The Gadget: A motion detecting bedside coaster that will make sure that your glasses (both eye and drinking) are bright enough for you to see in the dark, while at the same time not too bright to wake you up. More »
The Night Coaster is a small device you keep on your bedside table to host anything you might need during the night, like eyeglasses or your cigarettes or keys for the handcuffs. The neat bit is that it has a motion sensor that makes the coaster glow as you reach over to it, but not enough to wake your partner, just enough so that you can get what you need quietly. I believe this would be a great low-cost gift for the wedding of a couple you don’t really care about that much. [Taylor Gifts via 7Gadgets via Geek.com]
I’m not sure whether this Night Before Christmas mobile night light will work for Tim Burton fans who are scared of the dark. Switch the US$21.99 light on and little silhouettes of Jack Skellington and his chums will glide silently across your bedroom ceiling all night long. The light, which looks like a crystal ball, runs on two AA batteries and is an officially-licensed product from Japan. [ThinkGeek]
Our parents were too cheap to buy us one of those plasma balls that arc’ed “lightning” to your fingertips when touched, but this Plasma Bulb Night Light is a cheaper way to relive our childhood than to look on craigslist for a some lady to breast feed us. For just $US9.99, the night light keeps away demons at night while simultaneously throwing blue and purple lightning all over your room. No points for finding out what happens when you smash the glass and free all those latent electrons. [ThinkGeek via Uber Review] More »
