I bought my old man a USB cup/mug warmer as a joke present last year, and funnily enough he's used it ever since!

There seems to be no end of USB powered stuff nowadays though, glitter/lava lamps, desktop fans, I even saw some kind of USB desktop rocket launcher thing, I may be way off the mark but it seemed like you controlled/fired it from the computer, lol!

also found it slightly cheaper at:

My nephew has one of those, and I'm really jealous, cos I want one too!

They're awesome, you can fire them from your desktop

Can you actually aim with those and hit workmates who are getting on your nerves?

Would also be a perfect present for a good friend of mine... though we set a max budget of spending £15 on each other this year let me know if you find them cheaper anywhere! lol.
