Flashsticks: USB drives get a touch of nature
November 5th, 2009 by Annkur
We absolutely love the natural wooden treatment given to any gadget and Flashsticks (UK) makes some really cool and natural wooden pen drives. Each of these USB flash drives are made from locally hardwood wood from a renewable source. The wood is collected from the woods of Berkshire in England. This is fallen wood from the previous winter’s storms. Thus no two of these drives are similar.
So if you are fascinated by the combination of silicon chips and nature or simply want to stand out with a unique gadget connecting your notebook, FlashStick is just what you need. Fully compatible with USB 2.0 and a unique design is enough to attract me.
Currently available in a 2GB version (upgrades coming soon), this wooden Flashstick would cost you £15. And if you are lucky you can take home one of these FREE. Flashticks UK is giving away one of these cool wooden drives to a random commenter on this post. So let us know in comments below why you want this! (contest closes in 72 hours)

Wow, cool gadget!! Does it have a cap to it? The pictures didn’t reveal so…
I completely agree with you Surabhi, the world needs to Go Green. We are living in a world with many problems. The ecosystem isn’t our most pressing problem, but if we sit around and do nothing about it, it will become so! I as well agree that even having Green Gadgets will play a important role in saving our planet, whether it be a lead role or a stand-in.
This is a very interesting gadget. I would like this to convince people around me to go green in the small ways of lifestyle. Plus, it’s just plain cool.
Hope I win, and save our planet!!!
