Kingston Data Traveler USB Flash Drives



There's nothing new or sexy about USB jump drives anymore, but that's only because they've become so common as to render us all blasé. But I'm still impressed, if only because the current iterations offer EIGHT TIMES the drive space of my first computer, and double that of the hard drive upgrade that cost me hundreds of dollars. (I'm still steamed about that - can you tell?) Even better; they're inexpensive, tiny, portable, and hot-swappable. Isn't technology great?

Boggle on a Keychain



My friends are all obsessed with Boggle. Personally, I prefer Scrabble (I'm equally bad at that), but this is going on my wishlist for future roadtrips or cottage weekends. Doubly cool is that it takes up so little space, I can overpack with this AND some other frivolous item!

Kiva Key Chain Convertible Tote



As an environment-lovin' type, I find it frustrating to make a pitstop at the local grocery, only to find I've left all my BYOB(ags) in the car or at home. With this nifty little tool, easily stashed in a purse or backpack, it's that much easier to green up the planet... Not to mention lug home all those unexpected purchases.
