[jamie.91]

hey CPF

i was wondering, with it coming up to christmas and people giving lights as gifts, how to you present them ?

i have got my dad a lumapower LM31 but i dont want to give it him in a scabby blister pack lol

hopefully here we could share some ides on how to present lights as gifts i.e presentation boxes and where to get them lol

i hope this thread also has a relevance to some other people on CPF

thanks jamie

I've ordered 5 of those: http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.28548

As I know DX, they'll just come in some bubblewrap.
I dunno yet how to pack them - just wrapping them like candy would be an idea. Would accentuate their small size, altough I don't know if that is such a good thing...

I only hope that
1. they arrive by christmas
2. they'll work

edit: Yes I know that they're shown with packaging. But the manufacturer may have left out the packaging by now, or DX removes it because I ordered with bulk rate rebate. And besides, look at the package... cheaply made and full of spelling errors/general engrish weirdness. Some sort of gift box would surely look better.

The Pelican cases are good from lighthound etc.

If the light has enough runtime, how about freezing it inside a block of ice while it's running and then present it that way before the cells are depleted (AA lithiums maybe?).

LoL.. Nice idea, this would also demonstrate the lights durability to a non-CPFer.. :twothumbs

I bought 6 Maratac AAAs for my family (and one for myself), and of course they just came in little plastic bags, so I found some little pretty Christmas-y boxes to put them in. Not exactly elegant, but it gets the job done. I just hope they'll be amazed by the light enough to forget about the packaging.

I like this; very cool and creative idea for presentation.

Only if the light is waterproof...

One bunch of relative's who wouldn't know a Maglite from an M6 seemed to appreciate the Romison RC-N3's from shiningbeam. Not too expensive but well built and versitle.
