Parents, having trouble getting the kids to brush their teeth? The BriteBrush GameBrush could help that big time! There are Music Modes to keep your child brushing, plus 6 other games. The better the brush, the more games you can unlock. There are a total of Seven Fun Games - Space Attack, Soccer, Pinball, Dance Star, Punch Master, Race Car Rally, Rockstar Jam, and Arcade Legends! But wait, there's more! Kids may think it's sneaky, but it wasn't designed for them.

Dickie D says that what's neat about myFirst Camera Insta 2 12MP Kid's Instant Print Camera, is it uses thermal printing paper so a black & white print can as little as a penny if you buy the paper in bulk! (It shoots color photos, but it doesn't print in color.) It also supports microSD cards up to 32GB. As you'll see in this week's show the photos are not great, but I think kids will love this camera. And if you happen to take a great photo, then use the SD card to print out a real selfie from MyFirst Camera decent copy.

Dickie D saw something on Amazon he had to have for repairing his glasses. The Perfect repair kit. It comes with 6 different sized precision magnetic eyeglass screwdrivers, a 1000 pieces of eyeglasses screws, nuts, and both metal and plastic washers. There's even a multi-function micro screwdriver that can fit on a keychain, tweezers, and a glasses cleaning cloth. This kit is good eyeglass and sunglasses repair and most likely for other things like electronic, computer, and jewelry repair, or fixing anything with micro screws.

Dickie D joins Leo with some super cool Light Up Terrarium Glass Bulbs! It’s a home decor conversation piece that adds 10 tiny LED’s inside a bulb that also holds a (fake) succulent Agave or Torch Plant! They’re super cool accent decorations will spruce up any bookcase, shelf or table top in your home. (But read about battery life below.) Inside the thick glass light bulb is a mini succulent surrounded by small river rocks. They plants are artificial but they look real. (Make sure no one tries to water them.) The screw in part of the upside down light bulb has a push button on/off switch.

With summer coming, and travel limited, there's no time like the present to blow the dust off your bicycle!  And The Giz Wiz has the perfect accessory. It's called the Tesecu and includes a bright headlight, a Speedometer/Odometer, trip recorder and a horn which offers six different sounds. The horn has a remote that mounts on the handlebars at a convenient place you choose and plugs into the back of the main unit. The 120db bike horn is LOUD, which I found out when I first tried it in my studio.

Safe Spacer is a lightweight wearable device that helps workers and visitors to maintain safe social distancing, enabling workplaces and public spaces to re-open and operate with peace of mind. Using Ultra-wideband technology, Safe Spacer runs wirelessly on a rechargeable battery and precisely senses when other devices come within 2m/6ft, alerting wearers with a choice of visual, vibrating, or audio alarm. It can be worn on a wristband, with a lanyard, or carried in a pocket.

Hiplok Z Lok are reusable security ties designed to provide fast, conveniently added protection for shortstops. They can be used as basic security for bikes, luggage at the airport, etc. Z LOK is available in both a keyed and combination lock version in a variety of colors. It has a lock and holds ratchet design, sort of like a tie wrap, but with a big difference. This one has a reinforced steel core. The company says they’re for basic security in low-risk areas, like when you run into a shop for coffee or a newspaper.

If you're working at home, Dickie D has a great gadget for your laptop. The Avantree or "Neetto"multi-functional workstation, or standing desk, snack tray for watching TV, a laptop, or tablet stand for relaxing in bed or a food table to enjoy breakfast in bed! This mini desk is height adjustable from 9.4"-12.6" and the table angle adjusts 0-30 degrees. The price was $39.99 before the current Covid-19 pandemic. It's now $79.99, but you can find one very similar (and a bit larger) for under $65.00 or so, depending on the finish you pick.

This weeks' gadget is a hanging kitchen trash can. It's said to save space and help keep the kitchen clean and tidy. It works with reusable grocery bags. It can hang on the edge of a drawer, the top of a cabinet, or even in the back seat of the car, hanging on the seat pocket. The company says the trash can is made of grade environmental protection material, and I have no idea what that is, except it feels like some sort of plastic. As you'll see in the video, it can be used half-open, or fully open. Fully open it can stand as a small trash bin for bedroom or bedroom.

The Giz Wiz joins Leo to talk about a great laptop stand/holder he recently found. They offer many step height & angle adjustments; from 2.75 inches to 5.5 inches. It's nicely built, has 4 rubber cushions on top and 2 protective hooks at the bottom to keep your laptop from scratches & sliding. Silicone pads on the bottom protect this stand from scrapes and help keep it secure on your desk. It can hold a notebook/laptop us to 15.6”, weighing up to 11 pounds according to the description. It weighs 9.2 oz, folds easily and comes with a carrying pouch.
