Holiday season means everyone everywhere is selling Christmas themed merchandise. Which is not bad in itself, since you can usually find pretty cool things among all the junk.

I’m not quite sure where the USB Fiber Optic Christmas Tree fits in. It’s does exactly what the name says: you plug it into your USB port and the fiber optics make pretty colors (or just put in two AAA batteries). It’s 31 cm tall and weighs 170g. not too big and not too small, either.

It could make a nice office decoration if you’re a cubicle monkey and aren’t allowed more, but it looks pretty tacky to me. I wouldn’t use it at home, there’s better Christmas tree gadgets out there.

However, if you want to light up your office a bit, now is the best time to buy - this tree is on sale.
