The USB Humping Bunnies are not much different than the USB Humping Dogs at least when we are talking about their purpose, which is just the same – to entertain you and your friends for a while. When you plug one of these USB Humping Bunnies in your laptop it will start humping it and that is what is fun about them, at least for a while, plus the bunnies look cuter than the dogs, although that depends on your personal preferences. The USB Humping Bunnies have one advantage over the dog version, because they come with 1GB built-in flash memory, which makes them somewhat useful and not just some weird and fun gadget.

This USB Humping Bunnies are blind-boxed, which means you’ll be totally surprised by what you get. Blind-boxed items come sealed from the manufacturer, without any clue on the color or type of bunny until you open the box, so you’ll be surprised when you open the box.

If you still fancy a good old retro alarm clock you’ll like this cool product by Thanko Japan. This gadget looks just like a real retro alarm clock, but it has MP3 support and a USB plug that allows you to customize its alarm sound. You just need to connect the USB cable to your PC and upload a short MP3 music file to the clock that you want to be played back when it is time for the alarm to sound. The software is pretty simple and easy, and the only downside is that there is no snooze button, but that’s now such a big problem anyway. That is because you have to flip a switch on the back of the clock in order to stop the alarm and in order to do this you’ll have to be pretty much awake, but the best part that you’ll wake you to the sound you choose. The MP3 clock is also a great gift idea for everyone.

If you are looking for a fun and really addictive gadget for a gift this is the perfect choise given the upcoming holidays are quite close. Puchi Puchi is the onomatopoeic name for this delicious cell phone strap/keychain adornment. In Japanese, “puchi” is the sound that bubble wrap makes when you pop the bubble. This little device has eight bubbles for unending popping fun. A small speaker does a pretty convincing pop sound and, much more importantly, the tactile feel is pretty authentic.

It’s meditative, it’s cheap, and it’s a great gift for yourself or somebody else since the idea is so simple, clever, and unexpected. Just don’t get too addicted to this because with Puchi Puchi the bubbles never end…

The Puchi Puchi Bubble Wraps cost $15 each.
