Tough economic times are hitting everywhere, and the holiday gift giving tradition hasn't been granted financial immunity. People are thinking twice before buying big ticket toys, instead opting for smaller, more thoughtful gifts.
If you're continuing the retail tradition of gift giving, take a look at some USB gadgets which may just quench your gifting desires, especially for coworkers.
There's the wildly popular USB Humping Dog! 
For about $12 you can be the hit of the office (or be sent to Human Resources department, depending on the work environment).For your hostile work environment, try a Desktop USB Missile Launcher, sure to win friends and overpower cubicles.
There are USB Fans, and there are fans:
Know a Doctor Who Fan? get a Doctor Who Tardis USB 4 Port Powered Hub Station.
Star Wars fanatics? How about USB R2D2 or Darth Vader Collectible USB 4-port Hub.
And who doesn't know at least 10 Simpsons fans? For them, a Jumpin’ Banana Simpson’s USB Desk Light.
For your Environmentally friendly pals, get them a USB Robot Owl.
Seems like the list of USB gift ideas just goes on. Here is a list from Amazon's USB Toy shop. http://www.tinyurl.com/Cool-USB-Gadgets
