A motion activated decorative article that includes a housing, and a perceptible output generator for generating an output perceptible by a person, with the perceptible output generator generating the perceptible output upon receipt of a trigger signal. A triggering circuit triggers the perceptible output generator by generating the trigger signal and passing the triggering signal to the perceptible output generator upon receipt of an activating signal. A movement detection circuit detects movement of the housing and generates an activating signal upon detection of movement and passes the activating signal to the triggering circuit. One detection circuit embodiment includes a pair of conductors on a surface in a substantially equidistant relationship to each other and in a spiral path, and a conductor member movable across the surface for creating an electrical connection between the conductors when the conductor member contacts portions of both conductors simultaneously.
