One of those el-cheapo "fairy light"[1] things (a strand of multi-color LED's that can change color, blink, etc). I bought this as a lark when I was re-organizing my electronics lab area at home and strung the lights on and around the rack that holds part of my test equipment, and across to the rack that sits on my bench. Put it in "change color" mode and haven't touched it in over a year. The thing just sits there and shines and changes colors. That's it. Dead simple, stupid, cheap, and meaningless. And yet it brings me joy for some reason. Just about every time I walk through that room I find myself smiling and thinking "I'm so glad I bought that."
It's not really rational and I can't really explain it, but I just really enjoy it for some reason. shrug
