Don't shake this snow globe too hard

by Mike Yamamoto

We took an unofficial vow of temperance (not the alcohol kind) in blogging holiday-related items, but not for politically correct reasons. It's just that many of them are useless.

There are always exceptions, however, especially to any rules we half-heartingly make here at Crave, and this one from I4U News is one of them: a snow-globe USB mouse. Our only regret is that it's made by Thanko, a Japanese company that we find increasingly annoying because of its inane products.

Just don't make any Wii-like sudden movements with it. You wouldn't want to spill its stagnant water on your keyboard.
