You can always mod your own.
Example: Lego USB Stick tutorial at Instructables.com

There may also be something neat at Thinkgeek.com

Hope you find or make one you like. :)

Feel better soon! ;O;

If you don't mind a splurge, Mimobots (http://www.mimoco.com) are cute? They popped up in Wired not too long ago, I think. If you need something bigger, my external hard-drive, a... WD Passport, I think?? Is really really portable- and it's cotton candy pink. :D

[mognetcentral.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec of the WD Passport. I've been looking for a small external HD :)

Ahahha, I love mine! It's nice and big (storage-wise, I mean) without being bulky, and doesn't need a power supply.

PROTECT them though. Mine did just fine in my bag just floating around for a while, getting jostled. I was worried, but it seemed fine. And one day, it stopped working. Thankfully the warranty was good, and I had the files backed up, but do invest in a case for it. :D

ooo, the passport is pretty! god, it's like bigger than my desktop harddrive haha... my poor c omputer. XD

[umiyuko.livejournal.com]

I love my pink drive! Keeps people from mixing it up, too. It's especially amusing if I MATCH my hard-drive that day...
Which I usually do.

It's a pretty good bargain, too. I can shove all sorts of things on there. Right now I have all of my anime on there, my high-res comic pages for class and work, and other junk I hve to tote around, and it's barely got a dent. Pretty awesome.

[amarafox.livejournal.com]

I was about to pimp these :D I love the ewok.

[mognetcentral.livejournal.com]

Yarr, Mimobots are great. I have the Tokidoki Meletta and it's adorable.

Office Depot (I don't know if you have those over there...) has 2gb thumb drives that look like children's toys called "Kookies". I think they're kind of ugly and would also recommend concocting your own. Right now, I'm working on putting a usb flash drive in a hollowed-out victorian pocket watch...its gonna be so Firefly!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

waaah, pocket watch usb, that's AWESOME

My SanDisk U3 Titanium USB stick is awesome -- while not cute, per se, it's silver and lights up blue when plugged in, which is why it has been nicknamed the Sonic Screwdriver. :)

I really wanted one of these penguins when I saw them at MacWorld last year, but the company wasn't selling them yet.

Seems like you can get them here!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

oh my god!! it's SO CUTE! I like the dinosaur too:

[mognetcentral.livejournal.com]

Rawr! XD Yeah, and the X'mas ones too... so cute. The only thing holding me back is thinking that it'd still be easiest to pack something flatter into a pocket or bag. But it'd be perfect for keeping on your desk at the office, etc...

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, I really need one for the office, that's the driving force. and I really just need one and I'll use it for a long time, so it better be CUTE DAMMIT

Do a custom one of your own, by getting a USB drive that is rectangular or cylindrical, then printing your own artwork onto a sticker that covers the USB drive!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

where can I get that kind of sticker? teach me obiwan!

[jinyo.livejournal.com]

I just meant that if you got a USB drive like one of these:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2111296&Sku=C10-1030
you could then print your own design onto sticker paper, then put it on the USB drive. It would be best to take a small piece of paper, try wrapping it around the USB drive, and mark it to show what part of the paper is on the front, etc. Then flatten out the paper and measure it, and Photoshop some graphics to fit that size/shape. Print it onto normal paper, cut it out, and make sure it fits the way you want it to. Then, if satisfied, print it onto sticker paper like this stuff:
http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p1_Avery-8165-White-Inkjet-Full-Sheet-Labels-8-1-2-x-11_18831_Business_Supplies_10051_SEARCH
and apply it to your USB drive.

awesome! I could do that. XD

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

[kittytreats.livejournal.com]

Not sure if anyone else suggested this one but I totally need it..you totally need it. We all totally need this!!!

Hope you get better!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

:O

(ps, that's the winner for me! it's on a necklace, it's pink, it's a heart and it's a great price. SCORE.)

[kittytreats.livejournal.com]

I was surprised at the price too. A LJ friend posted this awhile back during Valentines day. hee hee it's so cute!

[etherealtb.livejournal.com]

Wow. I didn't even *know* there were "cute" USB sticks out there! Thanks for an idea I can use for giveaways at work for different events like Red Dress Day or Mammography Month. My bosses will be so impressed with me. Thanks for making me look good! (Proof that time playing around on the internet at work isn't wasted!!!! LOL.)
