It May Be Cold Now Where You Live, But Keep This In Mind For When It Turns Hot Again!
It’s not a swimming pool, but something the company calls a splash or sprinkler play mat. I purchased the QPAU Sprinkler Play Mat on Amazon. Kids love to play with water, especially during the hot weather, so this an easy way to let them do that. This 68″ Splash Play Mat inflates and sprays water when connected to a garden hose. (No air pump needed.) It’s designed to be placed on lawns so it’s soft underneath for kid’s play. The spray can be adjusted by the water pressure feeding the hose. It’s great for hot weather fun for young kids age 3 to 5 (& up!). No where does the company mention how thick the PVC for the splash pad is, but online review mention, probably not rugged enough for dogs to play in. MSRP: $29.99, but it is usually selling for under $20 online.

An LED Bulb You Can Bounce Off The Floor Without Harming It.
First a word about the 1stLED bulb I ever heard about. It was the GeoBulb, released on March 27, 2009 by ccrane. It was the first 60-watt direct replacement that used less than 8 watts. BUT, the cost!! The GeoBulb LED light bulb was available from C. Crane for $119.95 for one, or for $113.95 each for orders of six or more. Okay, now comes the latest LED bulb I’ve seen, the Incredi-Bulb! It’s the first bulb you can throw on the floor and watch it bounce! You can even crush the bulb part in your hand and watch it slowly pop back into shape. It feels like it’s rubber but I’m not sure what it’s made of. It’s available in 40 & 60 watt equivalents. And the cost? About $5 & $6 each in the 2 packs, depending on the wattage. I found this at the 2020 Inspired Home Press Event in NYC. When I told the person at the Butterie booth, “The Butter Dish Reinvented” that I really was looking for more tech-like gadgets, she showed me this new light bulb and told me she had just secured the exclusive right to distribute it in the US. And now it is available on the company website. (I have no affiliation with this company.)
Unique Holiday Gift Ideas I Showed On World News Now.
About five years ago we talked about an LED Beanie, great for the cold weather. But now I bought a newer version that’s rechargeable! So it’s not only a warm Winter beanie hat, but also a hands free LED flashlight to light your way at night. This can be a great outdoor utility light for dog walking, camping, running, pretty much any place you want a hands-free light. It’s a one size fits all, or I guess, one size fits most. It’s available in many colors, ideal for men or women. The LED light in this acrylic knit hat with is both removable and rechargeable. The company says it can light the distance up to 30 feet away. The built-in 4 SMD LED light provides 120 Lumens and up to 4 hours of continuous use or 68 hours of intermittent use. There are three brightness settings. The first push is full bright, then medium, then low light. Remove the light to charge it from any USB port, car charger or portable power bank. Available in many colors. Best of all, it’s usually under $14. (It was under $12 when I posted this on 12/7/20, but the price seems to change daily. Click the Amazon link to find the latest price. There many companies selling what look likes the same LED beanie on Amazon, so you can check those too.

Forget Those Dull Blue Masks Millions Are Wearing, Design & Print Your Own.
When I got an email asking if I would like to have a mask with an image of my mustache on it, I thought that sounded great. I expected them to ask for a photo, but about a week later, such a mask showed up in the mail. (You’ll see it on this week’s show.) It turns out you make your custom masks at home with the SnapStyle Printable Masks Kit, which just launched on Amazon and Walmart. Here’s how the company describes the kit: With fabric-printing technology, you can replicate almost ANY picture, pattern, or other artwork directly onto a 100% cotton protective mask using just your mobile device – no sewing required. The kit includes everything needed to make several masks, which can be sized to fit children and adults. SnapStyle has been rigorously designed and tested to meet WHO guidelines for barrier masks and AFNOR guidance on 
filtration and breathability. People can create unique custom face masks that celebrate a beloved team, coordinate with a favorite outfit, or even replicate their face! —- I also like that the app allows you to virtually see what the mask you designed will look like on your face before you print it. On this show you’ll also see me unpack a kit so you can how thorough and complicated these masks are. But I think people into social media will love making them and it will kids busy for a hour or so. Along with the kit you need an iron, scissors and of course, an inkjet printer. A kit of 2 is about $16.00 but it’s way cheaper to buy the kit for 4 masks which is only $2 more – $17.99.Amazon link: https://amzn.to/33PKkHz – As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases.
