box of sunshine
This is a box that contains a beam of golden, smiling light. Or maybe it's not a beam, but a collection of motes. What with the dual nature of light, y'know, it's hard to tell whether it's a beam or some motes.
It used to be that sunshine came in bags, but people didn't think that was very useful.
