Note: I’ve been told this post is long, if you only want to see the LED Roses scroll down to the youtube clip and read from there. Otherwise what follows is a very good narrative about Valentine’s Day flowers!
Ah St. Valentine’s Day, a special occasion to show that meaningful person in your life how much you truly love them… Or a great day for a new relationship to start, you decide… Either way that you decide to go you don’t want to be lame and ordinary by buying overly priced live roses taht will die in a few days.
Nor do you want to get simple silk roses that just sit there looking like nothing special. Usually they’re cheesy or extremely expensive! Even more then the cost of living roses on the 14th itself! If only there was another option, hmm… one that had the panash of real flowers with the durability of synthetic… Something that she’ll remember forever and would never have gotten before…
Well you’re in luck! Because we have just the item. Its a LED Silk Rose. That’s right these beautiful roses come complete with an internal LED making them glow with all the love in your heart. Well they glow regardless whether there’s love, affection, lust or just guilt. But they are beautiful, and I’m sure that you’re special person has never gotten one of these before.
The Red LED Roses come with a single HIGH powered Red LED inside, lighting them a spectacular color, while the White LED Roses come with 3 LED’s to allow the user the choice of 8 different color combinations. View the youtube video below to see just how Fantastic these really are!
Yes its true the new macbooks come out tomorrow, all with their shiny new form design and 13.3″ screen and most importantly the addition of a new port… (I’ll tell you a secret… its an HDMI outlet). Don’t ask how I know and I won’t tell you (oh yea and LED backlit screens).
If that isn’t enough then I should also mention that Windy City Novelties, Inc (a Vernon Hills Illinois based novelty and party goods wholesaler) announced their new product line of iGlow hair gel (patents pending and trademarked)! Now you can add a frightful array of glow to your hair when you go out (and even style with it).
Halloween is a fun time, as you can probably tell its a big time of the year for me (just look at all the posts related to it here) I love the fun nature of the holiday and the fact that everyone can act like a kid.
But… there are safe ways to play and not safe ways to play.
Putting a candle in a pumpkin and letting it burn through the night? NOT SAFE!
Walking around in a dark costume so that no one can see you? NOT SAFE
Luckily these are two dangers that can be easily avoided. For the pumpkin simply use one of our LED candles to illuminate it, they look like real candles and flicker like it too. And for the dark outfits, just bring a couple of glow sticks with you to make sure that you’re easily seen.
A few other safety notes:
only trick or treat in areas you are familiar with
never go off on your own
abide by your local rules regulating trick or treat hours
INSPECT ALL CANDY BEFORE EATING ANY
Have fun and don’t ruin the time for you or anyone else.
Halloween is coming sooner then anyone thought possible. And with that comes all the decorations that are sure to help celebrate the season. One of the coolest looking decorations is the luminaria, a type of illuminated paper bag that many people use to outline their front yard or walk way. The only problem with these have been that in the past people have used candles to illuminate them and they’ve caught on fire…
Well no more! Our luminaria packages all come with LED flicker candles, that way you get all the awesome look and feel of a real flame without any of the dangerous consequences.
What’s also a great treat is to have your children decorate the luminarias, it can even be a great cub scout / girl scout activity in that its simple, safe, and fun.
To see our LED candles in action view the youtube video below.
Sit back, relax, go outside with a nice tall glass of Iced tea and enjoy the evening. Just remember to add a lite up ice cube (litecube) to make sure you can find your glass in the beautiful cool evening…
Wait, you don’t know what a lite up ice cube is? Oh man, and here I am enjoying the coolest drinks around not only because they taste great but because the drink literally lights up from my glowing ice cube.
A lite up ice cube is exactly what the name implies. It looks like an ice cube, and even cools your drink down (if you put it in the freezer before hand) but the real impressive part comes from turning it on! Press the button on the bottom before inserting the lite up ice cube in your drink to choose from 3 settings
Fast blink
Slow blink
Steady on
I’ve gotten some questions in the past about the safety of putting this in your drinks. Let me tell you a few things: These are made out of the highest quality components. They are FDA certified for food use (thats because they are completely sealed). Their battery has no connection with anything outside of the plastic encasement, and can only be activated by a secured rubber water tight plunger on the bottom.
What’s also great is that they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to customize your own special event. Throwing a big game party? Then use our Football shaped Lite up ice cubes. We also have stars, dice, golf ball and traditional shaped lite up ice cubes.
Fusion badges are sweeping the nation! Well not literally but they are darn cool! Right now you should be thinking to yourself… “WOW awesome!”, “Where do I get them?”, “Can I buy tons for me and my friends!!!?”. I did say what you should be saying. Instead you’re probably saying “What is a Fusion Badge?”
Well the answer is right here. A Fusion badge is the newest light up accessory. It’s literally a medallion that you wear around your neck and it lights up in different patters. What’s great about them also is that the large circular center leaves a huge spot for personalization!
I’ve seen people use them as name badges, team identifiers for night sports, and even as picture frames to light up the image! These things are really cool. The pictures don’t always do them justice so here’s a video clip as well:
Everyone loves blinkies those lovable lapel pins or accessories that blink or flash in accord with their image. So if you wanted a Skull and Cross bones Blinky it would look like this:
More into the patriotic spirit of the day? Then get one of our American blinky pins, we have many to choose from including those shaped in the image of the continental United States, the US flag, both the Republican Elephant and the Democrat Donkey.
Getting ready to show your Irish Spirit at the Pub? Need to remind everyone of your Irish background? Or are you just wearing one of those “Kiss Me I’m Irish” shirts and want to draw attention to it? (although it seems that this shirt only works if you’re a lady) Then try walking in with a blinky shaped like a shamrock, its good luck I hear!
Going to the bar but want to make a statement about the new anti-smoking laws? Then try our No smoking blinky, they’ll get the point!
Also if you don’t want to put a lapel pin in your shirt then you could always use our necklace attachment to make any blinky into a stunning necklace!
If you’re wondering about the size of a body light binky (cylinder with 1-3 LED’s and no image) look here, it also shows you the size of the backing on all our blinkies.
Last thing, I’ve gotten a few requests wondering why we switched away from the magnetic backing that we used to use. The simple answer is safety, magnets of that strength in that small size are considered a hazard for children.
Ever wondered if you were being watched? Thought you saw a set of eyes in the bushes or behind a door? Well you might not be paranoid. Your neighbor might simply have installed Peep and Peepers a 14′ foot long wiring that houses 3 sets of CRAZY EYES that stare at passers by.
These decorations are perfect for Halloween or any time of the year when you want to freak people out a bit.
These things are so cool we even made a youtube video for it: COMING SOON!
There are several different patterns for paper flat wear and place settings from pumpkins, to skulls, to a playful devil. Don’t forget the tablecloths, plastic silverware, napkins and cups to match!
Decorations are key to throwing a theme party. We’ve got all you need to set the scene and transform any room into Halloween town. A great way to change any boring room into a Halloween Haven is with our Scene Setters.
Pick from our array of table confetti, table skirts, hanging spiders, dangling lights in ghost, pumpkin, or spider shapes. There are even wall hangings to easily tape up for an instant room transformation. Then jazz it up with stick on fake foot prints, safe and realistic battery operated tea lights… best of all, these are all reusable!
I’m a sloppy drinker, I can admit it. Wheter it be a water bottle or a nice cold Coors Light, I always seem to get more on the table and my shirt then in my mouth. I attribute this problem to the slippery nature when a bottle is placed on a table, and my inability to see what I’m drinking when relaxing outside at night.
What if there was something that would be anti-skid and illuminate the drink…. WAIT THERE IS and its called a Sticky Bottom. That’s right the Sticky Bottom was designed to not only act as a high friction coaster, ensuring that your bottle stays where you put it, but also to illuminate the entire drink using several high powered LED’s!!! The result is a cool looking drink that draws attention not only for the drinker but to the drink itself.
Don’t believe me at how cool these are? Watch this youtube video below that actively demonstrates it.
