Because a handwritten "Hi, my name is _____ " nametag is so last century. The Infrared LED Name Badge lets you program up to 8 different messages, each with its own customisable appearance like scrolling direction or font size. You can have your name flashing in lights or, if it's used in a work environment, maybe some kind of message of the day.

The badge comes packaged with its own message input software, so adding or updating new messages (via a USB cable) is straightforward enough. And there's even a handy magnetic clip so it can be stuck onto a fridge or anywhere you'd like to leave your own flashing LED message.
