Before you decorate your holiday tree, why not have the whole family make their own ornaments!

It's the TreeMendous Christmas Tree Ornament Decorating Kit. The company says it's designed for kids Ages 3 and up, but I certainly enjoyed using it. It's a way for the family to

design their own ornament in a fun, exciting way! The kit comes with three ornaments and a set of 8 nontoxic colorful markers, allowing for many options to create colorful unique ornaments! I've used the kit and it is fun, but there isn't a wide opportunity to personal the ornaments since you're decorating a spinning ornament. So you can't make pictures, write your name, or personalize it with things like that. You can buy the kit by itself, or with a box of 6 additional ornaments. More different shaped ornament are also available and sold separately. 3 AA batteries are required and are not included.

Another "As Seen On TV" Gadget!

Yes, we make constant fun of 'As Seen On TV' gadgets, and it seems with good reason. They never seem to live up to the hype. On this show we look at the Bits and Pieces - Household Laser Scissors Gadget Heavy Duty Sewing and Crafts Scissors. First a bit of hype from the company: First Do you hate that you can never cut a straight line with regular scissors? We have the answer! These unique, high-quality laser guided scissors give you an absolutely straight guide line to cut along. Two adjustment screws allow you to aim the laser light perfectly where you want it. Great for sewing, craft projects and wrapping gifts. Scissors measure 8-1/2" x 3" and batteries are included.

From the Giz Wiz. With every cut on the scissors the laser light moves a lot. We tried it on fabric, on a Amazon bubble envelope and on just a plain sheet of paper and never got a perfectly even line. Maybe if the scissors were much sharper that wouldn't cause the laser to move so much with each cut. I'd give them may 2 stars.

Stop wasting batteries on device you leave on for long periods.

You can use a Lenink AC Power Supply Adapter to replace 2 AA batteries, with other options available too. With this AA battery adapter I can keep my LED Neon Bat lit 24/7 instead of for 80 hours with 2 AA batteries. So this saving time and money and the hassles of getting in from my front window to replace the batteries. Lenink says it's AA battery power supply adapter is made of high quality materials with overcharge protection,short circuit protection and over current protection. There's an ultra-thin flat cable that you can feed out of the closed battery compartment cover. It's thin enough that it doesn't tilt the device tilting or affect it's standing flat. Compatible with most low-medium current applications <1 Amp. This model is used eliminate 2 AA batteries in electronic devices. The company makes many other versions for 3 & 4 AA battery devices. Fot 4.6 out of 5 stars from 205 ratings. I paid $13.99 on Amazon.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

And as promised, another viewer warehouse video from a person who never submitted one before! This one is from Anthony Moringello talking about a gadget he bought after seeing it on the Giz Wiz Show. Here's Anthony's email:

Hi Dick & Chad,

Here is a gadget I cannot live without. It is the Dimplex electric fireplace insert. You initially reviewed this product in episode 773 back in Feb 25 2009. (About 5:40 into the podcast).  We’re owned this about 10 years or more and it still works great!  Anthony

From the Giz Wiz. I have two Dimplex fireplaces and still use them, but they company has added a lot of new models since then.

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
