I voted for the USB drive. I could see everything else getting some use (except the banana, but that's too funny to vote for).

The ornament ball digi photo frame is a nice idea. If they made it flat, enough memory for, like, 5 pictures at most with a slideshow option, and $5 price/each, then I would buy a set.

Door (dog) mat mouse pad is disgusting.

At least the banana doesn't use any power when you're not peeling it.

I chose the snowman/etc on aesthetic grounds. The tree-decoration one is at least a halfway clever idea.

(And what's wrong with the doormat mousepad? Not much sillier than the average mousemat imo...)]]>Nov 10th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/crapgadget-how-to-ruin-a-gift-giving-experience-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/crapgadget-how-to-ruin-a-gift-giving-experience-edition/

These insta-landfill devices are another reason why manufacturers should be legally responsible for their product after it's been sold.
