The Pilot Frixion, the erasable ballpoint pen!
I never knew there was an ‘erasable ballpoint pen’! But there were a lot of Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens at the New Products Show. I tried one and was impressed with the way they work. Here’s some more info from the company, including how they work: FriXion is the first erasable fine point marker pen. Its unique thermo-sensitive ink formula lets you erase and rewrite repeatedly with ease without ruining the page. The FriXion gel ink pen writes smooth & erases clean. (I was amazed at how it erases and there are no shavings to dust away.) Frixion is the 1st and only pen authenticated by the nation’s leading STEM accreditation and education organization. Over at Amazon you’ll find a huge assortment of styles in the FriXion line. Prices vary widely depending on the number pens you want, the style, etc. But here’s a link to a wide variety of Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens:

The Gadget & Gizmo Gift Ideas I Shared With Will Ganss on World News Now.
The Giz Wiz with Unique Holiday Gift Ideas probably no one but the Giz Wiz would think of!
The Monkey Game for Kids, Teens, and Tipsy Adults (According to the company!) Here’s more from them:
Bananas is the smash-hit party game that will have your friends and family howling from the moment you strap on a monkey tail to your last squat. Split into two teams, warm up those thighs, and whoever collects the most bananas wins! Easy … or is it? Bananas have gone viral on TikTok multiple times, with over 50 MILLION views! Gameplay is super easy to follow (perfect for monkeys with short attention spans) but hard to master, making it the perfect addition to your card and board game collection. As you’ll see in my video, even though I’m alone trying to catch a target, it looks pretty funny! About $22 to $23 as of 12/4/22
In the photo — that’s one of the included ‘monkey tails’ hanging down. Get the picture? 🙂

Have One Or More Fidgeters On Your Gift List?
When I saw the 28 Pack Sensory Fidget Toys Set for under $10, I had to buy one. After all it includes: Liquid Motion Timer/Grape Ball/Flippy Chain/Stretchy String/Squeeze-a-Bean Soybeans/Slime/Mesh & Marble/Mochi Squishy, good for ADHD, Stress, Anxiety Relief for both Adult & Kids according to the description. I bought & I wasn’t disappointed. Here’s what the company said was in the box and the lists right after unboxing mine. You’ll see them all on this week’s show. PACKAGE INCLUDES – 1 * Snake Cube Twist Puzzles, 1 * New Fidget Pad, 1 * Basketball Foam Ball, 1 * Football Foam Ball, 1 * Flippy Chain, 1 * Liquid Motion Timer, 2 * Wacky Tracks, 2 * Grape Ball, 2 * Squeeze-a-Bean Soybeans, 3 * Mesh and Marble, 3 * Puzzle Balls, 4 * Mochi Squishy Toy, 6 * Stretchy Strings.
Sensory toys can relieve anxiety and also would make great prizes or even stocking stuffers. It’s an amazing amount of stuff for under $10.00. Actually, when we recorded this week’s show they were just $7.99 for the full box of fidget toys! Was $6.99 when we recorded my spot for World News Now on 12/4/22, but I don’t know how long that price will last.

Bring Life & Light To The Party!
Just in time for holiday parties, or parties any time of the year, it’s the Luditek [2-Pack] Portable Party Lights! They have a sound-activated mode + they can be battery operated, or powered by 5V USB. The disco ball light is mixed with multicolor.(red, green, blue, red/green, red/blue, green/blue, and all the colors together. These LED disco lights are great! Since you can power them via 3 AA batteries, it’s easy to use them any place, even bring them to a party. And Amazon adds: You can put this led stage lighting on your desk, or use suction cup to hold it on the wall or ceiling. I finally found how to reveal the hidden suction cup in the base, but I don’t know how well they’ll stick to a wall. But that’s okay, the adjustable stands work just fine! They come with 2 remote controls, but either remote can control both lights. They also come with two USB cables so you can plug them into a computer or external battery pack for power. They were under $20 as of 12/4/22.

Flame Diffuser & Humidifier. Huh?
(I love this very unique gift.) The combination of LED lights and humidifier mist produces a wonderful faux flame effect. The water tank capacity of 240ml can work continuously for more than 18 hours according to the company and you can use it for aroma therapy with a few drops of your favorite essential oil. You can set it to go off after 2 or 4 hours timer with buttons on the front of the machine – or let the water run out and the flame diffuser/humidifier will automatically stop. I find this very relaxing to look at. If you find the illuminated logo on the front of the machine too bright, just face that toward the wall. I paid $22.99 on Amazon. (I bought two. Yes, I like these a lot.)
