Eye spy ... a favourite gadget



I am playing along with Bug and Pop's lovely "Eye Spy" each Sunday. This week's theme is from the delightful Kellie of 74 Lime Lane. She has asked us to show off a favourite gadget.

I'm a bit partial to gadgets, but this would have to be my current favourite. Its a free-standing, re-chargable Thomas The Tank Engine night light with inbuilt torch.

It is the magic cure for a small boy who had been getting up at 3am, turning on the lights and singing. It must remain fully charged. At. All. Times.

Thank you to Cindy for hosting Eye Spy and to Kellie for the theme. To discover other shoes, head over here.

  3. Oh what I good idea - I wanted to get one for the madam but my Mr has some childhood phobia of night light's - he had a Humphrey Bear one when he was little and it still freaks him out - it's a little funny as he is now 35, big and tattooed and scared of night lights - love him x

  6. Oh my word. I'm stashing that one away in my brain for future use. Do you think it would work for two small boys who like getting up at 4.30-5.30am every day?!

    Amazing a night light solves the problems. Like a bandaid solves many others!
