Burn the Greedy People You Love At Christmas!

Only from the Onion:

A trio of fake gift boxes meant to con the greedy people in your life.
Only $20 (USD) to have the opportunity to laugh at your mooching little brother, or greedy prick of a friend. Ah Christmas, the corporate retail's yearly World War for dominance in the mostly pointless category of item posession.

How can you tell I come from a retail background....

So a second there I was pretty excited, as I just skimmed it, and all I caught was USB Toaster for $20. We don't have a toaster in our house, but sometimes I want toast, and that's a pretty good price. My house is so wired too, that I am fairly certain I have more USB ports open (in any room) than I do power outlets.

Then I realized it was a gag box. I was sad. I wonder how long a real USB toaster would take to make toast. I guess I'll have to stick with my extremely unefficient way of making toast in the oven. (I don't have toast that often)

USB coffee warmer and beer chillers are as close as I think your going to get...... without an additional AC adapter anyway.

The box idea is actually quite good but expensive.

On a side note I gave my girlfriend her birthday present in a box that originally held bacon shaped/colored bandages... She had quite the humorous WTF reaction.

Sometimes you get some pretty odd packaging when you order stuff online.
