I have a sound machine from them that I adore & it came with a nice eye mask. Plays white noise while I sleep. I keep it on all day sometimes and it still works. I agree it isn’t luxury quality though
I l8ke my deshedding tool. Comes with a button that pushes hair off the tool. Very handy. Have no idea where I bought it from,…possibly PetSmart, years ago when they had that Treat Trail portion on the app.Once I got better at the game, I was getting 10, 15, and 20% off coupons. Ah, those were the days. Then one day PS app developers took it off the app. I then found out that PS did not want it anymore.😱 Boooooo. 🤬😡🤬😡
Just proved the downfall of so many companies! I always loved going into Brookstone stores as you could actually try out items. I was hoping to see this butterfly thing work but………???
The deshedding tool you tested is a furminator style rake. As a dog groomer, I don’t recommend it at all for double coated dogs. It cuts fur, that’s why it appears to outperform a traditional rake. I recommend a wire bristled slicker brush to effectively deshed in addition to the rake you have been using.
That was pretty funny. I at first thought Bailey tooted ...but nope, just blame it on Bailey's beloved piggy. I think the drumsticks could be fun as an inexpensive toy to easily entertain kids. I could see visiting kids having fun with those. The lamp was a bust. I would use the wine cooler to put icecubes in at my next party. I think I would get more use out of it that way! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I found your channel.
We just had to put our dog Bailey down last week. Every time I would watch your videos and you would call your dog, mine would look around to see who wanted her lol. It brought tears to my eyes watching alone. Give your dog a hug for me.
I am so terribly sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Bailey. It warms my heart to hear that she connected with my videos in her own special way. I will give Bailey an extra hug and kiss in her memory.
Can you imagine a Marshall's taste test of the random food items, guest staring Brandon?! I always wonder who buys these things at Marshall's or TJ Max.
@@NSPresbyterianThat's not funny and defintely something my father would do to me. I think he was the one who gave them the toy electric guitar that they keep finding no matter how well I hide it.
@jxchamb It's a Grandparent right of passage and always has been. You'll do it for your grandkids to annoy your kids, your kids will do it for their grandkids, etc. Just enjoy it while you still have them that young. It's up there with hopping them up on sugar then sending them home, and buying the cool presents while the parents buy clothes...
I bought my dog one of those pig toys for Xmas(wasn't from Marshalls but was same price) she loves it but thinks when it squeals that she is hurting it. She picks it up as gently as possible and carries it to bed with her every night and then back to the couch in the morning. Named him pork chop.
The Wine Bottle Cooler would probably work even better if you put it in the refrigerator while the wine bottle is getting cold before setting them out, Or even better you could probably get even better results if you put the wine bottle cooler in the Freezer instead. That way when you have it sitting out it is already colder & will probably work better keeping wine bottles colder for longer. lol
Lol, I'm so glad you didn't squeak that toy, my two mutts would go apeshit if they heard it. I have to mute videos that make noises like that because of how crazy these two are for squeakables.
Marshall’s is my favorite store! I look there for my needs before checking out other stores because they never disappoint and their prices beat out most other stores. I just came home from there with a diatomaceous earth bath mat for $20! Even Amazon can’t beat that.
James, when I brush my Shetland Sheepdogs I used the same fine toothed "rake" (they used to call them). BUT, I would get the best results (& get done quicker) if I went from tail to head. Going from tail to head, really gets all the undercoat that can get really matted. I'm sure you do that already. And that this video was for the purpose of testing the product you purchased. But I just wanted to make others aware of it works best! :) Great videos!!! Nancy
Thank you for including some footage from the store! Love it. As a non-American, it's fun to see what some of your stores look like that we don't have over here.
I have a small square pan with two circle areas for eggs, or baked beans, etc, and a larger square area for fries or a steak, etc. It's about the third of a size of a regular frying pan. Cost me $8! I love it!
There is a gas station down the street from where I live that has that exact squeaky toy on the counter. You have to give it a squeak to get food service! Maybe you could train Baily to do that!!! lol. 😆😆🤣😆🤣
Ha ha ha, the drumsticks were hilariously fuunny and hopeless at the same tiime. I've seen those one egg pans but couldnt bring myself to pay for such a one hit tool. The light was rooted and i hope you get ur money back; and Bailey looked to be the big winner with the pig. If i see those pigs instore i cant help myself,, gotta sqeeze it.
As a drummer... omg that ear torture haha... that was just bad! If I'm not mistaken there was a legitimate toy growing up in the 90's that was nearly identical and just as bad. I've noticed on most of these items you buy that the "Brookstone" ones tend to absolutely stink -- when I worked at Staples we used to put out a Christmas display of cheapy Brookstone "gifts" and items for the holiday near the front of the store, and none of them ever truly worked or were appealing -- more oft than not just cheap and junky.
I think it was more second half of the 80s, but yes. Most of the elementary schools where I subbed (before getting my contract) banned them because they were such a distraction.
I don't understand how Brookstone stays in business. I never heard of them before you reviewed that poor excuse of a cell phone projector. Now these two? These aren't even good enough for Dollar Tree.
They're still riding their previous image. Once upon a time they had brick and mortar stores with quality items. Then they got greedy trying to sell cheap trendy Wish quality items for the same prices as the previously good stuff. Things have been on a steady decline ever since.
I went into an Asian inspired 'home wares' store, back in 2012, and picked up a thin aluminum pan, that is perfect for eggs. I also do mini pancakes too.
the problem with the deshedding brush that I'd worry about is if a dog has mats or anything. the closer together the teeth of the rake, the more likely it is to pull on the dogs fur and make them uncomfortable.
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 I watch a few dog grooming channels, that's where I know it from. shout-out to "Girl With The Dogs" for being a great source.
Not much on the V day department as they had everything set up by Christmas! :) I must say though... I can get lost in the snacks and the kitchen gadgets aisles.
Hey James! Love your stuff, man! Just wanted to throw in a de-shedding tool pro tip! You really don't want to apply any pressure when using those types of brushes. They can easily pierce a dogs skin and will rip out hair that's not ready to come out with too much pressure. The weight of the brush is all the pressure you want to apply.
That butterfly one was so bad, that it looks like someone took a dollar store light and just packaged it as I'd out was from Brookstone. Dang. What a horrible product.
Of course Bailey was adorable... but the obvious aside, those sticks.. man.... Remember Hit Stix, I think it was with an X ... Similar to this, from the 80s or 90s, wired to a speaker you'd wear on your belt, kinda big speaker really. And they were GREAT. Polyphonic, excellent build quality, great sounds... and not all that expensive. Things were just better then.
I can't believe you found the egg pan I've been trying to find! I guess I should have looked at Ross/Marshalls instead of Walmart or target. I finally found a grown up version of that egg pan at Fred Meyer (Kroger for the rest of the US lol) for like $8
Still no ostrich egg gadgets at Marshalls? Getting so impatient with the lack of ostrich egg poachers, I'm thinking of welding a couple washing-up bowls together.
How many chicken eggs equal one ostrich egg? Just curious as I don’t think we have any free range ostrichest here in North Carolina 😄😄. Do they taste like chicken eggs when cooked?
@@lefroy1 Thank you for answering - don’t think I have a skillet large enough to hold one of these😄. I’ve seen quail eggs in our grocery stores but never thought to try them, especially as they are a bit smaller than chicken eggs - and I’m not really much of an egg person.
Bailey is such a good girl. So goofy with her toy. I think, nay I KNOW we need a yearly Bailey compilation video. Akin to the best products of the year video.
That deshedding brush seems to use the same design as Furminator brushes, so that’s actually a really good deal money-wise, if I remember correctly those brushes are about $40!
reason i think microwave doesn't work well for the eggs is the yolks actually set at a lower temp than the whites and unlike conventional cooking methods microwaves don't cook things evenly so you will never get the necessary control on heating the whites before the yolk sets
Multipet toys are great! One of my dogs is obsessed with the "Duckworth" plush they make. It's the only plush toy he hasn't destroyed. He has all 5 colors and knows which one is which
Brookstone in the malls used to mean "High Quality"...now it just means, not quite Temu, but faster than Wish...
I have a sound machine from them that I adore & it came with a nice eye mask. Plays white noise while I sleep. I keep it on all day sometimes and it still works. I agree it isn’t luxury quality though

I love these Haul videos at various stores!
Same! I always look forward to them.
A pet storage container? I don't think a dog would be happy being stored in there long term. Maybe for a day.
🤣🤣
😂🤣
Marshall's is great! My best bargain score there was full place settings from Star Trek's Enterprise NCC-1701-A. One buck each!
When I heard those drumsticks was that toy BopIt 🤣
Marshalls Tj Maxx Ross all have different stuff but some great deals to he found and lots of stuff for Pets .
Valentines far off ? Mate...there's easter eggs in all the shops here!
they have Valentines, St.Patricks, and Easter all out in some stores.
It's clear he is one of those last minute guys 😁
he films well in advance of his posting date
When you have to say "it's not that bad", it's definitely that bad, if not worse.
😂
I didn't think the drum sticks could be beat, but that butterfly lamp.
Ha.
I wonder if the projector had some sort of protective film over it…although I don’t know why they would bother for something so cheap.
Fun! Enjoyed the reviews!
Major Cool Points for the Briefcase Full of Blues album in the background!
That egg pan looks like it'd be about perfect for a sausage patty also.
You can't even do a ba-doom tsh with those drumsticks. Definitely a fail.
the butterfly lamp is hilarious, its just straight garbage, mass produced
Yeah and the packaging is pretty deceiving!
I like 2 eggs in my sammich. That thing is too small. Haha
As a drummer who mostly uses electronic drums these days, I cringed when you took out those horrible "drumsticks." Awwwwful! 😂
Microwave pouched eggs, 15grams vinegar, 300 grams water, cracked egg heat for 90-120sec, egg will float when done. Adjust time for desired doneness.
I crack an egg into a half cup of cold water and microwave it for 1:20-It poaches decently each time. It’s a quick method if you’re short on time.
The Electric drumsticks were known as Hit Stix back in the mid to late 80's...and they were just as bad back then 🤣
it's that thing you gift your nephew/neice to annoy their parents (your siblings) with 😅
I thought they looked familiar.
Back then, they had an earphone jack and a piece you had to wear like a Walkman. Far less annoying to parents. But then worked about as well.
@@Ra-Hul-KNiece.
@dankpods "reviewed" these!
The drumsticks would make a great gift to give the kids of the sibling or sibling-in-law you don't like the most......LOL
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The deshedding tool you tested is a furminator style rake. As a dog groomer, I don’t recommend it at all for double coated dogs. It cuts fur, that’s why it appears to outperform a traditional rake. I recommend a wire bristled slicker brush to effectively deshed in addition to the rake you have been using.
Came here to make sure someone said this!
It struck me that what he was using looks like a big flea comb...
As usual, Bailey is the true winner!
That was my thought too.
As she should be!❤
Calling the butterfly gadget a dud is too generous. It's an abject failure!
I loved it when Bailey rolled on the pig she was so excited!
That was pretty funny. I at first thought Bailey tooted ...but nope, just blame it on Bailey's beloved piggy.
I think the drumsticks could be fun as an inexpensive toy to easily entertain kids. I could see visiting kids having fun with those. The lamp was a bust. I would use the wine cooler to put icecubes in at my next party. I think I would get more use out of it that way!
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I found your channel.
Just a suggestion, disregard if you have already done it. Harbor Freight?
My dog is a destructive chewer and I got him a pig and he didn't destroy it.
Those drumsticks are somehting to give my 10 year old nehpew and tell him to play it around his mom when she is cooking dinner
And then she'll give something even more annoying to your kids the next Christmas.

More like a gift for the grandkids that you can send home with them.

DECADES I’ve been doing it wrong?!😹
Aw, using AI for that deals and duds segment bums me out
There’s a reason Brookstone stores closed; their product quality has gone downhill
Sad. I used to love to peruse through their stores. Sometimes buying even.
My wife bought that same tiny egg pan over 10 years ago. She loves it. And it doesn't tip over on our glass stovetop.
I really hate it when this happens...

i was expecting a full blown squeak, but it's just a low grunt

How old is Bailey? She's such an amazing dog and is always such a welcome addition to a video.
She's definitely older, I c the white beard.

A GOOD girl? Nah man she's the BESTEST BEST girl ever lol
Bailey is such a good dog
Drum sticks ok for 3 year old. But beginning sound sounded like the spring in my box spring in 1970s
You give the drumsticks to a friend's small child and run.
Thought about my grandchildren - as grandparents we would be banned from ever visiting them!!!!!
Bailey is a happy happy dog. She's so cute!❤🐶
We've finally figured out the secret to Lars Ulrich's snare on St. Anger
Omg I was thinking the exact same thing! 🎉
I go out of my way to the next town to buy dog beds from Marshall’s. They have the best prices on good quality dog beds for my 50 lb dog.

Bailey is a natural entertainer, star of the show.
Instructions unclear, now I'm lost at Marshall Islands.
Get back in your kayak and go north😆
Man Brookstone needs to reevaluate, I was crying laughing at how bad that butterfly "projector" was.
Yo did you take the clear protective sheet off the lamp before younusedbit? I can clearly see there is a liner around the bell of the lamp.

Do Marshall's have a returns policy? Perhaps for real duds you should test out companies returns policies.
I think that you should shop Burlington because that's where I work and I think that you could find some pretty darn good deals there
My egg pan just like that one flops over even full of eggs or pancakes. Completely handle heavy 😕
There was a name brand of scented pencils and I got a few of them back in 2018 and the brand is Smencils

Marshals frequency has Joie! Eggy items in the kitchen section. I’m a big fan of everything Eggy.
Those drumsticks seem great gift for someone with kids, if you never ever want to get invited to their parties again.
The drumsticks gave me a headache, but I had a good laugh.
Microwaving eggs or bacon is an absolute SIN! Its easy to poach an egg
The one thing that I could never imagine being good is cooking eggs in a microwave. No matter what.
I've actually never seen anyone use the timer feature on their microwave ever!!!! I totally forgot it was even a feature!!! LMAOOOOO
