allows you to adjust the color mode. Built-in 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery that provides 7-13 hours of wireless reading time (the lowest brightness light can be used for up to 80 hours!). It comes with a standard micro-USB cable for easy charging. Flexible arms covered with premium soft silicone, this neck light can be bent and folded into any shape. Weighing only 3.6 ounces, this bendable book light doesn’t take up much space and can fit easily into your carry-on suitcase. MSRP: $10.49.

And Chad’s take? Chad liked this a lot! Not only can switch between bright white and soft white light you can brighten and dim the side of the neck light independently. And it was under $11.00 on Amazon. Only drawback, NOT USB-C charging.

Our email this week is from long time Giz Wiz fan Adam Jakowenko, who emails us:

Hey Dick and Chad,

I’ve long been on the lookout for a gadget to hide some cash around my house, but never thought any of those fake products looked very realistic, so went on the hunt for something simple. I found this on Ali Express and it does exactly what I was looking for. Thought I’d share. Below is a video as well as link to the one I bought. Love the show!

A loyal Patreon supporter,

-Adam
