Every time I look up at the calendar another day seems to have been stroked off, bringing us ever closer to Christmas. Hopefully by now the major part of your Christmas shopping has been completed, and perhaps now you are just looking for a few stocking filers to finish things off. Well you could do a lot worse that picking up a few usb goodies to finish things off.

How about this cool usb whack it game, which is both fun an therapeutic as you get the chance to send little peek-a-boo monsters back into their hole. Okay it may be as satisfying as the original arcade game, when you had a giant hammer to do your bashing, but I can see this one becoming quite addictive. I would ever consider naming each of the little creatures, perhaps around your colleagues in the office - making it much more satisfying to poke them on the head.

Now of course when your workmates find out that you have named a green blob after them they may be after your blood. Protection is therefore the order of the day with this usb missile launcher. Software include, which once installed on your PC, allows you to take control of the mini launcher to seek out your targets - proper war-game stuff and this made me feel like some kind of mini general in a war movie. The missiles themselves are made of foam so no danger of hurting someone - unless of course you are into the moding business, then you could have all sorts of fun - of course not that I would advocate that sort of behaviour.

Finally, after all that bashing and war-games, you may be wanting to calm things down and that’s where the usb aquarium comes in. Simply plug it in, fill it with water, drop in the supplied jellyfish and you are all set. [note please be careful when dealing with water and electronics] The LED lights makes this a pretty addition to any desktop, especially at night, making it a reasonable night light as well. You can even take your aquarium with you as it also is powered by batteries.

So there you have it, some usb stocking filers, which although seem a little geeky, could be the perfect final item in your geeks stocking this Christmas.
