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.

A Fun Holiday Sweater Depending On The Size Of Your Smartphone.
When I saw this “fireplace” sweater online I thought I have to buy one, and I did. It’s the Digital Dudz Morph Men’s Fireplace Ugly Christmas Sweater. I don’t know why they call it an ugly Christmas sweater because I think it looks fairly decent, except maybe if you buy the pink version. It’s what you can do with it that makes it so much fun. The company says you download the free Digital Dudz app onto your smartphone, find the Crackling Fireplace animation and then slide the phone into the front-loading pocket. I found two problems. The biggest is that the smartphone pocket is small, about 3″ X 5 1/2″. The only phone I own that fit in it is my old Galaxy S5. Also the app constantly crashes. Many reviews online had the same problem. But it’s easy to get a fireplace video on Youtube. With the small smartphone installed, the sweater looks great. It’s a real attention getting. Chad was going to order one instantly until he realized all his phones are too big for the sweater pocket, which I think will be a problem for many geeks who didn’t hold on to one of their older, smaller smartphones. It’s $25 to $30.00 on Amazon, depending on if it’s on sale or not.Giz Wiz Video: https://youtu.be/EqSe50_v6f8
