The turtle emits a warm ambient glow from his shell, casting eight night sky constellations on to the walls of your child’s bedroom. This soothing night light, with 3 relaxing colours, not only helps your children go to sleep, but you can teach them 8 of the most recognisable constellations while reading them their favourite bedtime story.Besides making the Twilight Turtle look gorgeous in the dark, the three colours of the nightlight have a practical use: the autumnal glow of amber radiates warmth, good cheer and peace; blue is supposed to calm the mind and the senses – it’s one of the most natural colours in the world and it encourages relaxation and promotes a good night’s sleep; green is the colour of life – it too can be found everywhere in nature and is said to have healing and rejuvenating properties. So not only do you get a very cute soft plush turtle with a star emitting shell, it’s also a great relaxation aid for your child.Growing up is hard enough without being afraid of the dark. Wouldn’t you want a furry friend to light the way to good nights sleep?

Product Description
In the legendary series of educational films from the 1970s, designers Charles and Ray Eames zoom out from a man resting in a park in downtown Chicago, transporting us in minutes to intergalactic space. At the point at which we reach the bounds of human knowledge, they stop… and zoom back in. Only this time, their camera doesn’t stop… surveying deeper and deeper inside his skin, ultimately to the level of sub-atomic particles. Now, we’re not suggesting for a second that this handy desktop 200 x magnification USB microscope will take you anywhere near sub-atomic resolution from the comfort of your own PC, but it will give you a darned good look at your skin, should you wish. Here at gadgetshop HQ we’re huge admirers of Universal Serial Bus technology, as the legion of USB-compliant devices in these pages will attest. And this high-tech microscope, which offers full 1.3Mp resolution, is among the most inventive USB tool we have yet seen. With a host of pro-quality features, including variable magnification, widescreen imaging and a range of image capture options, all illuminated by 4 bright onboard LEDs, the sky (or rather, the world right in front of you) is the limit. Enabling awe-inspiring close-ups, and both still image ‘snapshot’ and full motion video capture, could there be a better way of passing a chill winter’s evening than blowing up one’s own hair follicle to the size of the Titanic? We thought not.
- True 2-megapixel resolution (5 megapixels interpolated)
- Magnification: 20x to 200x
- Video and photo capable
- 8 Adjustable LED Lights
- 2 point ball-bearing metal stand – adjustable Stand foot

Amazon.co.uk Review
This unclassifiable but stunningly original film obliterates the walls between teen comedy, science fiction, family drama, horror, and cultural satire–and remains wildly entertaining throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal (October Sky) stars as Donnie, a borderline-schizophrenic adolescent for whom there is no difference between the signs and wonders of reality (a plane crash that decimates his house) and hallucination (a man-sized, reptilian rabbit who talks to him). Obsessed with the science of time travel and acutely aware of the world around him, Donnie is isolated by his powers of analysis and the apocalyptic visions that no one else seems to share. The debut feature of writer-director Richard Kelly, Donnie Darko is a shattering, hypnotic work that sets its own terms and gambles–rightfully so, as it turns out–that a viewer will stay aboard for the full ride. –Tom Keogh
