I know snow still lurks in my yard.

I know that just days ago, Washington D.C. got hammered with a record breaking snowstorm.

I know it is still considered winter — even though stores are starting to sell swimsuits.

But that doesn’t stop me from writing about my latest find — glow-in-the-dark Frisbees!  Wait, these are called light-up flying discs.  Frisbee is a registered trademark that others can’t use.

Actually, the real name is ‘Flashflight L.E.D. Light-Up Disc.’  It’s made by Nite Ize.  The flying disc is great for daytime use.  But a simple flick of a switch turns this flying disc into a glowing orb floating through the air (or rolling on the ground  . . . that’s how my disc throwing abilities go . . .)

The ad claims you get up to 100,000 hours of light.  Which to me is a life-time full of light — who in the world will every have the time to play with this toy for 100,000 hours, I ask you?

It come in green, red, blue and Disc-O (whatever color that is!)  They sell for $24.99.  They sell a Junior size which is smaller and cheaper and also the mini disc which is even cheaper and smaller yet.  I’ve just got to get several of each size!

When I saw this, my grandma ideas mind started chuggin’ away.  These would be great as a birthday present — especially for teen-aged grandchildren.  Or, for a unique Valentine’s present, Easter Basket stuffer, or Christmas present (if you as so organized that you are already thinking about Christmas 2010!).

It would be great to have a few of these on hand when your grandchildren come to play.  I can just imagine the fun night games you could play with these things.  Wouldn’t they be a hit at a family reunion, on the Fourth of July, or at a Halloween party?  Never a dull moment with these babies.
