I'm looking for some suggestions that Santa can put into the kids stockings.
My daughter is about to turn 4 and has been using an old Husky brand (Home Depot brand) 2xAA aluminum flashlight that looks like a Mini Maglight but it has a switch on the side barrel. I like the light because the incandescent bulb is dim enough for reading night time stories, it's water and shock proof, and is small enough for her to carry around easily. What I don't like about it is the button is currently failing after only a year of use and she un-screws the top off and snaps the bulbs trying to get the top back on which is annoying to discover just before bedtime. We did buy a Mini Maglight 2xAA LED as a replacement but she didn't like the twist to turn it on and off, and the light was too bright!
She uses it not only for stories but also for lighting up the hallway at night, scaring away monsters, and finding mom and dads room.
My just-turned-2 year old son really likes her flashlight and so it makes sense to get them both flashlights this christmas (from Santa, of course)
So, other than Maglight brand are there suggestions that you could make?
Thanks!
