The iPod Holiday Shopping List

Last week I had my son, wife and mother-in-law all ask me what I wanted for the Holidays. They said I was terribly hard to buy for, I’m so picky about what I get and then when I really want something, I end up getting it for myself. All true, but it doesn’t stop me from giving them a few ideas. Let’s start with what to buy the person with an iPod or that you know is getting an iPod. Buying iPod accessories is fun and easy. You can spend as much or as little as you want. Many new companies have started up with just some simple ideas for your iPod. Let’s look at a few of my favorites with plenty of links for you purchasing pleasure.

The first thing any iPod user needs is a covering, or a case for your iPod. I have several of them depending on what I’m doing with it. I have one case for driving, another for long walks, another for traveling and one just for storage. (Can you tell already how much I love my iPod?)
As for a case, my favorite are the hard body types over at Contour Design. They have taken some real beatings from my wife and I without allowing as much as a scratch on our babies. They tend to be too big for some activities so you need a smaller, sleeker option. I like the iPod Skins from Speck Products. There are probably another 15 or 20 companies that sell iPod cases, search the web, you’ll find cases made in leather, lace, lucite and lambskin. With a range of prices for anyone, iPod cases are a great gift idea.

The next gift idea is an appearance kit for cleaning and maintaining your iPod. Surf-Bits has the ultimate website for you to visit for all your maintenance needs. Radtech has some of the most unique gear you’ll ever run into. Ice Cream cleaning kits, OmniCleanz, and ScreensavRz all do a great job on your iPod, While you’re there, check out Radtech’s Podsleevz. Inexpensive and useful, what more can a gift be?
