Imagine lying in bed as a celestial spectacle unfolds above; we’re talking a relaxing, intriguing Northern Lights effect hovering overhead and on surrounding walls, moving rhythmically to the beat of soothing music. This wonder-full device from the folks at Rosetta might be called a star projector, but in reality it’s an ambiance delivery system. That makes it a delightful gift for children of all ages as well as insomniacs — yep, it doubles as a white noise machine.

Why is it a good deal?

Normally, this would run you $60 — but right now it’s a sweet $36 (that’s 40% off). That’s a pretty great price for an incredibly popular multipurpose machine (it has over 14,000 flawless ratings). Sure, there are a lot of projectors out there that cost less, but many of those lack the white-noise features that make the Rosetta a sleep-inducing miracle.

Why do I need this?

You’ve heard of white noise machines, right? This goes a step beyond that. Not only does it have 16 different color schemes to choose from (you know, if instead of the starry night you want to see Jupiter up close and personal), but it also has five different speeds and eight sounds — from a crackling campfire to tumbling ocean waves — to help create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this is an excellent gift, especially if your special someone has trouble sleeping at night.

What reviewers say

One five-star shopper, who purchased it as a gift for his nieces reported that the kids “love this thing, since they are afraid of the dark.”

“Blissful peace,” gushed another, who bought the projector for herself. “The colors and color combinations are just gorgeous … The wafting flow of the aurora lights is relaxing and very close to nature. I really like the sound features; I myself prefer the flowing creek sound. I think this little compact portable light-and-sound machine is perfect for my needs.”

“This looks so cool in person, I was amazed when I first turned it on!” reported another happy shopper. I love it. I project it on my ceiling every night to wind down. It has a timer, and options to dim the lights/use select colors. I only wish the stars moved too, and I wish there was an option to have stars only.”

Customers say that the Rossetta Star Projector is even better than expected. A final fan shared: “I bought It for my daughter as a nightlight, but I ended up using it in my room. So many cool colors and functions.” And we’d agree — it’s one of those things you didn’t know you needed till you try it — and then you can’t live without it! It’s the perfect gift-to-self — and a unique present for a friend or family member’s next birthday. Buy and stash it now, while the price is so incredibly low.
