Girlawhirl's Holiday '06 Gift Guide: the best iPod accessories Dec 17, 2006
|
|
Everyone knows iPods and MP3 players are some of the most welcome gifts around. Moms and dads, brothers and sisters, friends and Super Pals alike… no one is ever unhappy with the gift of an iPod. So Girlawhirl had to find a way to stand apart from the crowd. And that means this year, she's giving some of the best iPod extras and accessories on the market… • Girlawhirl loves vibrant and fun graphic prints. So it's no surprise she immediately zeroed in on the iSongBook™ exclusively created for Anthropologie. The beautiful print says funky style and chic design, and the technology hidden under the attractive exterior has everything a 21st century girl needs. With iPod® docking station, AM/FM radio, detachable speakers and even an alarm, this dock transcends from cool technology to hip décor.

• Girlawhirl's found that the one question every novice iPod user asks is: “Can you get songs directly from other iPods?” The traditional answer: NO. That was of course until Girlawhirl found the greatest music sharing gadget. The SIMA Hitch USB Transfer Device allows iPod owners to copy songs, videos and photos from one iPod to another. It also lets users move files between any two USB storage devices. No more camera-to-computer-to-iPod, the Hitch moves photos directly from camera to iPod in one step. This is the gift of music – and more. (Note: right now the Hitch only works for iPods set up with Windows.)

• Vinyl is classic, but iPods are cutting edge. Now everyone can let their inner DJ out without having to spend a fortune collecting records. The Numark iDJ Mixing Console lets music mixologists dock two iPods into the unit and mix the music live. Girlawhirl can't wait to gift the music mavens in her life with this perfect step on their road to becoming Master DJs.

• Girlawhirl loves that she can download movies and current episodes of her favorite television shows to her iPod for portable fun. But she and Super Pals agree, when they're home they wish they could watch those shows on their TVs instead of the small iPod screen. So when Girlawhirl found the DLO HomeDock Deluxe, she knew her search for the perfect gift was over. The HomeDock Deluxe remote lets Super Pals operate their iPods, view and select music, photos, and yes, video (!), on the TV screen from the comfort of their couches. Girlawhirl might have to accidentally let slip how cool she thinks this is, in the hopes it ends up under her tree too!

• Any iPod enthusiast with a touch of the inner road warrior will be thrilled with the Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger. Girlawhirl loves this charger/FM transmitter because it lets music lovers play their favorite tunes through the car's stereo system without needing a bulky (and dashboard-covering) dock. And when they get where they're going, their iPods are fully charged to keep them dancing in the streets.

• Girlawhirl knows anyone with a heavy travel schedule will love the Agent 18 VideoShield Kit [for 60GB and 80GB iPod]. The hard case protects the iPod as its owner moves about the world. But what Girlawhirl really loves is that this case doubles as a stand so the recipient can watch their favorite movies and videos on long plane rides without having to hold their iPods up the entire time.

• To keep warm, and look cool, Girlawhirl's grabbed 180s™ Ear Warmer Stereo Headphones for all of her friends and family living in cooler climates. The fleece-lined earphones keep ears warm and the music pumping. And the wrap-around design won't turn a hairdo into a hair-don't. Plus, the detachable cord lets music lovers enjoy the ear warmers even if their iPod is at home.

• Girlawhirl's talked about this before, but she just had to bring it up again – for the ultimate home sound, Girlawhirl's gotta give the Bose® SoundDock® Digital Music System. Sleek looking, with room-filling (and most importantly) clear sound, this amazing dock is sure to please every lucky recipient. And for a smaller and more portable dock, Girlawhirl gives the Altech Lansing® inMotion IM3C Portable Audio System. The small speaker dock packs a big punch, and it's perfect to bring on any vacation. Small enough to fit in a handbag, it fills any room with sound. And best of all, like the Bose, it charges too – so no need to bring extra power cords.

• All-nighters are that much easier now thanks to Girlawhirl and her favorite new gift for college kids and workaholics alike: the iLamp™ Music Desk Lamp. Simply plug an iPod or MP3 player into the desk lamp stand and night owls are free to study, work and listen to their favorite tunes through the lamp's speakers till the sun comes up.

• Girlawhirl's found the perfect study aid for tech-savvy students. The XtremeMac MicroMemo™ Digital Voice Recorder hooks into any iPod video and records lectures, or anything else, directly into the iPod with the touch of a button – even if the iPod is in “play” mode.

• And even though she knows the 1GB iPod shuffle isn't exactly an iPod extra, she couldn't help herself – she had to grab the clip-on iPod for her girls on the go. The new generation shuffle is less than half the size of the original and holds up to 240 songs! Girlawhirl's guys and gals can clip it to their waistband to take it on the run, jacket lapel for a day in the city, or wherever they want to keep the music flowing.
