#1iPod

iPods, Nanos, Shuffles, oh my!  The ubiquitous iPod is a must-have even for iPod owners.  Those devious marketers keep giving us shiny new choices for iPods that it makes it so hard not to upgrade when a pretty deviation of the iPod comes out.  Give your loved one the gift of music with an iPod.  Our favorites are the iPod shuffle clip and the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED.

#2Skins

With the ever-present iPod, customization is the only way to go to differentiate your baby from all the others.  With a smorgasbord of different prints, colors, patterns and materials to choose from, you can give your iPod a new look and protect it from scratches at the same time.  Stylehive choices include GelaSkins, Schtickers, iSkin’s TokiDoki covers and Vaja luxury leather cases.

#3Sumajin Smartwraps

A tangled earphone cord ruins the sleek and sexy look of an iPod.  Don’t waste any more time untangling your earphone cords with Smartwrap’s earphone cord manager that allows you to snap the cord in, wind to your desired length and snap in place.  Available in a rainbow of colors, Smartwraps make the perfect stocking stuffer.

#4Speakers

What’s the fun of iPods if you can’t expand your music for others to hear?  A new speaker system seemingly pops up every day for the iPod with different features – portable, Wi-Fi, imbedded alarm clock, and tons more.  It’ll be hard to pick one, but our favorites include Rain Design’s iWoofer, Oregon Scientific’s iBall, and SpeckTone Retro speaker system.

#5iPod Accessible Clothing

With all the revenue coming from the popularity of the iPod, clothing makers are jumping on the bandwagon.  Technology meets fashion with iPod accessible clothing that allows different ways for iPod aficionados to wear their favorite gadget.  Stylehive selections include Urban Tool’s iShirt, Thomas Pink’s iPod Friendly Tie, and Levi’s RedWire DLX jeans with a “docking station”.

these all make awesome gift assuming that the receipient isn’t anything like me. i managed to lose my THIRD ipod last week. haha. that’s really quite sad. one more great thing....the iTrip. great for people who commute or travel a lot.

It’s called common sense. Something that I guess people these days have forgotten. Naturally if you are going to blast your iPod in your ears at full volume you will have hearing problems. If you can’t control the volume then you shouldn’t own any kind of stereo equipment at all because they can all damage your ears easily. Apple or any company cannot be your baby sitter for what you do with your equipment every second of the day.

I was given an iPod as a birthday gift a couple of years ago. Immediately, I fell in love with it, and it revolutionised my listening habits. It looks good, it is easy to use, and my particular model stored 5,000 songs, about half of my CD-based music collection.
