You don’t have to be young and afraid of the dark to appreciate the glow of a nightlight. They help us quietly navigate rooms and hallways when others are sleeping and let us see what’s ahead in empty rooms. Animal-themed lights are great for little ones and we love these Kozy lights small fry teddy bears ($9) because they are multifunctional, serving as stuffed animal and nightlight. Featured in Parents Magazine, these soft friends have tummies that gradually change colors. Twilight turtle’s glow also changes color as he sits on the floor, projecting a complete starry night sky onto the walls and ceiling of a dark room ($34). This multi-award winning nightlight also educates by including eight actual constellations, including The Big Dipper, in its star pattern. Buy it along with a twilight ladybug and get both for $65. We have to recommend Lumilove’s adorable animal nightlights (pictured) for the little ones. These are from the United Kingdom (about $50 each), and they’re soft, with flexible arms and legs, tummies that glow without becoming hot to the touch and are powered by low-energy LEDs. Choose from kitten, puppy, panda, elephant and rabbit designs. For the grown-ups, the selection of nightlights at Rosenberry Rooms will turn you on if you appreciate a “shabby chic” or retro look. These beauties are made to order in fabrics and colors you’ll adore, which means they take a few weeks to arrive. Check out the black western nightlight ($30) and the pink & green stripes with pink pom pom trim nightlight ($36) to get an idea of this company’s range. At Funky Lights, the variety is good and the look folksy. Example: the yellow moon night light ($40), a charming drawing housed in a hand-textured and colored copper frame. Finally, if great paintings are your thing, grab Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” nightlight ($25 from The Porcelain Garden Enlightened Art) or one of the other masterpieces turned into a teeny light.
