i'm looking for a small lamp that i could use as a night light. it's going in my child's room & will not be plugged flush against the wall like most night lights. where can i get a small lamp (that uses the same size/watt bulbs as night lights) or night light w/ an electrical cord to plug into a wall? help?? |

A couple of years ago I got a "heart light" for my daughter at target. It took a low wattage bulb, worked perfectly and cost about 5.00 I've seen them there since. |

My sister bought one a few years ago for my nephews from Kids R Ys. It's a basketball lamp that is meant to be used as a 'night light.' It gives off just enough light to enable you to see where you're going when the room is dark; but not enough to tell the difference in what color something is or to read.
They had lamps for a girls' room as well. |

i got a lamp at Target for my dtr. also. It looks like a crystal chandelier and hangs from the ceiling, but just uses a little night light (pink in this case). |

Check Ikea. They have a wonderful selection of small table lamps. |

Second Ikea--they have a lot of lamps that use small bulbs.
When my daughter was little, there was no outlet in her bedroom that was convenient to put a nightlight in. I put a dimmer switch on the ceiling light and we dimmed it down to whatever level she was comfortable with. (She is 19 now and still doesn't like total darkness at night.) |

My husband bought one of our kids a globe light at CVS by Whole Foods for about $20...it's cool b/c it has 3 (low, lower, lowest) levels of light that are turned on/up/off by touching the globe...it gives a nice glow & maybe they learn geography by osmosis?! It's less than/around a foot tall. |

I was in Toys R Us today and saw this lamp. I almost bought it for you; but the lines were way too long. I also got yelled at when I started to take it out of the box.

taam-
Link? If you do go to Toys R Us, I just realized it's the one on Route 22 near the Kohls. If you can't go to that one the Livingston one should have lamps; right? I have to go down there tomorrow during the day, I could pick it up for you. I think it was $20. I thought of something after I posted the picture last night. None of us asked if your child was a boy or girl or how old your child was. Toys R Us has some other cute Teddy Bear type lamps; but they are more for real young children. |
