R2-D2 USB Humidifier
Winter got you feeling a little dry and unhappy? Perhaps the R2-D2 USB humidifier will help moisten and brighten your day. We mentioned this little gadget a few months ago, and now ThinkGeek is offering the trusty droid for about $20. The USB-powered desktop humidifier holds just a few ounces of water, so this won’t fill the whole house or office. But hey, why would you want to share? Pop his top, add water, plug him into your computer, and enjoy the misty goodness.
Available from ThinkGeek and other retailers. Retail price $19.99

Kymera Magic Wand Remote
With a flick of the wrist and a wave of the wand, change the channel or adjust the volume of your TV set. The Kymera Magic Wand remote, available now from ThinkGeek, puts the power in your hands. You may not be able to disarm an opponent with this 14-inch wand, but you can program up to 13 functions from your existing remotes and map them to specific motions. Swish the remote side to side to change the channel; twist the wand to adjust the volume. Compatible with most electronics remotes, you can program functions for your TV, DVR, and more by simply performing the gesture and then beaming the remote at the tip of the remote.
Although Kymera Magic Wand remote does not use phoenix feathers or unicorn hairs to work its magic, neither does it use boring buttons to let you control your TV and stereo. And that is pretty cool.
Available from ThinkGeek and other retailers. Retail price $89.99

Star Wars Laser Pointers
While not quite a true laser sword, these laser pointers shaped like Star Wars lightsabers are still pretty cool. One-third scale versions of the lightsaber hilts carried by Darth Maul and Darth Vader, they are also functional red-dot laser pointers. Available from ThinkGeek, these pointers retail for $15 each.
In the classroom or the boardroom, laser pointers are useful tools (like lightsabers, except without the whole slicing and dicing thing). And if you’re going to use a laser pointer, you might as well use one with some style.
Available from ThinkGeek. Retail price $14.99
