$12.99
Ghost · battery-operated · white body · Exact item 00632550

WHY IT WORKSPressing the head controls the light; it can glow white or purple or switch between them. The timer offers 30-minute or eight-hour settings.
THE CATCHTwo AA batteries are extra. Decorative glow is not reading light. Use it indoors and follow the battery and age instructions.

$1.99

BEST FORSomeone who needs a reusable gift container.
WHY IT WORKSThe spider print packages the surprise and can later hold seasonal decorations. It keeps the container budget small.

See the exact product at IKEA ↗Choose for the person
The lamp suits someone who wants a little glow on a side table. The ceramic trio suits a collector of miniature decorations. These are decorative gifts, not trick-or-treat toys for small children. Ceramic pieces are breakable; keep them on a stable surface away from young children. Secure the lamp battery compartment and follow its indoor-use instructions.
Keep the total useful
The flexible spider bag is an optional container, not a rigid basket. Check packed dimensions rather than assuming every gift box fits. Shipping or a separate trip can erase the saving; use a container you already own when that is easier. Include batteries in your own budget if the lamp should work immediately.
