Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A traditional Chinese-inspired lantern that soaks up the UV rays from the sun during the day (hang in full sunlight for maximum charge) and automatically lights up when the sun goes down.
Why we love it:
Imagine how beautiful these lanterns will look hanging in your trees or from your patio - all with no wires or plugs to get in the way. You don't have to do anything more than chose where to hang them (the stainless steel wire hanger is included). Once lit, they provide a shimmering, ethereal glow that is perfect for outdoor summer nights. The lanterns are constructed from weather-resistant, silk-like nylon, and they collapse completely for easy storage. Fully charged on the included rechargeable AAA battery, they will provide 6-8 hours of light from 2 LED bulbs, transforming your yard into an elegant, exotic space, perfect for relaxing.
