Normally, I couldn’t think of a less interesting computer accessory than a memory card reader. Leave it to the design wizards at Boynq to change my mind on that.

Their $30 Toastit is a 27-in-1 memory card reader that bears a striking resemblance to a retro-modern toaster. While it won’t actually brown your Pop Tarts, the Toastit will read most memory cards, including Compact Flash I & I, MicroDrive, SD, MMC, Memory Stick and xD formats.

The plug-and-play flash memory reader is completely USB powered, and transfers via a high-speed USB 2.0 connection to both Macs and PCs. And no, I couldn’t find a ‘bagel’ setting anywhere on the thing.
