This new Kickstarter project is too elaborate to describe as just a light-up drink coaster. While it serves the purpose of luminously displaying drinks, the Leddie also corresponds with an app on your smartphone to remind you of events, texts and even social media notifications.
The Leddie is an LED pad that visually and phonetically alarms you of whatever you want to be reminded of. The sleek design will flicker in color or alert you through its built-in speakers. The round luminous pad can also be turned into a nightlight or lamp -- its sequence of lights also controllable. It's a very personalized experience because all settings of the Leddie can be adjusted on the app to suit your needs.
