Danny New & I Talk About “Not Your Typical Holiday Gifts” on World News Now!
The Pen/Screen Stylus That’s Also A Fidget Toy!
Ok, it seems fidgets toys are evidently not dead. The Fidget Pen is not only a pen, a screen stylus, but also a toy for folks who like to fidget. It’s a cool gadget for anyone who needs a break from the daily grind. The company says the magnetic blocks are made of the latest magnetic material, non-toxic and free of BPA, phthalates and latex. Strong magnets are sealed inside and the rounded edges make this magnetic playset safe for even kids. Helps release stress and anxiety, boredom or use it simply to pass the time. These are also great for kids with ADD or ADHD and people with OCD or high stress/anxiety levels. Under $18.00

I Think Kids Will Love the Slightly Weird Face Bank.
A Face Bank?? No, you don’t save face, you use it to save coins in a face! This is a unique piggy bank that could help your kids save money, but also provide some fun! Be aware it can also seem creepy as some people in our chatroom mentioned when they saw they bank working. Watch this week’s show to see it in action and make up your own mind. The Face Bank opens its mouth automatically once you reach your hand to feed it a coin. Fits almost every type of standard coin – Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, Pennies and more. The action is sometimes a bit klunky. Requires two (2) AA batteries. (Not included.) And the space under the bank where the money goes can easily slide open, so kids can get the coins out to reuse if they want. I paid $17 on Amazon. Over at AliExpress it was selling for a lot less, but it will take a couple of weeks to get it. Just search for ‘face bank’.

A Gift I Doubt Most People Don’t Own Already.
Yes, my Gizneyland studio has a lot of disco lights, but damn, no disco fountain! Until now. This Five Below LED Disco Water Fountain is very easy to set up. Just add water +2 AA batteries which are not included. The Disco Mirrored Color Changing LED Fountain is small, 6.3 in x 4.5 in, but is great for a desk, tabletop or on a bar, or shelf. It even comes with ‘real river rocks’ which adds to the look of this mini-fountain. It’s for indoor use only and for $5.55, I think it would make a great unusual gadget. Not many people are going to say: “Oh, I already have an LED Disco Fountain!”

Meet The Tikduck Flying Orb Ball
These flying balls are big this holiday season. The company says their Tikduck flying orb ball features a gyroscope and smart AI chip that promises intelligent flight. Different throwing angles and speeds will create different flight lines and boomerang effect. Made of high-grade ABS material, which is lightweight and flexible, making it able to withstand countless crashes. The propellers are safely concealed within the ball drone. USB Rechargeable: Micro USB connector for 25 minutes to fully charge. Flying time: 8 to 10 minutes. MSRP: $32.99.
From The Giz Wiz: These are great fun, but the secret word is PRACTICE! Pretty much most reviews says it can do wonderful things, if you practice. And it seems like the same flying orb is available under many different brand names.
