Nightlight Glo


My nightlight growing up was a stained glass angel that plugged into the wall. I had it for many years until I thought I was too old for such things. I don't know about you, but I would gladly use nightlights again if they were as cool as these ones.


Created by Boon Inc, Glo is a color-changing night light. The balls that sit in the white base not only change colors by can be removed. When lights are turned off, the balls glow. They also don't contain anything electronic in them so they are safe to touch because they don't get warm and they won't break. After 30 minutes they fade helping a child fall asleep. Boon Inc also says they are, "95% effective at keeping monsters away all night long."

Growing Bike

When I was growing up, I had about five or six different bikes. Of course, all of them were hand-me-downs from my cousins and sister. I loved bike riding, but every time I grew a little I needed a new bike. 


Orbea has created a bike that expands and grows with a child. They used an adjustable aluminum frame, handlebars, and seat. Just by adding the adjustable frame for the bike, it nearly doubles its useful life span. A bike can last from 4 years to 9 years old now for a kid instead of getting three different bikes as they get older.
