How to Make a USB Thumb Drive Gift More Memorable

USB thumb drives make great gifts for any occasion. They're small, practical and sure to find a useful place in their new owner's life. One thing they're not, however, is exciting. Unless the person you're giving it to has a passion for solid-state media, you probably won't get more than a casual "Thanks!" or "Cool!" in return. Here's how to make a memorable gift out of your USB thumb drive.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Load some pictures, music or videos onto the thumb drive before giving it as a gift. Including photos or movies from times you've enjoyed together gives the thumb drive a personal, sensitive touch.
2. Decorate the thumb drive with interestingly patterned paper. Just like wrapping a present, covering the drive with paper that's colorful and unique gives it a bit of extra personality.
3. Wrap the drive in creative packaging that'll surprise the recipient. For example, you might nestle the thumb drive in a giant box of styrofoam peanuts and send your friend on a hunt for it.
4. Attach the thumb drive to a stuffed animal. As long as the drive's USB connector is accessible, this makes for a clever and entertaining gift. Make sure the stuffed animal's small enough to still be portable.
5. Glue trinkets, charms or other baubles to the drive. This allows you to include a kind of coded message on the outside of the drive that reminds the recipient of you each time he or she uses it.
