USB Snow Globe - What We Really Want for X'mas

This is by far the best USB X-Mas gadget we've seen to date. E-Let's in Japan has put together a very fine looking USB Snow Globe, complete with a decorated Christmas tree that lights up with LEDs, and a sleighing Santa underneath.

Apart from powering the LEDs, the USB connection also powers a miniature blower motor to keep the snow falling at an adjustable rate, and allows users to play back four songs to get you in the holiday spirit including Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon.

Unfortunately, unlike the Drumming Santa and LED Snowman / Xmas Tree we covered earlier this month, the USB Snow Globe will only be sold in Japan this year, hitting shelves in November for ¥4200 ($35).
