Those suffering under the tyranny of supposed good taste will never know the joy of cheesy mood lighting. These solar-powered Glow Bricks would be a nice alternative to candelight (and also safer) on the deck, in the bath, or in the bedroom when just a little bit of soft lighting is desired. When it glows, you see what looks like lightbulbs floating inside the bricks.

Available in green or blue for about $38 each at crazyaboutgadgets.
