Those of us who are employed in a role in which a heavy dependence on computers exists or those who regularly complete school work using laptops or PCs are continually told of the importance of backing up one’s data – losing that imminent client report or the final edit of a dissertation chapter can cause the sort of panic that verges on a heart-attack!
Whilst many of us may own larger external hard drives UK for the storage of our work and entertainment-related data, USB memory sticks are a far more portable and therefore; convenient on-the-go storage option for files. With Christmas just around the corner, now is the perfect time to buy yourself or a loved one of the hundreds of novelty USB hard drives that are available, for they make great stocking fillers.
Here then, are the top novelty USB flash drives for women…
Sushi Dish USB Hard Drive
Forgive the sweeping statement but all women simply love sushi. This is likely due to the fact that it is a low calorie food and is pretty in its presentation. No less can be said for this sushi-themed USB stick which is available in many variants and so, whether the lady in your life is a maki or Californian roll kind of girl, you’ll be sure to find the design that’s ideal for her. Sushi USB hard drives from sushidisk.co.uk are available in a variety of storage capacities also; from 128MB to 8GB.
Phillips Swarvoski Padlock USB Thumb Drive
It is fair to say that the fairer sex has a penchant for all things which sparkle and so this silver padlock-shaped, Swarovski embedded stainless steel flash drive is sure to please your sister or girlfriend. Since the USB attachment which protrudes from the hard drive’s shell is retractable when not in use, this drive can be attached to a handbag or even a neck chain without giving itself away as a computing gadget. This weighty hard drive has a storage capacity of 1GB (around 250 audio tracks or 1,000 pictures).
Magnum Ice Cream USB Hard Drive
Most women love chocolate and ice cream but the inches that eating such food regularly can add to their hips; less so. This USB Magnum ice cream then, is the perfect solution (or; constant reminder not to indulge) for those ladies who seem to be forever on a diet. This non-edible dessert comes presented in an attractive themed gift box with an attachable strap. The storage capacity of this tasty little promotional number – which is now hard to find beyond websites such as eBay and Etsy – is 2GB (up to 500 audio tracks/2,000 pictures).
Aroma USB Memory Drive
It might seem a ridiculous notion to buy someone a hard drive which is incapable of actually storing any files but that’s exactly what you’ll be doing should you purchase a female loved one an Aroma USB flash Drive. More accurately described as an air freshener than a hard drive, the Aroma USB is available in lavender, lemongrass and orange aromatherapy scents which should see the receiver less stressed and/or more productive during their working day. These drives emit a scent for up to a whole week (continuous use) and are refillable.
Swarvoski Engagement Ring USB Flash Drive
Presenting your loved one with a USB engagement ring could be seen as hilarious but equally, you could be in disgrace for quite a while should your lady have been eagerly awaiting you to pop the big question for a while. If she is a bit of a computing nerd however, she may be convinced of the humour when she discovers that the female and male Swarvoski USB rings can be locked to each other to immediately exchange files without the use of a PC or batteries of any kind. The model pictured is not available to purchase, for the image was produced as part of the concept which first surfaced back in 2008. Variants on this initial design are available to buy online however.
