Christmas Tree Color Wheel

$35

BUY NOW

This retro, rotating gadget probably projected four shades of light onto the aluminum tree in your family's living room throughout the '50s and '60s—and it's still going strong today. For a modern update, you can always skip the color wheel and try a pre-lit tinsel tree that changes colors on its own.
