Are you a bit bummed because it doesn’t feel quite like the holiday season has even started, yet alone almost over? I bet I can pinpoint the cause: lack of snow. Now, unless you live in the tundra (aka Minnesota), you probably haven’t seen that much snowfall this year. For some people that’s a blessing – no driveways to shovel, treacherous roads to travel, or ice patches to slip on. For the rest of us, it’s kinda a downer. I mean, Christmas without any snow? That’s unheard of!
The Light Flurries Instant Snowflakes Machine (Things You Never Knew Existed, $79.98) is guaranteed to make your Christmas a White Christmas. Alright, so it won’t actually make it snow, but it will create the illusion of snow, and that’s all that really matters. Using a patented rotating ball light system, the device mimics the look of thousands of snowflakes. You can control the speed and intensity of the snowflakes, so you can decide if you want a light sprinkle of snowflakes or a flurry frenzy. You can create snowflakes both indoors and outdoors, but seriously, who ever heard of it snowing indoors? That would just be weird (even weirder than snowflake light projections).
Gift givability factor: High. A lot us haven’t even seen a snowfall yet this year (yes, I’m even talking about northerners), so the odds are pretty good that you won’t be having a “White Christmas.” With this handy device, anyone can create a faux winter wonderland without the hassle of actual snow. I’m sure folks in Minnesota would trade their mountains of snow for this guy any day of the week.
