Fab Finds Friday: 10 Goofiest USB Gadgets

Posted by Andrea on November 6th, 2009. Filed under: fab finds friday.

Just when you thought there wasn’t much more that your computer could do, along come these devices, powered via USB. Here are a few of my favorites.

Desktop Vacuum Cleaner
In case you don’t get enough of vacuuming at home, you can now Hoover at the office. Great for clean-up after eating at your desk.

“Fundue” set
Perfect for that 3pm chocolate craving and a great way to make new friends at the office.  Melt a Hershey’s bar from the break room vending machine and you’re good to go.

Heated Booties
Offices are notoriously cold. (Probably because they’re trying to keep us from not falling asleep at our desks). Toast your tootsies with these cute boots. Also available in powder blue.

Ferris Wheel Phone Stand
Apparently having your phone ring or vibrate isn’t enough for some people. For them, there is this gadget. You park your phone in the slot and when it rings the ferris wheel turns.  (What on earth made someone think up this thing?)

Stress Panic Button
Playing solitaire on company time? Connect this to computer and hit it when you need to hide it quickly from view. It will immediately launch one of three screensavers: (1) Bunch of bombs going off (2) An Excel spreadsheet doc to make you look like you’re working diligently or (3) A “boss” screensaver of a man’s face…in crosshairs. Oh yes, that’s totally inconspicuous. No one will ever have any reason to wonder that you’re up to no good.

Disco Ball
In case you ever want to bust a move at your desk. Really set the party mood with this illuminated, spinning disco ball. Additional benefit: Makes you look like you’re really serious about your job.

That’s the way uh-uh, uh-uh I like it. Combine these with that disco ball above and turn your dreary cubicle into a….um, rockin’ “CLUBicle”?
