For those who are looking to use their computer in an interesting and sometimes humorous way, USB ports can assist them in their endeavors.  Gadgets and other fun devices are sold online and in some stores for reasonable prices.

 

Fiber Optic Christmas Tree

For holiday excitement, fiber optic Christmas trees are available as USB plug-ins.  They stand approximately six inches tall and even have a battery-powered option in case the USB ports are full.  Lights pulsate and create an ambience suitable for that special time of year.  Office workers find these adorable and they cost a mere ten dollars online.

 

Heated Blanket

Powered solely through USB ports, this blanket can keep users toasty as they work at their desks.  They can be useful on flights or in hotel rooms where the temperature is not suitable and cannot be altered enough.  Although this gadget does use two USB ports instead of one, many would argue that its plush comfort is worth the additional power needed.  The size is perfect for one’s lap because it measures 31 inches by 17 inches.

 

Wall Outlet

On the more serious side, and since everything needs additional USB space anyway, why not replace existing wall outlets with those that include USB hubs?  These outlets can be substituted for regular ones, and they feature two additional USB ports.  Strategically locating this near desks or office cubicles can save workers time and effort.   Before doing this work, users should have a full understanding of replacing wall sockets and their covers.  By doing this, consumers can double the purpose of their existing outlets!

 

No matter the reason for needing USB power, users can be sure to find the device they need.  With many to choose from, all desires can be met either online or through computer stores themselves.
