Portobello Wooden Mushroom Night Light

The mushroom shape does exactly what a night light needs: the cap covers the source completely, so there is no bulb visible from any angle and no bright edge to catch a half-open eye. What you get instead is a small glowing dome, which is far easier to wake up next to.

Turning it in natural wood rather than molding it in plastic changes the character entirely. The grain runs across the cap, the surface is warm to the touch, and it reads as a small wooden object on a shelf during the day rather than as a gadget waiting for dark.

It is rechargeable and cordless, so it can move: a bedside one night, a landing the next, or carried like a small lantern to see someone downstairs. It charges over standard USB and holds enough for several nights at low output. Keep the charging port dry. In a small child's room, place it out of reach and supervise use.
