I thought this was a great idea to get people to buy more spins for the squeel of fortune. There is one problem though, HALF THE TIME ITS NOT ON THE WHEEL! It is so dumb. If it is as common as it is claimed, why haven't I gotten one? If you are going to add something like this, put it on the wheel everytime.

You get either 2 times or 3 times the normal xp until the xp value shown is used up. And the value shown is always the remaining bonus xp. Over 400 discontinued items have been issued. Most of them are rarer than a Santa Hat.
Daily trading volumes now give a good indication of true rarity.

Pendants of skill are far better for the game than xp lamps.
At least people have to work at and earn normal xp to get the bonus xp. This is much better than just giving away xp for no effort.
Personally, I do not like Jagex continually making the game easier and easier to advance up in the game. If something is difficult to achieve then it is more valued and gives a better sense of achievement once it has been achieved. They may get a higher level of new members and retain some for a longer period, but their churn rate will also go up and people will be moving on to other games at a much higher rate.
Their summer offer of buying/retaining membership for 2 months and giving 1,000,000 xp for no effort is just crazy. This would allow someone with a skill on level 1 to advance straight to level 73.
This sort of give away should be scaled to the current level of whichever skills it is used on. For someone maxed out on all skills, one million is a nice boost towards 200 million xp per skill, but at lower levels it is too much over the top. Over 400 discontinued items have been issued. Most of them are rarer than a Santa Hat.

Do they stack on top of other bonuses? For instance does the firemaking pendant stack with the ring/gloves? And the smithing one with gold-smithing gauntlets?
EDIT: I tested it and I got 54 xp with just gloves/ring and 108 with the pendant so YES it does stack with other items.

So, how about some way to store them? I already have 3, and can forsee myself getting even more, so that's a potential of over 50 bank spaces used up if you decide to keep all of them. Can you add something to the POH or an item of storage by any chance?
