We have always been suckers for things that are a bit out of the norm, which is why this pillow from Diana Lin Design caught our eye. It can light up your sofa, chair or even bedroom. Click through the jump to leave us your thoughts on the pillow that gives you the ability to read in bed without a lamp or flashlight!
This pillow would make an ideal night light, conversation piece, or sunshine alternative during those dark winter months.
It takes 4 AA batteries and lasts for 4 hours if left on continuously. Rechargeables would be in order, but we like the idea behind the product. Small silicon globes contain led lights and are bagged in this soft pillow cover.
They are available in pink, white, gold and snowy rose for $160-195 from DianaLin or these other retailers around the country.
Would this be fun in your home or a pain to remember to charge the batteries? Leave us your thoughts below!

Yeah, I'm not all that fond of this either, has sort of a David Cronenberg feel to it.

It would be neat if it were shaped more like a regular throw pillow and not all oddly lumpy like that.

I like it. My kids would fight over it. It would cheer us all up on dreary winter evenings. Yes, it's odd looking--sort of like an illuminated Chinese crested dog's body--but it's strangely appealing too.

It is very expensive for a novelty. It's also kind of furry. The pictures remind me of some alternate universe of the future, the future is now. Aside from being slightly more useful than a normal pillow, and not at all practical, they remind me of emptiness.
The future will be dark and you will get your sunshine from a plush object with no eyes or character. Your life will be bleak and hostile, and you will seek friendship and affirmation of a synthetic love-type emotion from this object. Do not press or hug it too tightly, care for your assigned light-plush with blank wistful stares and gentle attention. You cannot remember the past quite clear, you were not told the truth about what happened, but you take your breakfast pill and put on your silver jumpsuit and feel almost nothing substantial. For fun these days, we meet in groups with our plush and laugh in hollow tones, and smile big. There is nothing to smile about, there is no crackers and cheese, there is no Pictionary, there is no rum or beer. Radiation from the collection of plush gives off a smile-inducing effect. It last for four hours, and then it is time to stop smiling and go home.
I just see these stories coming out of the pictures. I might have read something like it when I was a pre-teen. I think these pillows are weird. The one on the bottom with two smiling women looks like the one on the right is breast-feeding her pillow, or cuddling them like children.

K T G—brilliant!
I especially love: "Radiation from the collection of plush gives off a smile-inducing effect. It last for four hours, and then it is time to stop smiling and go home."
I don't want one any more.

Late to the party, as I'm catching up on AT for the week, but I have to nominate KTG for the best comment here ever.
That really was some smart stuff. I'm still laughing.
