Choosing a gift for the person who has everything (or asks for nothing) is difficult. I usually spend days mulling over ideas and ultimately end up with something generic, like a gift card or a shipment of cookies. While there’s nothing wrong with those types of gifts, this year, I’ve got the hard-to-buy-for covered. (Plus, I’m also giving this to all the older kids and teenagers on my list.) What is this one-size-fits-all gift? It’s the Oneach 9” portable and rechargeable lamp from Amazon.
Standing 9 inches tall and available in five colorways, this cordless lamp features a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 32 hours on a full charge. It has three color temperature settings (warm, neutral, and cool-toned), making it ideal for everything from casting a warm glow to bedtime reading. A single tap switches between these settings, and because it’s dimmable, holding down the power button adjusts the brightness.
I originally found this lamp while searching for a light source for my kitchen counters. My eyes are particularly sensitive to harsh overhead lights (plus, I love a cozy glow), so I rely on lamps, sconces, and string lights in the evenings. I needed something small to fit the space under my cabinets, and since there are no nearby electrical outlets, a rechargeable option would have to do. What I didn’t know was that this lamp would be such a hit among my kids (ages 8 to 16) that it would never stay in the kitchen.
The Oneach lamp has now made it to multiple bedrooms, and when I sneak it back from one of my kids, I place it on my counter for the perfect warm glow or in my hutch, as it’s just the right size to sit on the smaller shelves and work as a night light. You never know what you’ll get when you buy an inexpensive item on Amazon, but this lamp is seriously high-quality. I chose the gold model, and it’s sleek. Its thick glass shade is mushroom-shaped, with a perfect modern yet vintage aesthetic that pairs well with all kinds of decor.
The Oneach lamp is available in five different-colored bases: gold, wood, green, pink, and orange. I’m giving my youngest daughter the pink version for her nightstand, and my mom will be getting the gold to sit on her kitchen countertop. It charges via an included USB-C cable, and at less than $35, it’s a unique gift that even the hard-to-impress will love.
