Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A stylish lamp with a unique on/off function.
Why we love it:
How can we possibly expect people to do something so plebeian as flipping a switch when the other options are so excellent? For your favorite hip and ultra-modern recipients, another solution surely must be found. It just wouldn't do to have their friends see them, flipping a light on manually. The solution to this is one of the brilliant airswitch lamps, like this stylish beaker shaped one (great for science geeks). The soft, ambient light is turned on and off, and the brightness is adjusted simply by waving your hand over the opening at the top. "Technical" diagrams running down the side give instructions for use, and create a modern, stylish look for any home or mad scientists lair.
Who we'd give it to:
Mad scientists, ultra-modernists, people who hate switching things.
