The present disclosure includes, systems, devices, and methods for sterilizing objects, such as gaming equipment or gaming pieces. Some aspects include a sterilization device configured to be integrate with, or coupled to, gaming equipment to sterilize a plurality of gaming pieces. The device may include a housing defining a chamber configured to receive a plurality of gaming pieces and one or more light source(s) coupled to the housing and configured to emit ultraviolet (UV) light toward the gaming pieces.

A kaleidoscope has an inside scaffold that allows the kaleidoscope to be used as both a toy and packaging for merchandise. The kaleidoscope preferably has a body with a chamber at one end that includes freely movable ornaments. A cap having an eyehole is configured to matingly close the body. Inside the body, three or more reflective surfaces are positioned at an angle to each other to form a polygon. The scaffold is disposed in the body, surrounded by the reflective surfaces, and has a cross-sectional shape sized and dimensioned to prevent the scaffold from moving or rotating relative to the reflective surfaces. Preferably, the scaffold has a polygonal cross-sectional shape substantially similar to the polygon formed by the reflective surfaces. A product (e.g., a lipstick) can be stored inside the scaffold without being able to move freely inside the kaleidoscope.
