It's from a place called Collections, ETC.
Actually it is addressed to my neighbor who buys all kinds of solar/reflector doodads for her yard, but I thought I would look through it before re-delivering it.
One item that struck me immediately was the bowl light, a motion-activated LED toilet light. The catalog promises that it will hook to any toilet. It detects motion from 12 feet away! and can be set to any one of 7 colors or to steadily shine in any one that is selected. It turns your toilet bowl into a softly-glowing night light; no tools or wiring needed and it automatically turns off when you walk away. Like runway lights, it has to be placed at the angle of approach, hooked over the bowl rim (yes, in the splash zone) but thank the Lord, they say it is water resistant. The box with the motion sensor, selector switch and batteries hangs on the outside of the bowl, but the light stick or light sabre hangs on the inside. Now tell me how much of a joy that is going to be to clean. Of course, if you put it in a guest bathroom and have an elderly parent visit, they might not get to the bowl before the sudden light scares the piss out of them from 12 feet away as they approach the landing pattern. The colors with which it will light the stage for your performance are: red, purple (think of Prince with Purple Rain), yellow, green, aqua, white and blue. Can you imagine someone suffering with an enlarged prostate or constipation trying to concentrate on their business with those changing colors of the light show flashing where the sun don't shine? There is a little icon noting that this is "as seen on TV", but I guess I don't watch it at the right time or tune in the right channels to ever see this ad. It's only $12.99.
On the next page is something that might make more sense, a Luma Light, two LED-containing oval "stones that are motion or touch activated to light the depths of purses or your medicine cabinet. I don't understand the "motion-activated" part of the pitch. Would the light be flashing as you walked and your bag swung or is it just motion detected in front of the stone that switches it on and then off after 15 seconds?
They offer 35 degree (Fahrenheit) socks made out of an amazing aerospace fabric with aluminized threads to reflect heat back into the foot but, unfortunately, they are only crew height so it's good that they are thin enough to wear under regular socks. I guess they would not be a good candidate for tossing into a dryer with an electronic moisture sensor. Two pair are $14.99.
There are too many other outrageous offerings to describe, but something I never seen or heard tell of is a loaf-shaped springform pan. It has a non-stick coating, is metal with a side latch and hand washing is mandated. It is 13.5 X 6 X 3 and costs $11.99.
