I’ve always been kind of messy when I eat. There are times I’m in need of a placemat because of this. The one I have is probably the Geekiest placemat you’ve ever seen. There’s LEDs right in it! You can turn it off and on, at your whim.

The placemat use bright white lights with durable LED technology. They twinkle and sparkle to add spice to your tables. They’re fun, bright and festive, so they’re great for entertaining or special nights. There are no wires, since they run off of batteries. Oh – and you don’t have to worry about spills, either. They’re treated with Scotchgard for easy spot-cleaning!

Moving along with the dining theme, you may want to set your drink down. We all know that the glasses will sweat with condensation. Well, then you need a coaster – especially if they have LED lights! These particular ones light up when you set your drink down on it. It illuminates based on pressure.

So there ya go – spice up your next gathering or dinner with these fun LED ideas.

When you have a glass or mug with condensation on the bottom, you should set it down on a coaster. You don’t want it damaging your furniture, right? If you’re going to use a coaster anyway, why not use a fun LED coaster? The Glowing UFO Drink Coasters are not only functional, they’re also a great conversation starter for your next party!

These drink coasters are designed to not only protect your furniture from condensation rings but also glow with an inner fire that illuminates your drinks. Simple pressure-sensitive pads in the base switch the coaster from blinking, to blinking between individual colors, to steady-on, so you can personalize your alcoholic experience. One coaster per unit purchased, so get as many as you need!

These are clear plastic drink coasters, with six LEDs inside of each of them. You can set them to flash between the red, green and blue lights, or light up all colors at the same time! They’re little LED lights attached to a circuit board, running off of the LR44 batteries. Even if you forget to turn these coasters off and kill the batteries, it’s cheap to replace them. You can buy like a hundred of them for about ten bucks.

I have four of these, because you can’t just have one. You need a full set! And if you allow your company to use glasses without coasters, you’re just crazy! These little things are really well made. They’ve done something to maximize the light that is emitted from your coaster. They’re really bright and the colors are excellent.
