Most Popular Gift 2011 – Apple iPad 2

TellMeAGift — Sun, 22 May 2011 02:35:00 +0000

There’s no denying that the item on the top of everyone’s wishlist this year is the Apple iPad 2!

For those who aren’t too sure what all the fuss is about – what is so good about the iPad 2?

Well where do we begin? First up the iPad 2 has forward facing and rear cameras (perfect for facetime); it also has a better process than the original iPad and it’s smaller now too. It also has a groovy new magnetic cover.

Sure there are other computer tablets that can do all the stuff that an iPad 2 can do, but let’s face it, none of them are quite as cool or as smooth and easy to use.

So if you are looking for a gift idea for a brother, sister, heck even your grandparents, then the Apple iPad 2 would have to be at the top of the wishlist.

The Top Ten MP3 Players to Gift

TellMeAGift — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:00:33 +0000

The MP3 player has become the classic gift to get for just about anybody. MP3′s make a fantastic gift for the music lover or if you add a personalized playlist it can also be a cute gift for your crush or loved ones as well. So what are the best MP3 players to get? Keep on reading to find out.

1. The Apple iPod Touch

Okay so this may seem obvious, but the iPod Touch really is the best mp3 player around. Not only does it hold a whole tonne of music but you can watch videos on it and its fun and easy to use as well. If you want to get the best just get this one.

2. SanDisk Sansa Fuze

For those of you who aren’t so into iPods or don’t like using iTunes then the Sansa Fuze is for you. The Fuze may even be better than the iPod it just doesn’t come with the cool and hip factor. The Fuze has great music quality and it comes with a couple of extra features like an FM radio that you can record from, an external mic and a microSD card.

3. Apple iPod Nano

Now don’t be fooled by the size of these because they can still pack a punch. While these might not be quite as cool as the iPod Touch they are much easier to carry around. If the gift recipient is after something they can take to the gym with them and that comes in pretty colors too, then this is the gift for them.

4. Coby MP3 Player

If you’re after an mp3 player without the hefty price tag than go for the Coby. While it may not look as funky or be as fancy as some of the other mp3s it still does the job. It holds a fair amount of music and has good sound quality. The Coby is very good product at a very low price (currently only $40 from Amazon.com).

5. Archos Internet Media Tablet

Now this isn’t just any old mp3 player, this is more like a media centre at your fingertips. Take it wherever you go and you can watch movies on its wide screen, get WiFi access and a whole heap of other cool things you didn’t even know you needed. I may have said the iPod was the best for mp3s but this is a whole lot more.

6. Zune Video MP3 Player

Apple’s biggest competitor is Microsoft’s Zune. This has all the cool features you want in an mp3 player plus it has exclusive Zune radio channels, wireless sharing, access to videos, movies and is compatible with the Xbox 360. It also has a heap of other features that you’ll need to check out too. This is no doubt a wishlist item.

7. Sony Walkman Video MP3 Player

If you’re giving your mp3 player to someone who’s after something a little easier to use then go for the Sony Walkman. It has great sound quality, is slim and holds a long battery life, it just doesn’t have some of the bonus features that comes with your fancier mp3 players. A great gift though none the less.

8. Creative Labs Zen MX MP3 Player

This mp3 player comes with all the features you’ll need: sounds quality, battery life and a range of formats. It also comes with an SD card that makes it easy to transfer your music around. A great mp3 player with all the features and not as pricey as some of the other models.

9. Apple iPod Shuffle

Sometimes all you need is some music. The iPod Shuffle might not have any other features but it has all you need and that is some pumping beats. This is great if you just want to carry something light (this is super tiny) but beware it can get a little annoying if you can’t find the song you want to hear.

10. Mozaic LX

This mp3 player makes the list because it is so cheap and it looks quite pretty too. This would make a great gift for a little girl or for when you just want a little stocking filler but it is not as good as some of the other mp3s around.

Graduation Gift Girlfriend

If your girlfriend is about to graduate you probably want to get her a special gift to help her celebrate and remember this important occasion. The graduation gift for your girlfriend will mark the start of a new stage of her life and is therefore very symbolic. The gift you choose however will depend on your budget, how special you want to make the gift and maybe even the career direction your girlfriend is about to take.

If you are on a budget there are plenty of things you can get. What about a commemorative photo frame or a frame with a personalized message or poem on it. You can also get her a new diary or graduation keepsake box or maybe even some sugary treats or a pampering gift.

If you have a little bit more money to spend then there are some special gifts that you can get. One very popular gift to get a female college graduate is a beautiful piece of jewelry. You can get her a necklace or pendant, ring or even a bracelet or watch. If you wanted to make the piece extra special you could even get it engraved. Some career industries even have their own symbols which you may want to get on your item of jewelry. For example you can get a nurse’s serenity prayer on a pendent if your girlfriend is a recent nurse graduate.

Some other gift ideas that your girlfriend might love for her graduation would be a bonsai money tree for prosperity; a new designer bag to make an impression on her first day of work or you could even just take her on a shopping spree so as she can get something new to go to interviews with. If none of the above ideas appeal to you my suggestion is to get her a bunch of the prettiest flowers you can find and take her out to the finest dining establishment in your area. Don’t forget to tell her to dress up and celebrate her achievements in style, and of course to crack open the champagne.

Graduation Gift Boyfriend

Your boyfriend’s graduation is an important event so you probably want to do something special to commemorate the occasion. What you get him though will depend on how grand a gesture you want to make or on the type of career that you boyfriend is about to enter into.

If you want to get a graduation gift that will really spoil your boyfriend my first suggestion would be a brand new iPod Touch or a blackberry to start his new business life with. Another great gift to spoil your boyfriend would be a new digital camera so that he can take photos on his special day that he can keep for a lifetime. A designer watch is another great gift as it can show his new status in life.

If however these gifts are not in your budget (you may still be a uni/high school student yourself) then don’t despair because there are many cheaper graduation gifts out there too. What about a personalized photo frame so that he can proudly remember his special day. Another idea is getting a teddy bear or autograph book so that your boyfriend can get all of his college friends’ signatures.

A couple of other cool ideas are a leather portfolio to keep his important documents in; a new pen with his name engraved on it; a graduation keepsake box or a graduation gift hamper full of luscious treats. You may also want to get a personalized gift depending on the industry your boyfriend is about to get into. For example for an IT graduate get a USB flash drive or something technology related; get a business graduate something for their new office surroundings or get a medicine student a new pen to start writing out scripts. And most importantly of all don’t forget that the best graduation gift that you can get for your boyfriend is to celebrate with him and make him feel proud for all that he has accomplished.
