If you have to have a device for data storage, it doesn’t have to be beige and boring! It can be downright adorable, like this sweet little Hello Kitty USB jump drive. She can hold 2 GB worth of very business-like Word and Excel files, or just your favorite tunes and photos of you and your sweetie!

For those who are organizationally-impaired, this cute 50-page notepad can help you make order of the chaos on your desk. It’s made of recycled paper, measures 4 by 6 inches, and features an adorable hummingbird listening to an old-fashioned record player (or an inky octopus). The OCD part of me loves the little check-list boxes… so cute!

Sure, you could use that noisy, obnoxious electric pencil sharpener in the copy room, but this is so much more fun! Wind him up and he walks, but he’s also a very functional pencil sharpener. He’s stands four inches tall, and would also make a great gift for your boyfriend!

She chirps prettily when you touch her, and she holds your paper clips. She’s a little more than two inches wide, two inches tall, and is colorful, chubby, and oh-so-cute! The paper-clips are sold separately, but I’m sure you can find some in the supply closet in a boring cardboard box…

Colorful, quirky, and eye-catching! Why use a dull, boring USB port when there’s this rainbow-hued cutie? Fold it, stack it, stretch it out… any way you use it, it turns one lonely USB port into four. Love it!

Though these are only available at Marc Jacobs stores, they’re well worth the trip! Choose from one of four hip designs (I like the one with the little red hearts, “Melt Me”) and go from one USB port to three, just like that.
I didn’t realize it until I put this list together, but many of these are accessories that plug into a USB port on your computer! Interesting! Which of these little items do you like best? What do you have on your desk right now? Please let me know!
