Description
This little mosquito button from the Classic Jokes range packs four sound effects into a round yellow case small enough to hide in the palm of your hand. It is a toy sound machine built around one of the most familiar summer nuisances, the mosquito, and it does its job with very little fuss. The face is pierced with neat rings of tiny holes for the speaker, and the whole button measures 4.6cm across and just 1.4cm deep, so it sits flat and keeps a low profile wherever you leave it.
Where you put it is half the fun. Slip it into a coat pocket, tuck it beside the books on a shelf or leave it in a desk drawer at the office, then press the button and let the sound do the rest. Each press moves on to the next of its four effects, so you can change things up while everyone else is still looking around for the culprit. It suits anyone with a soft spot for a good old-fashioned joke, and it makes a cheerful small present for the person you know who is always first to laugh at a harmless prank.
The button is made of plastic and metal and runs on three LR41 button batteries, so you know exactly which cells to pick up when it needs fresh power. Its light, compact body slips into a pocket or a bag without adding any bulk, and the round shape sits comfortably under a thumb for a quick, discreet press. To keep it looking bright, wipe it over with a soft dry cloth now and then and keep it away from water. We think it works best as a surprise: hand it over on its bright backing card, or tuck it in alongside a larger gift, and let the first press speak for itself.
