Is the 3D Moon Lamp worth it?
Worth it for some. A reliable 'aww' gift. Skip the 16-color version; the two-tone one looks classier.
A moon lamp is a soft nightstand light with a realistic cratered surface; it is a safe gift for teens and partners, works as a kids' night light, and the 16-color versions are gimmicky where the warm/cool two-color ones look best.
Buy it if you…
- Teens
- couples
- kids who want a night light
- Anyone decorating a nightstand or shelf
Skip it if you…
- Reading light (it is deliberately dim)
