If you feel like your co-workers just don't ostracize you enough, these fuzzy bear and rabbit USB hand warmers are sure to do the trick. "Why does that guy have his hands jammed into a stuffed animal's esophagus?" they'll ask.

Though I've had the good fortune to have never worked in an office, I have seen every episode of "The Office" and thus feel qualified to say that wearing these things are a surefire way to turn you into a weirder, colder, and furrier version of Dwight (or Gareth, or whoever fills … Read more

Those of you who've adopted frugality during this recession know that packing a lunch is one of the best ways to cut down on spending. But waiting in line to use the microwave, washing your Tupperware out, and having your lunch stolen from the company refrigerator can make saving a few dollars everyday quite inconvenient.

The USB LunchBox Warmer, by the Hong Kong-based company Brando, keeps your leftovers and homemade lunches toasty hot. Just plug it in to your computer--which acts a power source--via the included USB cable and you're ready to eat a piping hot meal at … Read more

I like it. I like it a lot. It's a fridge. It's a food warmer. It's a Mini Fridge-Warmer from Think Geek. As the name implies, this combination appliance can cool down drinks or keep lunches warm. With a temperature ranging from 44 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, this dual-purpose fridge is sure to keep you cool...or warm...or somewhere in-between.

The Mini Fridge-Warmer boasts a 20-liter capacity while maintaining a relatively small footprint. It reaches a height of about 17 inches, and the base of the appliance holds its footprint down to a little larger than … Read more

Making sport of Hong Kong-based Brando is something of a popular pastime here at Crave (can you blame us?), but we should give the company its due respect in the latest of its wares. Unlike so many other of its products, its USB cup warmer actually incorporates some useful functions and doesn't look like it came free with a 12-pack of Charmin.

In addition to heating your chai latte, it has a USB hub that includes four ports and even has a small LCD clock that indicates the temperature. That could be either good or bad, depending on your … Read more

We realize that hands aren't the only body parts that get chilled at the computer, but ... knees? It's one thing if you're arthritic, but otherwise--well, never mind.

If you really do suffer from unusually cold patellas, take heart: Vavolo has introduced the "Warmmi USB Heating Knee Pads" to save the day. At least it's not a Hello Kitty lap warmer.

It's no secret that a certain other Craver delights in tormenting us over our sanriophobia, so we are posting this item to beat her to the punch. The "Hello Kitty USB Lap Warmer" really needs no explanation, as it's yet another obvious sign of the downfall of global civilization. (Engadget was equally speechless.) We think it may be a ploy to emit brainwashing pro-Kitty waves through electrical pulses.

We think we've finally figured out the strategy behind this whole heated peripheral craze (we're a little slow on the uptake this time of year): The colder it gets outside, the more products are released inside.

That's the only explanation we can come up with for the proliferation of such products as the heated mouse by Brando--which, if you can believe it, has come with its second version in almost as many months. The "USB Warmer Mouse II" seems almost identical to its predecessor but is a bit more stylish, coming in colors like red … Read more
