The Giz Wiz and OMZchad pick their favorite off-beat gadgets websites.


The Giz Wiz's favorite Off-Beat Gadget Website Pick is a UK based website (but you can find their stuff on Amazon too) It's http://www.suck.uk.com/ and here's a good example from their website of something unique they sell:
If you’re cooking alfresco, get the right tool for the job. A BBQ that looks like a classic metal toolbox. Folds up with a convenient carrying handle for easy transportation to the park or beach. Unfolds to reveal a warming rack and storage tray for your extra hot chilli sauce. A whopping 8x15” stainless steel grill area. Removable fuel tray for your charcoal, and adjustable vent to control the flow of oxygen over the hot coals. Made from steel and coated in super high temperature red paint. This summer get outside, down tools and fire up the barbecue toolbox, not all tools of the trade stay in the kitchen. A great gift for outdoorsy types.
A hot design from SUCK UK. Just be sure to pick up the right metal box from the garage, you'll look like a right numpty trying to set fire to a box of spanners.
Giz Wiz: It is expensive at $120.00 US. (I don't see it on Amazon as of 6/15/16)

Instead of Chad's Crappy Corner for this special Giz Wiz Show, Chad picked his favorite off-beat gadget website. And surprise, Chad's website pick turns out to also be a UK based website too! It's http://www.firebox.com/
Right off the bat I found something I like on firebox. Here's the info on it from their website:
In a world where everyone just downloads movies off the internet, how are you supposed to show off your eclectic film tastes? The Desktop Cinema Light Box, that's how. Ditch the ever-present Ikea desk lamp and swap it for something that tells the world you're a bonafide film buff (or just someone who loves stylish ambient lighting). This diminutive retro billboard comes with 69 interchangeable acetate letters, symbols and numbers so you can show off your distinguished movie tastes or put a motivational quote up in lights. With three rows of letters there's ample room to play with.
Back to the Giz Wiz: The price is in pounds on the web, 14.99 pounds which is roughly $22 US. But when Chad checked, the shipping was $25. If you added more items the shipping only went up by a few bucks.
I searched Amazon and found one that looks very similar. If you add $22 + $25 shipping for the Firebox one, the one one Amazon is about the same price, but it adds the ability to power it as a battery operated device + AC, or battery operated + USB power adapter port. The Firebox one just specified battery operation only.
This item is no longer on Amazon.
