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.)

Here’s An 18-in-1 Multi-tool small enough for travel.
Snowflake Multi Tool Under $15/2. Yes, it looks like a snow flake ornament, but it’s made of stainless steel and look closely and you’ll see it’s an 18-in-1 Multi-tool with screwdrivers, hex drivers, nut tighteners, string cutter, even a bottle opener. And hangers for key chain, the shop wall, kitchen hook, etc. The 2 pack comes in a box with a ‘gift box’ look. You can also buy single Snowflakes Multi Tools. I bought mine on Amazon for $13.98, but as of 12/4/22 there was a 20% off coupon there. That could disappear at any time.

On World News Now, With Co-host Rhiannon, I Demo Some ‘Useful Gadgets You May Not Know About .
Once the spot airs I’ll post a link here.
While browsing Amazon for gadgets I found the Master Lock Magnification Combination Lock. Wow, a combination lock with big, easy-to-see numbers! Here’s some info from the company: The Master Lock Magnification Combination Lock eliminates the hassle of wearing glasses at the gym or pool and the frustration of entering your combination multiple times due to miss dialing. The unique lens design offers high contrast numbers, 360° of magnification, and obscured visibility to onlookers. With the traditional rotary dial functionality, an easy to grip soft-touch dial ring and tactile dial feedback at each number, precise dialing is assured.
From the Giz Wiz: I do like the big black numbers on a white background and the magnification lens. And as you turn the dial every number has a click, making it easy not to over-shoot the number you want. But you should be aware that you can’t set your combination, you have to use the one assigned to the lock. That combination is on the back of the lock with an easy-to-remove label. I texted the folks at Master Lock asking how many different combination are there. They are said there about 6500 combinations available. The lock comes in colors, but strangely you have to accept the one they ship. It was under $11 on 10/16/22.
