As per today, we're completely sold out! 🤯
We truly appreciate your business, your support, your feedback, and your family's LuMi stories. 🩷 💚 🩵
Alex and I are contemplating our next move... The new import tariffs are on our mind as we're looking to potentially have our next batch of LuMis made. We aim to keep buying LuMi within reach for as many people as possible, but pricing may have to go up a little!
You might think, "Why don't you just have LuMi made in the US?" And the answer to that is that of course we would like to, but it would cost us and therefore you a good amount more. Even with tariffs.
Please bear with us while we figure this out!!

TingTing is guarding the last of our LuMi stock! 💂🏼😼
We have very few raspberry and a several pear ones left. Move fast to secure yours!
With import tariffs looming, we're looking into multiple options to have our next supply made. Whatever we decide, new stock is several months away, unfortunately.
Of course we'd all like to manufacture products in the US, but... that would make things a lot less affordable for everyone. Would you pay at least $10 more for LuMi? Let us know!

🏮 Happy Lunar New Year from Slinky! 🏮 🌙
This is the wood snake's year, which represents a time of growth, creativity, and introspection. Wood Snakes are known to be resourceful and adaptable, and we wish those qualities serve you well as you navigate life this coming year. Focus on self-development, cultivate relationships, and pursue long-term goals with patience and diligence. 🐍
No Asian holiday would be complete without loooootttttttss of eating while visiting family and friends for a full 2 weeks. Every bit of traditional LNY food has symbolic meaning, such as rice balls for unity, noodles for longevity, and whole fish for prosperity and abundance. And don't even think about cleaning your house on new year's day or you will sweep away all your luck!!!
Hope you enjoy celebrating with your friends or attending the celebrations near you! Gong Xi Fa Cai to all!! 🧧
P.S. thank you to our little feline friends Yuji & Soju for field testing Slinky with utmost joy and patience. 🐈️ 🐈⬛

Have you hugged an egg today?
Cold winter nights call for a a soft, huggable pillow to get maximally comfortable. Oh and wait: the pillow is a soft, ambient light, too!
Whether you need something to chase ghosts away–as is important to field tester J–or dial up the ambiance in your living room, Sunny the sunny-side-up-egg is here for it (although still in prototype stage)!

You are looking at the last of the blueberry LuMis: we are all sold out!
We do have a very small number of raspberry and pear LuMis still available.
Team Little Lantern trekked high up into the White Mountains and brought the last remaining blueberry LuMi along just in case we’d get lost and had to spend the night in the wilderness. Fortunately, that did not happen!
Grateful to have these beautiful mountains to roam around in, and happy that they were blanketed in a soft layer of fresh, powdery snow–especially because it hurt a little less when we wiped out: there was a layer of pure ice underneath!

Sending all our love to our customers, friends, and extended families affected by the fires in Los Angeles. We're heartbroken to see people having lost their homes with all their memories in it. ❤️🩹
I lived in California for a long time, and I loved the sunny and dry climate! I grew up in a grey and rainy country, so always being able to go to the beach, ride my bike, and camp any time of year was a huge plus for me. But not enough rain comes at a huge cost. And the changing climate does as well.
May the winds die down, and may you all be safe, heal over time, and have support from your loved ones and all the wonderful organizations on the ground that help people with clothes, shelter and funds. ❤️ 🩷 💚

Think you're too grown up for your LuMi nightlight? Don’t toss that module! 💡
At Little Lantern Studios, we embrace the philosophy of repairing, reusing, and repurposing. One of our initial field testers, WN—a devoted LuMi enthusiast—is always up for experimenting with fresh ideas.
As a solution, Alex crafted a flexible belt for him to attach his LuMi light module. Perfect for hands-free adventures in dimly lit areas or for enjoying a book in bed after dark! 📚️

(And yes, Sunny can also be used as a pet cushion! 😻)
Looking back at 2024, we had ups and downs, losing a job, and losing our beautiful orange boy Cassie in October. On the upside, we were able to visit with friends and family, and traveled to Greece for a wonderfully fun and relaxing vacation.
We also adopted 2 little kittens from a rescue down south to keep big brother TingTing company as he was missing Cassie so much.
LuMi-wise, we are sold out of Blueberry and almost sold out of Raspberry, too! We're looking into our options for a next batch, but it will be a little while.
Hope your year got off to a good start! ❤️

Who said light pillows can only be used indoors? 🤗
We invited customer J to be a field tester for Sunny, our first light pillow prototype. Clearly, he's taking it very seriously, even bringing Sunny to the beach! 🏖️
Before we make a decision about launching a new product, we want to ensure that it meets all the right criteria. And who better to assess this than our valued customers?! Thank you, J! 🩷
P.S. His mom said it's also perfect for hugging in the car.

The man behind the product–literally. 🙃
He's gone through maaannnnnny iterations over the years, and still isn't done perfecting LuMi! We're working on a next batch of LuMis with some changes to the light module.
We're also exploring new products, because although we know you love your LuMis, some new characters would be welcome. It takes time to do that, though! More about that in the next couple of months.
For now: hope you're enjoying your weekend! 👋🏼

Happy Halloween! It's not the only day of the year monsters and other scary beings come out to play, though... 👻 🎃 🧌
Many kids wake up every night because of monsters under their bed, creepy sounds, or just because they feel anxious in the dark.
But fear not! LuMi will snuggle with you through the night and keep all the scaries at bay with its soft, glowing light. It automatically turns itself off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. Machine washable, and super soft all around. 🏮

One more week! What will your child be for Halloween? Or you, if you are dressing up?
This was our first Halloween in America, many years ago, and our son went for the tried-and-true classic! It didn’t take long for this young immigrant to adapt to local customs and candies!
Enjoy getting ready!
