Here Are My 5 Favorite Gadgets of 2021. (Some of them are Will Ganss’ Favorite & yours too!)
SLICE! It Cuts Cardboard & Soft Plastic Packaging, But It Didn’t Cut My Skin. (I tried it so you don’t have to!)I’m leary of metal boxcutters because they can be very dangerous. That’s why I wanted to buy and try the Slice Carton Cutter. I think this is pretty neat. It looks good, and it’s so much safer than using one of those fearful box cutters. You’ll see me try it on several packages in my video, but first here’s what the company says about it: Slice safety blade’s unique cutting edge might seem dull, but it cuts right through your material while keeping you safe! Other blades are dangerously sharp. Slice blades start at a safe and effective sharpness and stay there 11 times longer. With a metal sheath and a reinforced nylon handle, this durable tool stands up to industrial use. Ideal for cutting boxboard, cardboard, tape, clamshell and flexible plastics. Ships with a 10526 rounded-tip reversible utility blade. Each side lasts up to 11 times longer than a comparable steel edge. I was impressed at how well it works. Under $10.00

Don’t you hate it when you can’t get all the contents out of a lotion or condiment Bottle?
Then you should know about the Flip-It Bottle Emptying Kit. The company says: It Gets Every Drop Out of Lotions, Shampoos, Conditioners & Condiments. According to Consumer Reports, up to 25 percent of household products are wasted because people can’t get them out of the bottles. So if you’re tired of struggling to get thick liquids out of the bottle … or throwing away product you’ve paid for but can’t get to use, there’s a solution. The Flip-It it bottle emptying kit bottle cap offers zero waste. And it can help reduce the number of bottles going into landfills and reducing pollution caused by oozing discarded waste. Save money by getting every drop of product you paid for. Fits Most Standard Bottles. Each kit comes with four bottle thread adapters that fit the most common sized bottles! Reusable — Simply hand wash or top-rack dishwasher and use again and again. Food grade safe and BPA Free. This is working well for me. I use it on a bottle of body lotion and a bottle of honey.

Meet One Of My Newest Fans…
I bought the Figrol Neckfan fan during a really bad heat wave in June 2021 in NYC. Day after day of 90+ degree weather and high humidity. Air conditioning in my apartment and Gizneyland studio kept me comfortable inside, but I needed something for the outdoors. A quick check of Amazon and I found “neck fans”! The Giz Wiz covered mini fans you wore around your neck a couple of years ago, but these look way more sleek. They’re sometimes called ‘bladeless fans’ because you don’t see any moving part; everything is the built into the case. The Figrol has a 2400 mAh rechargeable battery and charges via USB-C. It has 3 speeds and does a fairly decent job of keeping you cool. It also has decent styling and almost looks like a headphones around your neck when your wearing it.

Love The AeroPress? – Here’s The AeroPress Go – A Compact Coffee Maker For Travel.
Popular with coffee enthusiasts worldwide, including the Giz Wiz, is the AeroPress Go coffee maker. It use a fast brewing process (similar to French Press) to make a smooth, full flavored cup of coffee. With the AeroPress & the newer AeroPress Go paper Micro-filter, there’s no grit in your cup and clean up takes seconds. Plus, you get 350 filters in the box with the Go! Also with the “Go”, the company says you can make 1 to 3 cups of American coffee per pressing in about a minute. Cold brew coffee per pressing in about two minutes and it can brew espresso style coffee for use in lattes & cappuccinos. You’ll see in the video how compact it is, with everything needed fitting in the mug you brew into and drink from. In hotels you can make hot hot water with one of those portable travel immersion water heater devices, or brew a really nice cold brew coffee when you have no access to water. When packed up, the AeroPress Go is great when traveling, camping, boating or otherwise on the go. It’s about $32.00.

Most Versatile Charge Cable I’ve Seen So Far!
The inCharge 6 – or as Amazon calls it: The Six-in-One Swiss Army Knife of Cables, Portable Keyring Compatible with Apple iPhone/USB/USB-C/Micro USB Cable for All of Your Devices. This cable is short, about 2”. The whole device ready to charge is about 5”. But it’s versatile. You get USB to USB-C, USB to combo Lightning/Micro USB, USB-C to USB-C & USB-C to dual Lightning/Micro USB. The device is very lightweight and easy to use once you master the ‘hidden’ connectors. With built-in magnets the heads snap together to hang on your keyring, backpack, etc. The company says you can sync and charge simultaneously. And this I haven’t seen before. This cable supports power transfer from one USB-C smartphone to another which doesn’t have to be USB-C, as you’ll see in my video. It can also charge from one USB-C smartphone to another type of portable device. So you can give a charge to a phone running out of juice, or charge earbuds, etc. It was under $20 on Amazon on 12/27/21, but that price can change at any time.
