Tengu – lip-syncing USB desktop toy
This USB-powered desktop companion sits by your computer making different faces according to its mood. But here’s the good bit: Tengu lip-syncs to the music it hears so it looks like its singing along. It has a total of over 14 different facial expressions. Bright LEDs in Tengu’s sleek rectangular face respond to any sound, so as well as gurning away to the music you play, this hip little square also moves its lips as you merrily type away.
To activate Tengu simply blow or you just have to make some noise.

Japanese toy poke box
Japanese toy poke box
This is a toy box that lets you poke it from the inside. It will be a perfect toy on your working desk every time when you feel bore while waiting for your program to load you can poke your finger inside to play with the character. According to the manufacturer, the box gives off a realistic sensation each time you touch a character, and you can see your own finger in the shadow-hand-style display. The Poking Box is available in Japan, for about $30, and should be a great gift for all. I believe if you search around ebay you should be able to buy one from there too.
