One of my favourite USB-powered office gadgets is a mini fan, which was a birthday gift from a colleague. It provides instant cooling relief on a hot humid day, so I bring it with me, especially when I’m working at a cafe. Because I just have to plug it in and it’s all ready to use. It feels like no product is complete nowadays without somewhere to stick a USB into it or if it functions as a custom computer accessory.
- USB gadgets revolutionise workplace efficiency.
- Products offer unique branding opportunities.
- USB devices serve as thoughtful employee gifts.
USB-Powered Corporate Gift Ideas
While the purpose of USB-enabling some products is questionable, you should prepare yourself for the sheer amazingness of these functional promotional USB-powered gadgets; these are a must for your office desk.
Lunch options for the office worker can be difficult to master. While takeaways are delicious, shoveling down daily burritos and gourmet sandwiches can really eat away at your hard earned cash, whereas a cold packed lunch can leave you a little uninspired and communal office microwaves can be a little off-putting when no one owns up to the mess of spilt soup or offensively strong smelling curry. In comes the personal USB powered microwave:
I bet you didn’t know how much you needed one before finding out about their existence, right?
Lunch Accessories for Office Workers
Keeping with the theme of devices that keep food (or beverages) at the optimum temperature as you work – what’s the deal with cans of soft drink, am I right? When you first pull that fiendishly delicious and refreshing can from the fridge and crack it open it feels like you’re drinking the broth of the gods. If you’re a slow sipper like me who likes to savour their beverage over the duration of the afternoon, you’ll understand my issue. As soon as that can warms up to room temperature it tastes bloody awful. Thank god there’s a solution. Introducing the mini USB powered fridge.
The optimum size for your can of drink, this is ridiculously wonderful and I actually can’t believe no one got onto inventing this sooner. So beautiful…. I need a moment.
Custom Computer Mouse
Another amazing USB good to consider – the promotional computer mice. I know, I know computer mice have been around since computers first graced our office desks. But as many of us spend more time on laptops than full desktop monitor set-ups, mice have become insignificant. But they deserve a comeback – if not only for the ergonomic benefits, then for amazingly fun designs like this custom race car computer mouse:
If you don’t think setting up a little village out of stationary and ‘vrooming’ this thing around your desk isn’t the best stress buster ever, then we can’t be friends.
