A Surprise for Toni

Saturday, 10 Sep 2005 | Apple, Family

Last night, I surprised Toni with a 4 GB White iPod nano. I wanted to get it for her to tell her how much I appreciate her as my wife. She was delighted by the gift. :D

After reading an entry from Latitude 13, I started to investigate the newly introduced iPod nano more carefully. I initially didn't think it would be a good match for Toni because I thought it had a hard drive like the iPod mini. I wanted a flash drive based iPod for her because she would want to use it to exercise and I like the no skip feature of flash drives.

The more I looked at the features of the iPod nano on the Apple website, the more it seemed to be a perfect match for Toni. It's very small, actually thinner than the iPod Shuffle, a little wider and about the same length. The color display is very nice. I'm envious of how clean it looks and wish my iPod had color too. It's amazing just how small the nano is. I want to get Toni the Lanyard Headphones when it becomes available in a few weeks so she can wear it on her walks.

Oh, a little birdie told me that she would absolutely love it if her husband would surprise her with a 4 GB White iPod nano too. *Hint hint* ;D

Haha! Thanks for the nice, subtle hint! Maybe I'll point my browser to this entry and leave the iBook open on the kitchen table. ;)

Do you think it was subtle enough? LOL

Oh! Great minds think alike! I bought a black 4G Nano for my husband's birthday. Even had them personalize it with his name (via apple.com). I can't wait to hear his reaction (he'll be in Monterey for his birthday this Wednesday, so I can't see his expression).

I dropped a little hint that I'd like a white one for Christmas. Hehehe... or a Nikon D2X, but I doubt I'll get the latter as it's a bit pricey at $5K. (sigh)

Anywho... good on ya for picking an excellent gift for your beloved. =)

Way to go, Ingrid! You're right, great minds think alike. The black 4 GB one is the most popular. They were out of it at the Apple Store when I got my wife's, but she likes the white one better anyway. They just announced them on Wednesday, got them in stock on Thursday and they're already a big hit! :D
