Battle bedtime fears with Boon Glo smart night light

Want to make bedtime a bit more fun and less scary for the kiddies? Here’s a good Christmas stocking stuffer. The Boon Glo light is a three-pronged night light that can be taken out of its base and can change colors. The phosphorescent spheres do not get hot and do not contain electronics, so your little child can hold the lights in their hands. After 30 minutes, the lights from the ball will eventually fade, so it won’t keep the kids up at night. Amazon.ca is selling the Boon Glo for $69.99 and it will be available at Toys ‘R Us and Sears as well.
