Thanks to everybody for the suggestions. I ended up getting a five-pack of keychain lights, and some LED nightlights for my mom.

Good choice!

Although I will regret not being able to say “I know someone who bought some Liquid Ass” unless I can talk someone else into it. 🙂

Maybe 2,000 used books for a penny apiece? The catch is, those always ship as separate purchases, so there will be 3.99 shipping for each one.

Unless you are a Prime member and the seller forgets to throw the setting marking them as eligible over to not eligible. It happens; and sellers _hate_ when it happens.
