When I was a kid, we lived in an area that was particularly prone to fireflies. When they were out in hordes, so were the neighborhood kids, all of us with glass jars. Who didn’t want a firefly night light?

These solar jar lights are like a permanent firefly jar. The Sun and Moon Jars are solar-powered and come in three colors (sun, moon, and pink moon). Set them in a place that gathers sunlight during the daytime (like a window sill), and because they contain an LED energy light sensor, they’ll come on automatically when it gets dark. Since they’re actual frosted mason jars, that means they’re also waterproof; you can use your solar light jars outdoors without fear of a random rain shower shorting them out.

As a bonus, if anybody asks you what you keep in them, you can just tell them that’s where you store your sunlight.
