Up first is my final gadget from the LIVE Pepcom Holiday Spectacular.

Normally I shy away from doing baby monitors because they all basically seem to do the same thing. The one I saw at Pepcom has more features, including the first baby monitor I've seen with dual cameras. Here's some info from the company condensed by the Giz Wiz. The Nursery Pal Dual Vision is a smart, high-definition baby monitor that features dual cameras, allowing for normal and wide-angle views from the same device. From the included handheld parents unit you can adjust either camera. The close-up camera offers remote pan, tilt, and zoom, making it easier than ever to keep an eye on your baby. As your baby sleeps the device analyzes sleep patterns and creates reports for you to view. Also available are preloaded nature sounds, lullabies, and audiobooks. There's also two-way talk. You can even track the nursery room temperature with the touch of a button. MSRP $229.00. It ships with a free app, but an app with even more features is available for $49.99 a year. The Dual Vision system should be available by the end of this, November 2021.

The 1st What The Heck Is It? On This Week's Show.

It's the NightCap Scrunchie is a dual functional scrunchie that can be used to cover most cups and glasses to prevent pills and powders from being dropped into a drink. It was invented by a girl in college to protect again someone attempting date rape by using drugs. How it Works. Simply wear the NightCap on wrist or in your hair until needed. When ready, pull drink cover out of hidden scrunchie pocket, place over drink, pop in a straw and enjoy! The cover is made of nylon/spandex allowing it to stretch to fit most cups & glasses. This drink cover also keeps bugs, debris and other particles out of your drink, great for outdoor dining. Her and her brother brought this to market and went to Shark Tank with it. They secured $60,000 from Lori there who invested the money for a 25% share of their company.

A Helpful Gadget When Decorating The House For The Holidays.

Meet the AIEVE Brick Wall Clips - for Hanging Outdoor Decorations. If your home has a brick wall, or even a brick fireplace you can use these clips for hanging decorations like wreaths, lights, stockings, picture frames, craft items and more. They're made from tempered spring steel, durable these 'no damage' wall hangers can hold up to 25 pounds. You'll see in the video that you do a bit of the brick exposed with no concrete or coating. They install easily and are easy to remove. You don't use nails or need to drill holes in the brick wall. Just place the spring edge of picture hangers at the base of the brick, and then push the clip upward until the upper teeth of the clip grip the top of the brick. (It would be nice it these instructions were in or on the box the clips come in.) The hooks fit most standard bricks that measure 2-1/8 inch to 2-1/3 inch height. I paid $13.99 for a box of 10, so they're about $1.40 each.

For his November theme Chad polled our loyal Patreon's and they picked “Cheap Travel Gadgets.

Chad's third cheap travel gadget is the Life Essentials Two Pack Travel Kit. The kit includes 2 airplane seat covers and tray covers for your safety while air traveling. Here's a bit of info from the company: Don’t just wash and sanitize your hands, but create a barrier for your utmost protection from the dirty seat and tray table with the two disposable airplane seat covers and two tray covers. You should be aware that airplane seats and trays are considered the most unsanitary places on the plane. Protect yourself in the cleanest, most convenient way, with the Life Essential Seat/Tray Covers. They can also be used for Car seats, Buses and trains, Movie theaters, even The beauty salon.

And Chad's take: Chad took them on an airplane trip he made but found with people crowding the aisles and putting luggage in overhead compartments, it could be a task to place one on your seat. Also he was lucky enough to be upgraded to first class on several of his flights and these covers are more designed for coach seats. Also, there is the 'how much attention will these attract' problem. I would be too shy to use them. But that's me, you'll have to decide that for yourself. Since Chad didn't get to use them on a actual plane seat he makes do with a living room chair. So on this week's show you'll learn a lot more about them. Basically, Chad liked these and they are inexpensive, with the kit of two priced under $10.00. (Good for a round trip plane ride.)

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Plus.codes is easier than what3words, just not as comical.

Plus.codes that Spacex uses for locations does the same thing as What3words using just 6 letters and numbers or 10 if it's in another country.! For instance the White House is at VXX7+39 and the Eiffel tower is at 8FW4V75V+9Q
