30 free 8GB (or 16GB) USB pens

30 free 8GB (or 16GB) USB pens. Is this possible to find? We're filling them with our movies and giving them as a reward for our project donors, but 30 x $$ is a lot of money. Other than online surveys which we could fill out for one free one, does anyone know how I can get 30 for free? Or as a bulk deal?
Bonus question: another reward is a pen that looks like a sheep for a specific donor. But you know what comes up when I search for a "sheep pen". If you've seen something that looks like this, a link would be lovely. Thanks!

How about a USB pen with a sheep on top?

It's kind of an export-import link, but at least you know they're out there.
You could search for "novelty pen" +sheep and see what that gets you ...

Are you looking for ones with logos or something.
In my experience, anything under 100 logoed drives is going to be prohibitively expensive.
Otherwise, buying some on Amazon is probably your best bet.

Response by poster: I'm just looking for cheapest option. Amazon's showing roughly $4 to $10 for the flash drives:

So 30 should come to roughly $120. That's not terrible, but $4 is 16% of the donation. Plus postage... well, whatever I can do to get them for free would be great.
I found a great sheep pen. Thank you!

That's $4 plus $5 shipping at the Amazon link.
For super cheap commodity electronics, I usually think of dealextreme.com or tigerdirect.com. The best deal I see there is 4GB, $5, free shipping at Tiger Direct.

Maybe find out if a business in your area would be interested in sponsoring you by supplying flash drives with their logo? (It's cheap, as advertising goes, but expensive if you are trying to buy 30 of them without spending any money, since the standard minimum for bulk pricing is 50, and since the real promo prices are for the little drives, not the big boys.)

You can get 4Gb on a DVD (8Gb on a dual-layer, but the media will be a little more expensive) which will be a lot cheaper than the flash memory sticks.
