Most of us have more USB devices than available ports on our computer, and this is where accessories such as the USB Santa Hub comes in handy. Unfortunately, it won’t really reflect well on your professional image since you might as well use Terry the Turtle as a greeter instead of a well-mannered receptionist. The USB Santa Hub also features glowing lights ranging from blue, green, purple, red, yellow and white whenever he remains plugged in to add to the festive mood, although corporate types probably won’t be too amused with the distraction. $7 is the asking price for the USB Santa Hub. I don’t know about you, but I would rather have a USB hub design that is able to last me all year round without being seasonal. What about you?

You definitely won’t be making any phone calls with the Classical Rotary Phone Style 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub, as it looks pretty much like a vandalized phone instead. If you take a closer look, you will notice that all the even numbers on the rotary dial has been removed (and these numbers are placed in an anti-clockwise manner, which is totally different from the rotary phones which I am familiar with when I was much younger) in order to accommodate all four USB 2.0 ports. Well, there’s no stopping you from looking foolish with this $8.23 gizmo if you have the heart for it, right?

I will never understand the way people flip out over bingo, maybe you have to be 75 with a busted hip to fully comprehend it. Which means still being a 20-something, not only do I not get it, I find the idea of spending even more money on a electronic bingo caller a bit hilarious. This seems like the gift you buy for Grandma that after you leave she starts complaining that she has no idea how to turn it on. Then once that is all figured out, she realizes that this takes away from her social bingo addiction and it ends up collecting dust in the back of the closet. The set includes the bingo caller, reusable dry-wipe bingo cards and marker pens. The set will cost you £19.99 or about $35 from Gadgetshop.

To keep in line with the Halloween spirit, here is the Mummy Tape that not only looks cute on your desk among the rest of the stationery, but it also does its job of holding a roll of tape using its tummy pretty well. Good to know it is heavy and can double up as an impromptu paperweight just in case you need one, so don’t worry about him rolling off your table and exploring the office all by itself in the middle of the night when everyone has gone back. Folks who want something alternative for a tape dispenser won’t go wrong with this 60mm x 160mm Mummy Tape, but I am pretty averse to forking out a whopping €29.95 for something like this.

Ant farms are one of those things I’ve never really understood why someone gets enjoyment out of them. However, at least the owners were watching real live ants. Now, you can actually pick up a virtual ant farm. The ant farm boasts having a calendar as well as a clock. The bright LED-backed screen make it so that even late at night you can peer in on your virtual ants. You can create ants that “build, create, maintain, and survive their digital nests.” How exciting, to pick one up it will cost you $99.
If you ever wanted to know how you measure up in the bedroom checkout the, Condometric, it kind of does what you’d expect. Roll on, read the measurement then jump into bed (or turn the lights out and sneak under the covers).
More info and pictures over on the Condometric.

I wouldn’t want something this ghastly to appear on my desktop, that’s for sure, but then again, there must be a reason why Brando has churned out the USB Key-pressed Ferris Wheel. Assuming there’s a sizable market for such an accessory, here’s more information on this foolish USB-powered peripheral. It lights up and spins whenever you type, slowing down to a stop when you take a break from the keyboard. Won’t be surprised if you’re slacking all year round only to find this connected to your PC by your boss one fine Monday morning in order for him to keep tabs on you from afar. The USB Key-pressed Ferris Wheel can be brought home for $30.

You might be a nerd, but I’m pretty sure there are times where you fantasized on how it feels like to be a jock, with a bevy of beauties cheering you on as you go up against another mate in a serious man-to-man arm wrestling fight just to win date rights with your target in a skirt. Snap out of that fantasy with this replacement - the Arm Wrestling game where the only sweat you’ll break won’t be from your biceps, but from your palm instead as you use your finger to hammer your player’s button as fast as possible. Whoever taps the fastest will be the winner. We all know just how good a man with a dexterous finger is now, don’t we, ladies? The Arm Wrestling game will cost you $24.95, making this a cheap way to settle disputes between two people.
