    Giz Wiz Show 1759 Show of Dec 26th, 2019 Independent Show #241

    Wow! The Giz Wiz Show is in year 13 overall & our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: www.gizwiz.tv.

    And now on with the show! 

    It's the Aduro Phone Neck Holder Phone Mount to make your smart phone (up to 7") Hands Free. About a year ago I did a “prank box” gadget called Tech Neck, a way to wear your phone around your neck. But a Prank Box is an empty box showing a silly gadget that doesn't exist. You put your real gift inside. But recently I found The Aduro Lazy Phone Holder which pretty much does the same thing, but is for real! It's compatible with smartphone sizes up to 7", even with a case on it according to the company. My LG G6 with case fit fine with room to spare. This device holds the phone at an optimal viewing angle you set and it offers 360-degree rotation. I think it looks a bit goofy, but on an airplane or in bed I think it will work fine. You can wear it or even use it as a phone desk stand. Aduro adds: We made the Aduro neck cell phone mount with high-quality alloy, rugged ABS plastic and anti-skid shockproof breathable foam which makes your neck feel comfortable while giving you the best viewing experience. $10.99 in colors, black was just $9.99. All prices as of 12/21/19 and can change at any time.

    The Tech Neck Prank Box is no longer available, but I think this one is funnier:

    Prank Pack | Wrap Your Real Holiday Gift in a Prank Funny Gag Joke Gift Box - by Prank-O - The Original Prank Gift Box | Awesome Novelty Gift Box for Any Adult or Kid! (Hayneedle)

     

    PRANK GIFT BOXES at first appear to contain bizarre products from ridiculous companies. Simply put your real present inside the joke box and try to keep a straight face as you watch your friends and loved ones attempt to remain gracious while thanking you for the "GIFT". Then watch them explode with laughter when they discover their actual stuff inside and realize they have been pranked. $7.,99.

     

    Amazon link: (Remember you're buying an empty box for $7.99, but the photography and fake box copy is very well done. You put your real gift inside. Amazon gives dimensions as 11.25" X 9" X 3.25".
