1. A Solar Jar sure to please the best dinner party host you know, or anyone into home decor.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The Solar Jar is a very nice item! When I pulled the Solar Jar from the package, I literally stated, 'Oh this is cute,' and began thinking of ways that I wanted to utilize it. It is great for outdoor light on the patio, while enjoying a nice after-dinner drink, or for taking an evening stroll. I also enjoyed using it as I sat in bed at night, watching TV and wanting a little bit of light, without having to reach up to the ceiling fan to pull the light cord. The Solar Jar came pre-charged, and lasted a few days (although not used constantly). The difficult part for me, was keeping the Solar Jar charged, but I don’t blame it solely on the product. We did have some sketchy weather days, so make sure sunny conditions are a constant. You almost have to treat it like you would solar powered walk-way lights, leave it in the sun, and it will turn on naturally." –Amanda Wynter

The handmade Solar Jar is made by Sonnenglas, a startup company in South Africa that employs over 60 previously unemployed people from the townships, and promotes their training and education. Sonnenglas was designed as a source of light for parts of Africa with no access to the power grid, and is made of recycled materials.
