Hi Lori, What you call a memory stick are commonly called flash drives here in the US. Basically, it is just a long skinny plastic device with a cap on it you can take of and slide it into your USB port. To be honest I haven't paid too much attention to brands and just buy them based on price and the amount of memory available on them.
There is another option available you might want to think about. You can buy a USB card reader which costs about $15, and you can put any size flash card in it which is nice. Of course you have to be careful with flash cards, but you can have several of them for a decent price and they are small enough to store in a desk drawer or in a container on your computer desk. Either way backup devices aren't that expensive. I don't know much about the UK to tell you where to get them, but I'm sure there has to be somewhere to get them for a fair price without going to Amazon, New Egg, or another online vender.
