Are you looking for a decent present for a she-friend and cannot decide which way to go? Here's a neat hint to mix in both the style and fashion ideas that run through your mind with the technology and usefulness-urges of today's gift industry: the Owl USB Drive. This nifty gadget will hit two birds with the same stone as it comes with the stylish and homely approach of a casual piece of jewelry and makes for a very useful thing to have upon you at any time of the day.

This Owl USB Flash Drive comes in a metal enclosure with an etched back looking cool and elegant at the same time. The front is loaded with clear stones, sporting two black ones for the bird's eyes. The USB plug is retractable so no one could tell that you're wearing a USB drive around your neck, except after looking really close; and staring at a lady's chest isn't the most polite thing to do, you have to agree.

Hot-swapping capabilities for an easy and comfortable use, no drivers needed. While being a Mass Storage Device class-compatible item, you can use it to store whatever files you want in its 2 GB available memory. This USB Owl works fine with Windows XP, Vista and 2000, and with Mac systems, though we don't see any problems with Linux either.

 

With a 38-gram weight, the Owl USB Flash Drive retails for $25 a pop, necklace included.
