You know how hard it is to find an Easter related gadget? Pretty darn tough - but I found one and its kinda neat - maybe even you could use these year round. How about a rechargeable egg shaped color changing wireless light ? Here’s the sellers description….

Watch in amazement as they change from one colour to the next. The egg can be lifted from their recharging base and placed anywhere around the house or outdoors.
They are lot safer to use than traditional candles with the added benefit of coloured lighting that lasts up to 6 hours when fully charged. No batteries or wires required.

On the other end of the spectrum of alarm clocks is this interesting little guy, its fully controlled by your voice. The voice activation is prompted by the trigger phrase, “Alarm Clock,” enabling you to hear the current time, listen to recorded memos, turn on the night light function, and find out how many alarms are set using the following voice commands; “What time is it,” “Play Memo,” “Night Light,” or “Any Alarms.” The snooze function is activated without requiring the use of the trigger phrase by saying “Snooze,”

While this wouldn’t be so good for me - some of you might have the strength of will to deal with such an intelligent clock. (I’d get one if it had a “nag” feature)

found right here for $59.95
