ellen zachariia Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Does anyone know where I can get a cup warmer that plugs into the computer for my father in law and brother in law. Either online or off line. Please I need help.
Kandy Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 shop.com has some on sale: http://www.shop.com/op/~Hot_Cubby_USB_Cup_Warmer-prod-12196866-18337061?sourceid=57
Marcster Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 OfficeMax should have them in their store -- they were in-store BF specials for $1.99 (regular price is $9.99).I bought one on BF -- it gets HOT! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Drink/lovecoffee.gif Unfortunately, only my smaller coffee cups fit on it. It functions as a USB 1.1 4-port hub also (whether heating coffee or not). There is an on/off switch for the hotplate. You could buy one on eBay, too: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&from=R10&submitsearch=Search&satitle=usb+mug+warmer&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&floc=1&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&sacur=1&sacqyop=ge&sacqy=&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=(those are probably people reselling the ones they bought at OfficeMax)
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I would recommend checking your local OM like Marc suggested. Geeks.com has USB cup warmers just not as cheap: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=USB-CUP-COOLWARM&cat=CON
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 This looks interesting http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140061168216
Marcster Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 This looks interesting http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140061168216That is the EXACT one that I bought at OfficeMax (the red and green lights are a dead giveaway). (Shipping on a US-based auction might be cheaper.)
Marcster Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Geeks.com has USB cup warmers just not as cheap:http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=USB-CUP-COOLWARM&cat=CONHey, in addition to heating drinks, that one can cool a drink too! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Weather/WEFreezingHL.gif Very "cool"! Yes, I really do have a smiley for every situation! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/LOL/laugh21.gif
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 That is the EXACT one that I bought at OfficeMax (the red and green lights are a dead giveaway). (Shipping on a US-based auction might be cheaper.)Then you scored a great deal. I would get one but I get my morning fix in a paper cup.
debnmark Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I had no idea they made such things. This is perfect for our office grab bag. Does anyone have the one that cools, too? I don't do coffee, but I hate it when my diet coke gets warm:yuck:
fulkersonm Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I saw them at Office Max on BF, too. My husband thought it was a neat idea, but I didn't get one. I figured it would be something else to make a mess. I knock over enough things around my computer. I did buy the fan and light, but haven't tried them yet. I thought they would be good for my laptop. But the display went out on it the same day so I haven't had occasion to try them yet. I'm holding out for a great deal on a new laptop without having to camp somewhere.

The light from your laptop's screen projects more light.
ellen zachariia Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks everyone. I finally found them on cyberguys.com. I will however check office Max becoause I think they would make great last minute gifts. You guys are just great on this website. Thanx again for all the great help.
