Did you know? Pedestrian accidents occur more frequently from dusk until nighttime, at a rate three times higher than during the day. You may think that drivers can see you when your headlights are on, but they may not see you as much as you think.
What safety precautions do you take when walking or cycling in the dark? Wearing Glimmis will alert drivers to your presence in the dark and prevent accidents. They're perfect for commuting to work or school, walking your dog, cycling or motorcycling, or walking at night.
Due to the long winters and short daylight hours in Northern Europe, both adults and children wear reflectors on their bags and jackets. Glimmis uses retroreflective material that reflects light back in the direction it was incident. This road safety accessory is made in accordance with European standards (EN17353) and is CE marked. It's perfect for yourself or as a gift for children, family, or friends.
Miffy (Dutch: nijntje, pronounced [ˈn-ij-n-tje]) is a fictional rabbit appearing in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. The original Dutch name, "nijntje", is a shortening of the diminutive konijntje, "little rabbit". The first Miffy book was produced in 1955 and almost thirty others have followed.
At first Miffy looked like a toy animal with floppy ears, but by 1963, her design was changed to her current incarnation, a stylized form of a rabbit. Miffy is drawn in a graphic style, with minialist black graphic lines. Bruna chose to only use black, white, the primary colours (red, yellow, and blue), green, orange, brown, and grey. It is his use of primarily primary colors that makes Miffy instantly recognisable, and also popular with preschoolers, because of her bright and intense simplistic colours. [Wikipedia]
