soooo i was thinkin about getting my bf an ipod. he's one of those completely-obsessed-with-music types (saw 5 concerts this summer, buys cds on a regular basis, has thousands of songs on his comp at school, even collects records, etc) and i think he'd love it. plus, he's on varsity bball and travels a lot (this way he could take all of his music w/ him instead of picking a few cds to take)
however, an ipod is a very expensive gift... i was thinkin about combining our 2 year anniv, his 21st bday, and xmas
i have a very good job this summer (interning in a law firm) and i've also made some $$ from other random things (babysitting, working a few weeks at my old job, ebaying, etc) so i could afford to buy this..
also, they just dropped the price on ipods (yippee!!!)
new prices (4G model):
20gb ipod = $269 + tax (free ship)
40gb ipod + dock (incl) = $369 + tax (free ship)
they also come w/ free engraving on the back of up to 2 lines if you order it online
i'm not sure which to get.. although i'm leaning toward the 40gb (i heard the dock is really useful, and its $35 separately, and doubling the memory for $100 -- or $65 if i'm counting the dock -- is pretty good...) this way he'd never have to worry about running out of space and... hehe.. he could put some of my music on it too
anyway, im pretty sure if i got him the 20gb he'd exchange it and upgrade to the 40..
so here are my q's:
1. which ipod would you get? do you think ~$400 is wayyy too much for a gift considering we're college students even if its combined for 3 pretty big events? if you were a guy would this freak you out or would you be really happy?
2. would you even want an ipod?
3. i was thinking about having something engraved on the back... nothing like "OOOH POOKEY I LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS MWAHHHH LOVE, BINKYBEAR!" but just a short word that has a lot of significance for us, and maybe the date we started dating
what are your thoughts on that? good/bad?
ok everyone, lets get some advice
oh, also: his bro just bought himself an ipod w/ his hs graduation $$ (he got a 20gb back when the 20's were $369 but included a dock) and my bf was talkin about how great ipods are etc but that theyre pretty expensive... im sure hed end up buying himself one or getting one for his 21st bday though
