The Black Hole Light sounds lovely in theory - everytime you unzip your purse, the magnetic sensor turns the light on.

So now you can actually see what’s inside your purse, and not stab yourself on assorted things like that lone backless earring that you couldn’t bear to toss last fall when you lost its partner, the crooked safety pin (don’t ask) and the sharpened dowel thing with dirt on the end (really really don’t ask). Or get your fingers all icky because your lip gloss cap came unscrewed or someone stuck a used lollipop in there very recently (have I mentioned, don’t ask?).

That presupposes that you can actually fit one more thing into your purse. Even if I could, mine always seem destined to gape wide-mouthed. In other words, what do you do when you have a purse that’s so stuffed you can’t zip the thing up to start with.

(In case you were wondering what you do when you need to find something in a purse like that, you upend it (preferably on a convenient flat surface, and not all over the ground), and find what you need, then spend fifteen minutes stuffing everything back in again, muttering to yourself, “all this crap came outta here, logically it should all go back in. SHOULDN’T IT??”)

On the other hand, if you happen to be very organized (and prefer purses with zippers rather than a flap), this is probably something that will come in handy.
