GeekMomProjectsScored a stunning, sound-reactive LED pillow by <a href="https://leds.social/@flashingjanet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@flashingjanet</a> in a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a> and I have been carrying it with me and talking to it to watch it react. The black mesh cover creates a lovely moiré effect. Janet creates amazing LED wearables and decor and is worth following!

Janet HansenAnother video demo of my LED pillow, with a different animation effect, and different music. This pillow is going to <a href="https://leds.social/@GeekMomProjects" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GeekMomProjects</a> as part of our <a href="https://leds.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a>

BenFor the <a href="https://leds.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a> last week with friends, I made a POV clock. Using one RGB LED and a seven segment display, it draws up to 21 characters and a full circle of 180 virtual pixels on a spinning circular PCB. Loosely inspired by Bob Blick's "Propeller Clock."The <a href="https://leds.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a> is fantastic. I love seeing what they all come up with, and with all the fun of a white elephant. It was a fantastic excuse to learn some stuff and make a thing a friend will enjoy.

Sam EttingerOur <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a> happened on Wednesday, another moment where I'm bowled over by just how creative my friends and colleagues can be. My contribution was an inside joke. Did you know that, in Shenzhen, they'll let you print whatever you want on those shiny holographic security stickers?It wasn't till after the event that inspiration struck and I made this spool holder. It's got a post in the middle to hold the Pathé-Baby center alignment holes and lets you tear the sheet at the right spot.

GeekMomProjectsI made a PCB icosahedron for a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/makergiftexchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makergiftexchange</a>, learning a lot in the process. I wanted it to be see-through, so the sides have triangular holes containing etched acrylic pieces illuminated at the corners. Laser cut faux leather covers the outside. A <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pixelblaze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelblaze</a> controls the patterns.

Jason CoonI received this brilliant LED triple helix, a gift from <a href="https://leds.social/@graemegets" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@graemegets</a>! 🤩 This was from a gift exchange with a small group of maker friends. It came with 450 2mm LEDs on three thin strips, driven with a <a href="https://leds.social/tags/PixelBlaze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelBlaze</a> by <a href="https://leds.social/@wizard" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wizard</a>.

Jason CoonFor a gift exchange with a small group of maker friends, I took my few remaining Kraken and Chamaeleon LED PCBs, and made more compact battery-powered builds.

Alpenglow IndustriesI can finally share that secret project I was working on! It’s a giant Krampus, ta-da! Here’s a video where I talk about the interesting specialty LEDs I used and show you the electronics in back of it, all the while hugging my precious Krampus like a baby. More photos and details coming up in this 🧵 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MakerGiftExchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakerGiftExchange</a><a href="https://youtu.be/s4oirZ4b0b4?feature=shared" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/s4oirZ4b0b4?feature=shared</a>
