One of the previous multi-tasking USB devices that we mentioned, could perform 4 functions, like working as a cup warmer, or a lamp. If you want something more simple, this 3-in-1 combo deserves a look.

It has four ports to work with all your USB devices, and the other two functions are pretty useful: thermometer to check the temperature, and clock that displays the time/date and features an alarm clock for the wake up calls.

It is cheap - $16 - and offers good functions for everyone, so don’t forget to add it to your gift list.
