Welcome, dear readers, to another installment of Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, a weekly perusal of the best and worst in just-announced gizmos.
On the docket this time around are wireless Christmas lights, solar-charging jackets, a speed-reading wearable and much more.

Liberating the Christmas Tree
It's almost as if the creators of the Aura Wirelessly Powered Christmas Lights expected a crowdfunding campaign at this time of year would be a smart move.
These lights aren't attached to long power cords designed to snake along, around and through the tree branches.
Instead, they come with a separate power ring that wirelessly powers the bulbs decorating the tree.
Naturally, there's a smartphone control app in the offing as well.
It's a decent idea, though I suspect it's one that other, more accomplished makers of bulbs and lighting equipment may be mulling.
I wonder how long we'll have to wait before Philips barges into the mix with a Hue-powered option for different moods and configurations.
