    Default What are these little things?

    My guild has a general drawing for gift bags each month. The bags are contributed by members who had a birthday that month. I was one of the lucky winners at last night's meeting, and received some beautiful FQs, a little coin purse, a mitred-binding tool, and several other goodies. These little plastic things were also in the bag, and I can't figure out what they are. Any ideas?

    Are they needle threaders?

    I think they are lights that slip over your finger.

    Maybe in bag by mistake ? I belonged to a friend birthday club. Someone got a gift once and inside (besides the intended gift) was the giver’s iPad. She had no idea it was in there.

    Agree!

    Even if you do get it figured out, take them back to the meeting and asked in the open session.
    How many others have received items of which they have no clue in the past?
    Perhaps valuable items have been pitched in the trash? or re-gifted via this same draw system?

    Perhaps by bringing it forward, others will take note and include a note in the future!

    I can't see any place to insert a needle or thread.

    My initial thought was lights too, I don't see any way to turn the light on. I looks like the small end might plug into something, but what? There is a kind of elastic band around the plastic, but it's too tight to slip over my finger. I do think you're on the right track with lights though.

    I thought about it being a mistake. Or maybe someone put it in there just to drive the recipient nuts?
