Dryer notification idea

I'm looking for a small light up button or something I can use so my wife can see when the dryer is done. I'm going to use a vibration sensor. And was thinking of a small led sign but looking for other ideas also

I've got a Divoom Pixoo 64. It's got an API I can call in order to send animated GIFs to it, so I use that when the washer and dryer are done.

The Pixoo 64 isn't cheap, but I use it for a few notification types (e.g. as a bin indicator to remind me which bin goes out that night) and it's fun to rotate through some nice GIFs
