Eggie is the recent creation of designers Gavin Chu and Andrew Geng. The adorable nightlight is a highly practical product that looks just like an egg -- but this one is waterproof, lights up and can even be recharged.
Each Eggie light connects to a wall outlet where it can recharge its battery when not in use. Otherwise, this illuminating device can be transported anywhere that needs light. The reliable battery allows for the light to continue glowing consecutively for seven hours. To turn the device on or off, the user simply shakes the egg.
Additionally, consumers have the option to customize their product by adding artistic designs to the exterior. The design team behind this product recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the process of creating and distributing these gadgets to reach a larger audience.
