This Long-Distance Friendship Lamp Will Light Up For Your BFF Any Time You Touch It

As we get older and adult life takes over, it’s a sad fact that many of us end up moving further away from the people we love than we’d like to be. Long-distance friendship isn’t easy and takes a lot of effort to maintain, but these interactive lamps from Uncommon Goods** can make the distance so much easier to bear.

  1. They light up for your BFF when you touch them. Imagine sitting there reading a book or watching TV when a little lamp on your table begins to glow in soft colors, letting you know that your BFF is thinking about you on the other side of the country (or the world). That’s sure to warm your heart and bring a smile to your face, right?
  2. How does it work? The lamps come in sets of two, one for you and one for your friend. Both of you set them up via WiFi, which links them to one another. Once they’re set up, whenever you touch your lamp, your BFF’s will glow and vice versa. You can even set it so that it glows a specific color for them, making it even more personalized and special.
  3. It can even accommodate groups of friends if you have more than one BFF. Say there are five of you who have had a strong friendship group since college. Well, you can buy the Long-Distance Friendship Lamps in sets of two or in singles, meaning no one has to miss out, and all of them can be linked. As I mentioned already, you can even assign everyone a specific color so you’ll know that when it glows pink, for example, who the person is who’s thinking of you all.
  4. It’s a unique way to stay together when you have to be apart. Not being able to see the people you’re closest to all the time really sucks, but having something like a Long-Distance Friendship Lamp to say hello quickly when you’re missing your girls (or guys) helps a bit. You can get them from the Uncommon Goods website for $85 each or $170 for a set of two.
