Nice Christmas gadget

Hey guys. I learned about this from a David Pogue video and immediately ordered it. The item AND packaging was so cool I had to post about it. So here's the device, the Pocket Spotlight:

How crazy is that? A nice box with cute graphics. A tiny tote bag with a happy note. A plastic Ankylosaurus! A kazoo. And a pair of googly eyes! The invoice is just as happy and upbeat. Talk about going the extra mile to amaze and delight. These guys have it down.
