and I am back with the gadget guy Steve
Greenberg all decked out he's gonna show
us how to tech the halls with all kinds
of great gifts I love your ugly i wasn't
saying ugly christmas sweater but
actually in texas is warm so ugly
christmas shirt it's a t-shirt there's a
company called faux real shirt calm and
so they print these hot holy shirts this
happens me a Chanukah shirt right here
but they print these shirts onto t-shirt
so it's not having an itchy sweater and
being hot at a party right you still
have that holiday look but your
comfortable looks like you're wearing a
very cool so let's talk about some gift
idea okay first up this is maybe for the
younger folks but could be for anybody
from Kodak it's their mini shot and what
this is it's an instant print cameras
which I've shown those before but what's
neat about it one it has a screen the
back of it and we're printing out a
picture right now but what's cool that
you can print pictures directly from
your smartphone to it so for example
earlier back actually a couple years ago
I took this picture of us yeah and here
in my in my okay I was a few pounds
heavier and so was I think the prints it
out so you can use this to print
pictures from it Plus you can add frames
and borders and templates if you look
like you can add some words like hohoho
or put a template on it that's my dog
whisky right there yeah you can do some
really fun things with it and we're
printing out a picture here which takes
about a minute or so to print so I'm
hoping it's gonna teach like the next
generation to print again and right and
these pictures you can peel off the back
and they're sticky so you could actually
put them onto ornaments and do all sorts
of fun things onto notebooks and and
really do some fun stuff personalize
them stuff exactly thank you kind of a
nice what to do with digital pictures
okay okay so from Kodak
I mean he's got about $119 or so Amazon
has it next a lot of folks are getting
this Pro get gift which is a Nintendo
switch very popular right now but you
might be things like what's a good
auxilary gift to get with it and this is
great this is from 2k and it's their
carnival games what's nice about it is
20 family friendly games oh no so in
case so you don't get something that's
inappropriate
this is a great way to go this it's oh
crap so we have some video right now
a cosmic strike which is sort of like
Buller digital bowling so you can do
that they also have batters up Roadhog
with kids that let me go in for a couple
of weeks the parents about they have
something to do I think they all work
with the motion sensor so you can use
the joystick if you want or for example
the bowling you just do this yeah you
had that whole bowling my mom does at
her retirement home oh yeah they do the
Wii bowling it's so cool so if one two
three four players ages 10 and up great
game for again I love it carnival games
from 2k
okay next for the whole family you know
these this these are these enable
speakers are very big so we're this one
has a Google Voice is very big but not
big not the speakers that we used to
have do a judge a man sexiness because
so this is from JBL it's the first time
that JBL which is a high name speaker
company has taken in google assistants
so these are really cool speakers and
what's nice about it's called JBL link
series if you have them in a bunch of
rooms you can coordinate them so they
all work together or they can all work
separately however you want and there's
a big one here for a bigger room for big
sound and a smaller one here as well
starting about $150 what's cool about
this money this is called link view it
has a screen on it and this 8 inch HD
screen is great because for example
let's give an example hey Google show me
some recipes for some holiday cookies ok
here are some recipes so instead of just
having a voice you actually yeah thanks
for giving you you can do voice calls
with it video calls you can also do
watch yeah we use link to music it shows
who you're playing it's really kind of a
takes it to the next yeah yeah cool
starts about $150 and works away up to
about 250 for something like that all
right
during the holidays yeah a lot people
coming and going and you want to get
some me for the house or you this is a
great dad gift this is called Lockley
and this is the most advanced lock out
there right now so this is cool it has
four different ways you can open it
obviously you can use a key which we
will remember keys it has actually a
fingerprint area here so your
fingerprint right there and do it that
way yeah cuz my one in my family I'm not
going to name which one hmm
has lost the key for the third time yeah
so now if he just doesn't lose his
finger people would be good
right yes
the other choice is going to control
with your smartphone but you could also
do something call this thing called pin
genie so what this does is so I'm going
to do what the code is so this is one
two three four five six and there you go
which by the way we don't suggest that
as your PIN number but say that Y so it
is because those numbers keep moving on
this screen so if anyone's watching you
will never be in the same place twice so
they can't learn your code yeah it keeps
the code interesting and different so
this way first rule you to pay attention
to something I doing it's right for
location and so your code stays the same
but it's shaped plus you can also this
is great for like an air B&B right or
for the cleaning person who comes to
your house or for the dog-walker visitor
something for the holidays just like
they can come and go when they want okay
close that you can make it work in a
certain window or whenever you want very
very smart amazon has a 250 lochley
amazing price yeah ok ok next thing is
so cool because I went through this
whole thing with my mom a needy hearing
age and you know she was over times
yelling and asking us to talk loud and a
whole bit she find got that settled but
before we getting to a stage this is
great and the statement for that stage
this is great for anyone who needs any
kind of hearing assistive this is a
hearing amplifier
you know normally these things cost $800
and a buck yeah this one I'm showing you
right here start is $300 so it's great
price point it's from Zee Vox it's
called voice bud what's amazing is that
we're wearing them right now we started
the show I was gonna be like why are you
yelling at me Steve yeah yeah you're
actually so great so if I go to a
restaurant these days I find myself
doing this I can't hear what's going on
you know my hearing is great but in a
noisy environment can this has dual
microphones on it so one microphone is
pulling in the sound or the person
you're listening to the other microphone
is cancelling out the sound box you're
get ambient sound this makes a huge
difference and this dual microphone
system with this directionality
makes it really really great they're
easy to operate it you can control them
with your smart phone really smart $300
and the reviews on this thing have been
phenomena because there are certain
things on the body that are wearing out
and that our teeth our eyes and our
hearing right like an important you I
can tell you that okay okay and then
last but not least this is called Adaro
and this turns any container into a
smart container so whether we're talking
about a diaper bag we're talking about a
gym
briefcase backpack you put on these tags
on the big item and then you put these
little tag lights on the little items
things like your wallet or your glasses
case or your charger then when all of
those things are in the container you
push the button on the tag and will tell
you oh I got everything yep green I'm
good you guys you're good to go yeah if
it's pork it's red it means Oh something
some at the airport somewhere wait
for your kids backpack so it's sort of
like seeing if they have their notebook
they have this they have it click on it
and of course you've got your smart
smart phone where it's all syncs up to
so you can see what's going on as well
yeah my phone really smart way to go
Adaro starts about $119 for a set of
three and three okay all right all
