Novelty USB memory sticks used to be reserved for trade shows and vendor training sessions. However, recently there’s a lot of pimping going on to help distinguish your thumb drive from the thousands of clones.  We’ve got the run down of the top pimped USB thumb drives.

LaCie iamaKey

With it’s eye-catching design, the iamaKey certainly stands out, and it’s connector is both water and scratch resistant, making it one of the most durable and thinnest USB keys on the market. You can get one here

 LaCie Current Key

Shock-proof and durable die-cast casing. You can get one here.

Transcend JetFlash 220

The 220’s fingerprint recognition technology not only makes it easy to safely store personal files and sensitive office documents, but also allows users to automatically log on to websites that require a username and password. You can get one here.

Corsair Survivor 32GB

Encased in extremely strong anodized aircraft-grade aluminum and water resistant to 200M through the use of a US approved waterproof seal. It’s protected from vibration through the use of a molded shock dampening collar. You can get one here.

Metal F1 Race Car

This all-metal model F1 racecar is the perfect gift for any serious F1 race fan.

You can get one here.

Wood USB Drive

Ideal for the eco-friendly. The blend of modern technology and environmentally sustainable materials machined from European Maple.  You can get one here.

USB Jewel Bracelet Thumb Drive

Fashionable (maybe) jewel encrusted USB thumb drive with decorative crystals. Ideal to put photos on and give it to a loved one (if you dare).  We can’t guarantee they’ll wear it though. Novel, but tacky. You can get one here.

USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner

This isn’t strictly a flash drive, but it’s unique and simple fragrance diffuser warrants inclusion in this list. Add a drop of the Lavender oil and let all your worries drift away… You can get one here.
