Last year these were mentioned over and over again on here for sticking fillers. I bought some for the DCs (10 and 8). I found one while tidying up this week and thought to myself what a waste they were, never got used once. Anyone else?

My kids 1 and 4 loved them! They are in the kitchen drawer and still come out occasionally now

These were my best buy last year! DS loves them & keeps them beside his bed for bedtime light shows.

Loved them-one of our advent activities was going out for a 'lit up' walk-we all wore them & danced about with colours trailing everywhere & provided some fab photos!

Maybe I'll get them out again once the evenings get darker. If I can find them!

My 16 year old ds puts them on, turns all the lights off and plays the guitar for hours on end.

It looks awesome!

My grankids loved them. They had finger light discos in their bedroom.

My 7 year old loved them, uses them all the time to play under the duvet in a den, and especially when we were at a festival everyone wanted them

My Dad had the end of his finger amputated last week. I'm going to buy him some light up fingertips for Christmas... Life a prosthetic fingertip.

Ours were blu-tacked to the top of DS's fireman sam rescure vehicles as real life emergency lights and most of xmas day was spent in darkness so he could play/use them as disco lights/try to attach them to the cats tails. He is very heavy handed so they broke pretty quickly tho thank god.

I bought loads of them and put them on the dogs collars so we can see them in the dark. The kids still play with them occasionally.

They have so many uses! Ours have all gone missing so I've ordered some more but one turned up yesterday and the DTs used it as a light in the dolls house. The elastic bands have all come off though.

DH and I also used them when we had friends round on new year's eve
