It's summer time and don't you wish you could just "bottle" all the great sunshine and save it for a rainy day or at least extend the day a bit. Now you can with Sunjars.

For those who love the sunlight as much as I do, this is a unique creation from Tobi Wong stores the sunlight-- just so that you can have the soft glow of sunlight surrounding you as the twilight diminishes for a romantic evening for 2 or with several for a party that will bring out the Fireflies and party peeps. Scatter them across a patio or garden (think of it for Halloween, holiday parties, birthday parties, weddings) and across a table or tote a couple with you for some seriously romantic beach glow.

How does it work? Give it serious sun time during the day and it radiates a sun-like brightness that's made possible by modern technology - some LED's, a solar panel and some ingenious thinking ( a Wong trademark) .
The sandblasted glass makes it seem as if it truly emits warm sun light. It is a great little idea for an outdoor summer dinner, where you have the jars scattered around the table, or an evening at the beach where they will provide just the right amount of light, or as garden illumination, just position them at strategic points in your garden or rooftop terrace or balcony - they work equally well in either location.

This is the "unlit" version.
