A soft silicone duck lying face-down in an attitude of complete surrender, glowing warmly from within. Tap the top to cycle three brightness levels, set the 30-minute sleep timer, and let it run about six hours on a charge. Marketed for nurseries, adopted overwhelmingly by exhausted adults who saw themselves in it.

It's marketed for nurseries. It has been adopted, overwhelmingly, by exhausted adults who took one look at a duck lying face-down in total surrender and recognised themselves. The posture is the whole product — a duck standing up would be nothing. As a piece of design it's a very efficient joke, and as a light it's genuinely good: soft silicone, three tap-adjustable brightness levels, a 30-minute timer, and rechargeable rather than eating batteries. One of the few things we stock that works equally well as a sincere gift and as a comment on someone's week.
