I'm pretty sure they could be reused for vanitygen like someone said, but that doesn't take much effort to do. I don't think it will ever get to that point unless you live in an area where electricity is high and your mining on a PC.

The chip on the stick can't do anything else beside mine bitcoins.

Next year all USB Block Erupters will be useless, they won't get a single share, like CPU's now.

Wouldn't it be nice to make them into a key fob to put on your key chain? Or make some fancy jewellery out of them?

They do have a very nice BTC logo on the back and the chips on the front side give them a nice techno look.
