An inexpensive, but very useful backpack!

Here's a backpack with a couple of unique features, that is also incredibly inexpensive. That's why it's on the "Best of the year" show. We received many emails from people who bought it, and found it very useful. It's the Inateck Laptop Backpack. It's good-looking and the company says it's made from waterproof, scratch-resistant, anti-tear special nylon fabric. It's also the first backpack I've seen with slip-on waterproof cover. It's like a elastic slip-on raincoat for your backpack and it's included in the price. Also unique is an external USB Port; slide your power bank into the backpack and plug it in; now you can charge devices with the backpack closed. A luggage belt at the back lets your backpack slip over the extending handle on your rolling luggage. Side pockets hold personal belongings like a water bottle or umbrella. And a padded compartment holds up to 15.6 inch laptop. UPDATE! 1/12/18 Amazon says this backpack is now only available from a 3rd party seller. It's $86! It's $59.95 on the company website.

The ExcelMark is an inked roller stamp for those who don't have, or don't want to buy a shredder, but still need to get rid of sensitive papers. This device has a special pattern on a convenient rolling design which quickly hides addresses, social security numbers, account numbers, ID numbers, etc. And it can do a few things a shredder can't do, like cover private info on prescription bottle labels. The 1.5” wide roller holds the ink inside, so there's no need for a separate, often messy ink pad. I've used it several times and found that the ink quickly dries as you roll it. It works well on all regular paper, envelopes and package addresses. The company says the ink inside has a total length of stamp coverage that can reach 100 meters, which is about 328 feet. You get the ExcelMark with 3 refills for $12.99 on Amazon as of 1/7/17. (Remember that Amazon prices can change at any moment.)

For a Halloween gadget Chad found something clever from the Hyde and Eek! Boutique. (Clever name, that!) It's the Halloween Spooky Voice Microphone from Hyde and Eek! Boutique™. This microphone has a great antique look and you don't expect to find that it's a voice recording and voice changer. 

Chad liked this gadget a lot. (I bought one after I saw Chad's.) Chad said the electronic voice changer works very well. But as Chad points out, it's not instantaneous. You say something short – about 15 seconds - and then the built-in voice changer says it back with a scary voice. (A red recording light lets you know you're recording.) It's battery operated and the only weird thing about it is that the “Try Me” demo button is actually built into the unit and cannot be removed! Chad's thinks this a great gadget for just $15 at Target. The bad news is it's no longer available. It must have been a one-time Halloween device. Maybe this October it will come back.
