Seasonal Gadgets: Christmas Tree Projector and USB Christmas Tree
The Holidays are upon us and again we’re greeted with the sense of impending doom urgency as we try and get everything spiffed up for the season. I could just imagine everyone trying to liven up houses and workplaces. As someone who works on a tiny desk more than eight hours a day, I’d sure love to get a taste of the Christmas season on my small space. The USB Christmas tree would look great next to a monitor, don’t you think? You can plug your miniature tree into the USB port of your computer and it’s good to go. It works on any operating system and blinks four different colors — purple, blue, red and green — so your desk reflects the gaiety of the season. Just make sure your boss approves lest you get fired right before Christmas. You can buy the USB Christmas tree in Santa’s toy factory Gadgetshop.
On another note, if you’re short on time like I am, and don’t have enough to spare to set up a full-fledged Christmas tree, then you’re one lucky guy/gal to have been born at a time when there’s something such as the Christmas Tree projector. Made of plastic pipe with ends of thin plywood from which the Christmas tree figure is carved out, you can carry this baby anywhere with you. The gadget features three different color LEDs — green, white and red. The green stays on for the body of the tree while the white and red LEDs blink to provide verisimilitude to the illusion. With this, setting up a Christmas tree is as easy as setting the projector on a surface and enjoying the view. The best thing about the Christmas tree projector is you don’t have to worry a jot about cleaning up the decors and you can have your Christmas tree any time of year — how cool is that?
