FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(Coppell, TX.) - Gemmy Industries, an industry leader in the areas of lifelike animation and innovative technologies, premiered their My Pet Firefly™ as a party favor at the star-studded wedding of Country music's hottest couple, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.

My Pet Firefly™ is a series of fun, comically styled fireflies set in glass jars. The ‘firefly’ flutters and flies around the inside of the jar with a realistic motion. True to its name, the firefly also lights up with an ultra-bright LED light that closely mimics the bioluminescence of a real firefly. The custom sculpting on the glass helps to further diffuse the light to create a dazzling spectacle. The patented technology at the core of the product creates movement within the jar that appears to be truly random. The user may also direct the firefly to flap or flutter its wings on command by tapping in a pre-programmed sequence on the jar or lid. Three colors are available in the My Pet Firefly™ line: pink, blue and traditional green.
