This evening's pound shop bargain was a small USB accessory. A glass ball about the size of a light bulb on a plastic base...

Yes, it really is a USB-powered plasma globe. I have no idea how they get the necessary voltage for it, but it's really quite nifty. Not as nice or as bright as the 6" globe I got a few years back, but it's a fun toy. And if I can pick up a few more various family members will be getting them as stocking fillers...
