DECOR: Glowing Straws

Here's a new way to dress up cocktails: OmniGlow's Glow Motion straws contain miniature light capsules that glide up and down the straw as you sip (but won't slide into your mouth or your drink, because the straws narrow at both ends). The glow sticks are lit by the same process as those ubiquitous glow necklaces--with chemicals that interact when the stick is bent, but are non-toxic and don't give off heat. Available in several colors from Paramount Party Supplies, the bobbing lights can add a new twist to the bar scene at a reception. And if you really can't get enough luminescence, OmniGlow has an entire line of glowing products, including stick-on badges that can be printed with a corporate logo, and glowing wafers (like ravers use) designed to fit in your mouth. --Samantha Melamed
