 Top 15 USB Geek Gadgets: Christmas Trees

This one is seasonal but we kinda like it all year ‘round. It's the USB Xmas tree! Put one on your desk and another on your monitor and let the glowing LEDs shine bright. Simply plug into any USB port and the LEDs will cycle through 6 colors, stopping on each color for about 5 seconds. Transitions through red, blue, green, purple, white and light blue. What more could you want?
