OLED Christmas tree, OLED Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches
Headline with bad pun – check. Novelty gadget – check. Silly video – check. Energy efficiency – check. This is tech blog gold! It’s an OLED Christmas tree, created by the lovely chaps (and they seem to be exclusively chaps) who work at the GE OLED labs.

Firebox launches 'CrapWrap' – intentionally awful wrapping for presents
This tickled me a little, so I thought you might find it amusing too. Gadget and gift site Firebox will be offering a CrapWrap option alongside its more normal giftwrap options this year.

It’s probably more like managing to get all my presents in time and making sure I’m not the person who has to deal with the tree after it starts to look a lot less festive and drops all of it’s browning needles over the carpet.
However, if you’re thinking Christmas 2.0 then you’re probably all into energy saving both for the sake of the environment and for credit crunch cash-strapping reasons as well. In which case, you need to get yourself over to Eco Geek Living and pick up a set of these solar-powered LED Christmas Lights…
Floppy Disk Gift Tags – for the special geek in your life
Remember the amazing sticky labels you could put on 3.5″ floppies? Especially when you overwrote the same disc twenty times and ended up with a slightly wider floppy than would actually fit into the drive, because there were so many labels on it…?
