Gift Giveaway: iPod Touch

November 7, 2008
Posted by: Dan T.

iPod TouchWhen was the last time the Holiday season's "gotta have" gadget wasn't from Apple?  Well, they're at it again with the new iPod Touch. There's something about the latest version of the Touch which makes it #1 on my personal holiday wish list.  Not sure if it's all the content that can be loaded on there (8GB = 1,700+ songs, 10K of photos, 10 hours of video), the Wi-Fi capabilities, the 3.5 inch horizontal touch screen, or just the completely cool Apple styling we've come to love, that makes this my wish list topper for 2008. 

At Gifts.com we believe it feels as good to give a great gift as it does to receive a great gift. So while it's still up in the air as to whether or not I get an iPod Touch, I figured it would feel pretty good to give one away.

Want to win? Post a comment below and tell us who you'd give the Touch as a gift to and what you think their reaction will be receiving it! Post a comment by 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 13. One comment per person, please; multiple comments will be discarded. ONE randomly selected entry will win the iPod Touch. Click here to read the official rules.

Here's what people are rapping about...

  • I would give this to my husband who works very hard.He would be so shocked if I gave this IPod to him that he would squeeze me to death!He loves music and has been playing in bands since he was 14 years old.I hope to be your winner.

  • I would love to give this gift to my sister. She has two kids and will never spend any money on herself. She’s been talking about getting a new phone for so long, but doesn’t want to “splurge” on one for herself. This would be a terrific, unexpected gift!

  • OMG!!!!! This would be so fantastic to give to my husband. His reaction would be so cool because I’m a house mom who brings in absolutely no funding (well, if you count my school loans every three months, then I bring in very little); anyways, he works so very hard supporting our three kids and us. He runs his own little business and sometimes it’s hard to get a hold of him because he’s running to this ranch or another to pick up animals. He would be so surprised that I was able to pull this off!!!!!

    Please oh Please oh PLEASE count me in for your giveaway…I’m already subscribed (if this matters) :)

    I would be your best pick for this awesome giveaway!!!!
    -Barb :) ;)

  • I would give this to my husband. He loves his current iPod, but this would be even better!!!

    Posted by Anna G | November 7, 2008 @ 11:16 am

  • I would definitely give this to my husband. He’s still using his first generation iPod, so I know he would be ecstatic to have an upgrade!

    Posted by blsummers | November 7, 2008 @ 11:23 am

  • Wow - what a gift. Who would I give it to? Probably my Apple crazy sister in law, it would complete her collection! And she could download all my favorite classical tunes for my niece/nephew to-be :)

    Posted by hwolff | November 7, 2008 @ 11:28 am

  • I’d give it to my boyfriend, who’d probably be excited for the challenge of converting it to Linux. We’re tech nerds.

    Posted by Elanoa | November 7, 2008 @ 11:33 am

  • I would give the Touch to my girlfriend for her birthday, which was yesterday. I think she would be totally surprised and her mouth would drop upon learning that its hers. A great gift, after all, sometimes takes a little bit longer to get.

    And she would love me forever :)

  • I love the ipod touch. I have one and it is the best thing that was ever invented. I use it at the gym and when im cruising in my car. I would like to give one for my boyfriend for christmas this year. He would love this gift because we both go the gym together and i see him use a regular mp3 player and it would be nice if the both of us go to the gym with ipod touches.

    Posted by jouthavong | November 7, 2008 @ 11:43 am

  • The IPOD touch would be a perfect gift for my husband. He has been wanting a new MP3 for a while and he also wants an I-Phone but we don’t have the right carrier so I think this is a great compromise! We have friends that have them and love them. He’d be totally shocked since I always give him gifts he needs more than wants! Plus I’d get to use it as well!

    Posted by bicentenial1 | November 7, 2008 @ 12:01 pm

  • I would totally love to surprise my wife with a great gift like this IPOD touch. She always tells me not to get her anything for Christmas so we can save money and buy nice gifts for our family. I would love to see the look on her face when she opens a great gift for herself!

    Posted by ecarey000 | November 7, 2008 @ 12:04 pm

  • I would definatly give the Touch to my boyfriend. He always buys me the best gifts and somehow finds just the right thing for me.I know he won’t buy it for himself ,so maybe his reaction will be”Ohh it’s just what i wanted”,and then I’m sure he will want to share. ;)

    Posted by jbre1 | November 7, 2008 @ 12:21 pm

  • Hey! i will be giving this gift to my mom, who i never get a christmas present for because i cant afford one, im only 14 without a job. Shes been wanting an ipod touch since is came out and i really want to get her one. She would be the happiest person in the world if she got the Ipod Touch, from me.

    Thank you!

    Posted by jamhockey7194 | November 7, 2008 @ 12:25 pm

  • I would give it to my 14 year old daughter for Christmas and she would be like OMG

    Posted by lisawasso | November 7, 2008 @ 12:37 pm

  • OK if I win I’d give it to my GC to give to me …. when you reach 61 there’s not much that GC can give for a gift that you don’t already own. I know they’d love giving it and definitely could teach me to use it. Of course, my DD would say she bought it. I have lots of experience of ’showing a surprised face’.

    GREAT idea.

    Posted by DixieQ | November 7, 2008 @ 12:49 pm

  • I would give this gift to my big brother who is in college. When he would get home for christmas i would be the first one to give him his present in excitement. I think i would be more excited for him to be opening it, then him getting it, although he has been asking for this 2g ipod touch since it came out. I am just really excited to be apart of this and i hope i will be your lucky winner!!!=)
    Thank you so much for having this, because i hate when he gets me something really nice and expensive, and i give him nothing. So thanks for giving me the chance to almost get him something nice or possibly getting him something nice!

    =)

  • I would give the Ipod Touch to my husband. He is a Stay At Home dad who never buys himself anything and he deserves it! I think he would about faint if I gave it to him!

    Posted by glickgirls | November 7, 2008 @ 1:05 pm

  • I would give it to my husband. He loves his old iPod but has it so packed full of music that there’s not really any room for photos or video! It would be nice to have one dedicated to that stuff.

    Posted by piepie | November 7, 2008 @ 1:20 pm

  • I would give this to my sister. She absolutely loves the Ipod Touch and all its features but she does not think its the right time to buy one yet. She talks about not only using it for personal use but also incorporating it into her classes since she is a teacher. She would be absolutely floored by this gift and would definitely call it the best she’s ever received!!!!!

    Posted by jlg070 | November 7, 2008 @ 1:37 pm

  • I would love to give the iPod Touch to my cousin, who is just beginning university overseas. She lives a humble life and works extremely hard to achieve success in her education, help out her family, and be a great friend. She lives without many luxuries that others can afford, so to indulge her with something as innovative and impressive as the iPod Touch would be wonderful. She would be so grateful and hopefully realize how much she means to our entire family!

    Posted by uroch12 | November 7, 2008 @ 1:38 pm

  • As amazingly cool as the IPOD touch is . . . it would be hard not to give it to myself . . . LOL, but I would have to give it to my 14 year old son. Recently I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said “a skateboard” (trying to be modest and frugal), but then we seen a commercial with the IPOD touch and his eyes just lit up and he had this undaunted focus on all the displayed capabilities of the IPOD touch. He exclaimed “that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen Mom!”. The next day I looked up the price of the IPOD touch and immediately knew it wouldn’t be possible for me to get him that for Christmas, but if I could see that look on his face again on Christmas when he opened up his IPOD touch . . . it would be absolutely priceless. Thank you for your consideration.

  • I would give this gift to my 16 year old sister. I am sure that she would be extremely shocked, as well as the entire family, that she would get such an expensive gift. Our mother recently passed away this year in the summer, so this would be a nice gift to cheer up for the holidays and remember everything that has happened.

    Posted by kmoua809 | November 7, 2008 @ 2:05 pm

  • Definately my hubby..he’s a huge tech dork! He’s air force & his job is fixing computers & other gadgets. He’s been wanting one for so long & we haven’t been able to afford it. As soon as he can he plans on buying me an Iphone, something his tech/dork friend don’t understand & continue to give him slack for it. They don’t understand why he’d buy his wife the most sought after phone (especially in the tech world) before getting himself one. I do…he’s an amazing husband & father & no one deserves it more or would appreciate it more.

    Posted by jaustin1982 | November 7, 2008 @ 2:45 pm

  • I would give this to my son. He is going through a divorce and has no money to buy anything nice for himself. He is a wonderful father to his 2 little girls and makes sure they have everything they need, never giving a thought to himself. It would be nice to be able to do something nice for him.

    Posted by gstef | November 7, 2008 @ 2:46 pm

  • This is a no brainer. My 9 year old daughter has been saving for months to get one. She is a straight A student, in the choir, recycle club, library helper and a Girl Scout, but most of all she is our little Mommy, helping whenever she can with her baby brother. She never asks for anything and understands when money is tight. She does chores and saves any money she earns so that one day she will have enough to a touch. This would blow her mind, she would scream a lot and would probably cry, then without even thinking would give her older brother her original iPod and would use her savings to buy gifts from the Angel tree.

  • I would give it to my very cool but i-less husband. He works incredibly hard to support us (me and our two children) and asks for nothing for himself.

    He would say iLOVE IT!

    Posted by Mattnu | November 7, 2008 @ 3:04 pm

  • I would give this gift to my dad, because he is always working very hard for my family. I think it would be a nice thank -you gift for all he has done for me, to make my life as carefree, and awesome as it is. I think he would really enjoy going to the job-site everyday, with something to hold all of his music on. this is an awesome contest, and even if I dont win, I am thankful for the opportunity to even enter! thanks guys!

  • i would give it to my daughter and i think she would squeal with delight.

    Posted by ravengoth | November 7, 2008 @ 3:11 pm

  • What a wonderful give away during a time when everyone could use the extra help!

    I would give this to my boyfriend for christmas. We’ve been together for 8 years and I just started a new job with not an extra penny to rub together. He still has the very first generation ipod (with the 4 buttons above the wheel) and he would just love it. I think he would be speechless since we promised a very cheap Christmas for eachother. He’ll definitely enjoy it!

    Posted by emcculloh | November 7, 2008 @ 3:13 pm

  • I would give this to my sister. With three kids and a busy work schedule, she could really use it (although she doesn’t realize it). I think she would probably faint first and then cry happy tears if when I gave it her. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

    Posted by RobsGirl123 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:16 pm

  • I would give it to my grandmother. She would look at it, smile, then set it on the coffee table and put her drink on it.

    Posted by btvb71 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:16 pm

  • I would love to give this to my boyfriend of 8 years. We promised eachother it would be a cheap Christmas and this would just blow him away. He is still using the first gen ipod (the one with the 4 buttons above the wheel). He would be speechless and I that would make me very happy. He is a great guy and deserves a great present.

    Posted by emcculloh | November 7, 2008 @ 3:17 pm

  • I”d give this to my daughter for christmas, she’s been wanting one for 2 years now. She would be beyond thrilled (she’s 13). Thanks

  • I would love to give this to my daughter. She lives with a couple of guys in a band. Loves her Ipod nano but she needs something bigger to hold all her music. She would simply fall over if I gave this to her because her father is on strike right now and she knows this would not be a gift we could afford.

    Posted by gigitoo | November 7, 2008 @ 3:22 pm

  • I would love to have this Ipod Touch to give to my loving partner Danielle. We’ve struggled so much over the last 3 years. Danielle has worked 2 and even 3 jobs at a time when I became pernanently disabled due to a spinal condition & over 12 surgeries. After working every job from retail to cleaning toilets, she has finally been given the opportunity of an excellent job with a railroad. I want to let her know how much I appreciate all she’s done to support us and how proud I am of her. This Ipod would be the perfect way to do just that. I cannot afford this on my own, so winning this would be the greatest of gifts. Thank You.

    Posted by Rie | November 7, 2008 @ 3:22 pm

  • I would give it to my husband. He would be in shock then he would need a crash course on how to operate it. Thanks for the contest!

    Posted by T2times99 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:22 pm

  • I would give to my roommate. He has tons to music and a smallish MP3 player, so he’s constantly having to download different music. This would hold most of what he likes to listen to. He would be stunned.

    Posted by sito | November 7, 2008 @ 3:24 pm

  • Actually I would probably wrap it and give it to myself from Santa. I don’t have a portable music player but my kids do so it’s my turn now. fingers crossed!

    Posted by tiffie555 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:31 pm

  • I would love to give this to my step-daughter. She would be overjoyed at a gift like this.

    Posted by adamjparker | November 7, 2008 @ 3:33 pm

  • My husband would be so surprised. He’s been wanting one.

    Posted by Gracie | November 7, 2008 @ 3:40 pm

  • I would give it to my mom because she works extremely hard and has just had another son. I imagine she would be absolutely speechless with delight.

    Posted by cnnbm1 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:42 pm

  • I would give this to my older sister. She’s always gotten me cool gifts growing up, so to turn the tables and get her something like this would be great. She loves her ipod now but this would blow her away.

    Posted by bazonnie | November 7, 2008 @ 3:43 pm

  • I would give it to my future son-in-law. For such a young handsome progressive and impressive young man, he is completely oblivious to the current technology and I think once he has experience with something amazing like the new iPOD touch he would be hungry to learn more.

    Posted by bakergirl | November 7, 2008 @ 3:43 pm

  • I would give it to ME and my reaction would be a SMILE!

    Posted by berwyn | November 7, 2008 @ 3:43 pm

  • i am praying i win this for my daughter she has had a rough year really rough too much for a kid so i hope santa and god are watching and listening thanks

    Posted by cadiebug | November 7, 2008 @ 3:47 pm

  • I would give it to my brother-in-law who teaches music to kindergarten and first grade. He will love this as a teaching tool.

    Posted by screemeroo | November 7, 2008 @ 3:49 pm

  • I would give this iPod to my son. he’s always wanted one and I have tried for a long time to win one. Maybe this will be the time!! I think he would hug me very hard and smile from ear to ear.

    Posted by klm39 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:51 pm

  • I would give it to my mom who works extremely hard and now has another son. I imagine she would be speechless with delight.

    Posted by cnnbm1 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:52 pm

  • I would give it to my 12 year old son. He is such a big help to me all the time. I rarely have to ask him he just sees what needs to be done and jumps in whether it is taking care of his siblings, making a meal cleaning or whatever there is. He is truly a lifesaver most days and he deserves something special.

    Posted by tritty74 | November 7, 2008 @ 3:54 pm

  • I would give it to my husband. We promised each other we wouldn’t buy each other gifts this year. We would use the money on other people. So I think his first reaction would be angry, thinking I broke my promise and then I think he would disappear on to the computer downloading songs for the next week or so.
    Great contest! Thanks so much!

    Posted by Jessnik79 | November 7, 2008 @ 4:02 pm

  • I would give it to my wife. She has been wanting one, and would be VERY surprised!

    Posted by abfantom | November 7, 2008 @ 4:03 pm

  • I would giv eit to me 16 year old son. He is the only one of the four kids that doesnt have an ipod so when we travel he borrows mine. He would be thrilled to have a better one than the others have and not have to share. Finally he would have one up on them. Way to go Jonathan! Good luck from mom.

    Posted by sheliy | November 7, 2008 @ 4:06 pm

  • I’d give it to my daughter….and she’d be absolutely thrilled!! She has a little Shuffle now…..and there’s never room for all of the music she wants to listen to on any given day. This would be a wonderful surprise!

    Posted by starsmom | November 7, 2008 @ 4:07 pm

  • I would like to win this to give to my 13 year old son.I know it would seem like a lot for a 13yr old,but he is very reponsible and unlike his twin sisters, he would take vety good care of this.

    Posted by playwanda | November 7, 2008 @ 4:25 pm

  • i would give it to my girlfriend.

    she won an iphone last year but the man responsible for prizing left the company and she was gutted. if i won i would give it to her for Christmas, i KNOW she would be over the moon to get it.

    we cant afford one right now and this would replace the won she was had won but never received.

    hope i win :)

    Posted by fayefaye5 | November 7, 2008 @ 4:31 pm

  • I would give this to my “tween” daughter!! If she didn’t die of shock first, she would be over the moon!

    Posted by hollyb | November 7, 2008 @ 4:32 pm

  • I would give this to my wife’s two younger brothers and sister to share. They would absolutely have fun with this.

    Posted by penemio | November 7, 2008 @ 4:34 pm

  • I would give this to my daughter, who will give me the biggest smile in the world and wrap her arms around me and tell me “Thanks, Mom, I love you.”

    Posted by KellieLor | November 7, 2008 @ 4:42 pm

  • I would give it to my brother. He would be shocked, since we really rarely exchange gifts, let alone the expensive ones.

    Posted by AngelMeza | November 7, 2008 @ 4:47 pm

  • If I would win I would give this to my son. He would be so excited to get one of these. He has been wanting one for some time.

    Posted by kathyluman | November 7, 2008 @ 5:07 pm

  • I would give this to my mom and she would probably start jumping up and down because she’s wanted one for a really long time and no one has been able to afford one for her. She would be so shocked! :D

    Posted by dawnofday04 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:12 pm

  • I would give it to my boyfriend for Christmas and actually we would likely end up sharing it. Neither of us has anything like this…not even an MP3 player so we need to get into the digital age! Thanks for the chance, justicecw@hotmail.com

    Posted by justicecw | November 7, 2008 @ 5:14 pm

  • I would love to give this to my twin boys. They saw it advertised on tv yesterday, and I overheard them say it was cool. They would be excited to have this cool iPod Touch. They would give my a great big hug and call me the coolest mom ever!

    Posted by shecandoit | November 7, 2008 @ 5:18 pm

  • to my wife, she would flip!

    Posted by agordon10 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:23 pm

  • This would be THE BEST present for my little sister, Heather. She’s in high school now, and I’m finishing up my Junior year in college. I can’t afford to buy her anything really special for Christmas because I really don’t have enough money (college loans, etc.) Not only that, but because of the recent recession, my dad lost his job (he is a construction worker). This would really just make her Christmas, she deserves something so fun and trendy. I TOTALLY understand what it’s like to be in high school and want something cool that everyone else seems to have!

    Thanks for the opportunity, I hope I can win this for her!

    Posted by luckysundays | November 7, 2008 @ 5:23 pm

  • I would give it to myself. I would be happy when I got it.

    Posted by rayreadb | November 7, 2008 @ 5:28 pm

  • If I would be so lucky to be selected as the winner, I most certainly would give it to my husband! I know when he would get it for Christmas his first response would be “What’s this?” Then I will just smile as I watch our children have to explain to their father how to use technology in this day in age!! He and I both work hard to provide for our three wonderful young children with gifts for the holidays and throughout the year, and every year at Christmas we can’t treat ourselves to anything nice because we always put our children first, and will always provide for them before ourselves so many years we always say “we don’t have the money, don’t get me anything.” It would mean the world to me if for just one time, I can surprise him with a AWESOME gift such as this, instead of just socks, underwear, clothes you know the basics we need anyway that end up as Christmas gifts! I would love your consideration as a winner of the iPod Touch! Happy Holidays!

  • I’d have to give this to my stepfather. He gave up everything he has to move to California to pursue his career…I’d think he’d love love love to have some technology back in his life!

    Posted by skalobster11 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:37 pm

  • My son has wanted on of these Ipods for so long and it has not been in my budget to get him one. He is so deserving and helps to do all he can to support our family and siblings.
    If he received an Ipod touch he would be shocked for sure!

    Posted by colleend | November 7, 2008 @ 5:37 pm

  • What a great opportunity! I would surly be giving this to my daughter. We only have one ipod… (old school version! ;o) ) for our family to share, and as a young teen… her music selections are quite different from ours. I know she would be so greatful to be able to have one of her own… and a better version than mom & dad’s!!! … Does it get any better!?! Thank you or the chance!

  • I would give this to my 18 yr old daughter who has been wanting one of these since she heard of them out! She loves her ipod but wants a new one cause they are cool! But too expensive for mom and dad to buy for her!

    Posted by frogz60 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:49 pm

  • That’s so incredible of you to offer such a sweet gift to one of us. Well, I’d be giving the iPod Touch to my husband. I’ll tell you why. He loves gadgets and new technology so much and he fell in love with even the 1st gen iPhone but due to financial reasons didn’t get one. Then again when the iPhone 3G was introduced, he was first in line to get one. But, the selfless creature he is, he didn’t get it for himself but bought it for me. Should I win this, this will be the ultimate gift I can get him this Christmas!

    Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to everyone. Happy holidays!

    Posted by shriya | November 7, 2008 @ 5:50 pm

  • My daughter has been asking for one for over a year now and I just haven’t had the money to get her one. She’d be shocked if she got this from me! She’d probablly cry!

    Posted by denyse_g | November 7, 2008 @ 5:52 pm

  • My husband and I have never owned an ipod. My husband has wanted one for so long so I would give it to him and I think he would be shocked! I know he would love using it while he worked out!

    Posted by sheri8259 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:53 pm

  • I would give this to my mom. About a year ago she was nice enough to give me her ipod because I really wanted one and she didn’t really use it that much. Unfortunately, the ipod broke a month ago, and I felt really, really bad. So I’d love to be able to give her this ipod as a kind of thank-you for everything she’s done for me!

  • i would give it to harry and he would be like wow thats great

    Posted by beaker28 | November 7, 2008 @ 5:54 pm

  • If I were to win the Apple i-pod Touch I would present it to my techno teen son.
    Being the conservative father of two, okay… cheap, penny pinching dad I bought my son a knock off MP3 player a couple of years ago that is less than most any teen would desire, boy was he surprised, and not in a good way. I took no consideration as to video or photo ability, and the one I bought for him has none, I totally blew it. I did; however, consider the fact that it should be trendy in this case it is bright orange (wow that has to be cool, right?). As a technically challenged dad it would be very satisfying to have a second chance at giving him an MP3 to be proud of. In this instance I reflect on the old adage of “An apple a day”, and in this case it keeps dad away from an area of shopping for my teen son for a Christmas gift I know absolutely nothing about.

  • I’ll give it to my girlfriend… and maybe she’ll give me one too. :)

  • I would give this to my husband. He’s always doing for the family and I and would never treat himself to something this nice. I know that he would love to have one of these, because our friend has one and my husband was recently admiring his and playing with it, so I know that he would love this. He would be so excited to receive this and would also be so surprised. What a great gift this would be. Thanks so much for this wonderful and very generous giveaway.

  • I would give this to a close friend who works very hard to balance school, family, and work and is having a tough time doing so right now. It’s a rough time of the year right now and this would just be something to brighten his day and remember that after all he does looking out for others, there are people that care about him too and are there to see that his efforts are not going to waste. He would love it so much.

  • oh this is fun!! let’s see… i’d hide it way under the tree way in the back where it can’t be seen. Then on Christmas, I’d pull it out for my husband who would totally not be expecting another gift. then he’s unwrap it cause he didn’t have a chance to peek. I just know his grin would be ear to ear!! He’d be like” i wanted one of these for so long, you’re the best wife ever!” Then he’d give me a big hug and kiss!! awww… sweet! thanks for the chance! ;-)

    Posted by samsakara | November 7, 2008 @ 7:55 pm

  • I’d give it to my retired parents. They struggle with their iMac and no doubt will suffer through the iPod Touch. They still don’t understand Youtube. It will be interesting to see if it will turn into a paper weight. Their reactions? Repulsion mixed with a bit of new gadget glee from my Dad. Then horror as it’s another gadget that has to connect to their iMac. Muhaha.

  • If i won the iPod Touch I would give it to my mail man! This poor guy drudges through the rain and mud to bring us our mail each day. He is always humming a tune, petting a dog, and grabbing our paper on the way to the mailbox. I would love to be able to say thanks for all of the little things he goes out of his way to do. Happy Holidays and good luck to all!

    Posted by scrunquist | November 7, 2008 @ 8:40 pm

  • I have to be honest in that I’d give it to me. I lost my IPod on an airplane back from Hawaii when I let my youngest daughter listen to it, and I wasn’t sitting with her. When we got off, I though she had it. She didn’t. I was SO bummed.

    I’d be very relieved to get one again!!

    Posted by chickensmama | November 7, 2008 @ 8:52 pm

  • I would give it to my girlfriend…Funny…I have the same story as two posts above. My girlfriend broke hers and has wanted a new one (wasn’t an ipod touch, nor did she want one because they cost so much!). She would love it…

    Posted by nystical | November 7, 2008 @ 9:34 pm

  • I would give it to my husband whose mouth would drop . He has wanted one and probably doesn’t think I would spend the money to buy him one.

    Posted by pbrint | November 7, 2008 @ 9:36 pm

  • I would actually give this to my daughters as a joint present. They are always wanting to listen to an ipod, but they are just so expensive.They were given a disney mix stick which you can not download any movies on from itunes, so it just sits in the closet. They would be so super excited to get this gift it would blow them away. It was what my girls wanted the most this Christmas from Santa. They would probably dance all around the Christmas tree and then I would have to figure out how they would share it. LOL…but that is fine by me just to know they were happy.

    Posted by Aisling | November 7, 2008 @ 9:58 pm

  • I would give the IPod touch to myself. Wait, wait before you all think that I’m a selfish loser. Allow me to explain. Well you see I lost my job last week. I worked for this company (that shall remain nameless but “we’ll pick you up”) for ten long years and felt pretty comfortable about my place in the company considering they never had layoffs and I’m a pretty darn good worker. Well, that all changed recently so here I am at home entering to win sweepstakes contest. Here’s why I feel I should get the iPod, I’m desperately seeking employment but in the mean time, I’m going to work on myself. I’ve found that I work out better and longer when I borrow my daughter’s iPod nano. The problem with that is she doesn’t really like to part with her little gadget. So, I need my own. I can stand to lose a few pounds for health reasons as well as for personal reasons. I need to feel confident when go for interviews and quite frankly I’m feeling a little useless and fat. So, if I win the iPod, I’m making a commitment to lose 5 lbs the first month after receiving my little iPod touch motivator. :)

    Thanks for your consideration,

    Beach City Mom

One of em asked me to put all my music on her 120 GB ipod classic. I lost it and had to pay to get her a new one…Sad hunn! Anyway even if I don’t get one from you guyz I’m happy I shared this…..woooh!

    Posted by bhriguaneja | November 7, 2008 @ 11:32 pm

  • I’d give it to my best friend, since she’s the only one rocking AT&T service. Plus she would take care of it like I would, without a single smudge. She would probably just laugh and tell me her gift is terrible in comparison.

    Posted by Madx0r | November 7, 2008 @ 11:34 pm

  • I would give this to my brother. I’m only 7 years older, but had a huge hand in raising him. Part of that included teaching him about music, and to appreciate all genres and decades of music, and broaden his horizons, not just listen to whatever’s on some FM radio station. And I think I’d did a pretty good job. I know his initial reaction would be to knock me over with a giant hug. And I would hope that when I’m away at school he’d think of me whenever he used it. We’re really close, so living so far away is going to be really difficult.

  • I would give it to my 75 year old mother. I have one and she thinks that it is great. I think it would be great for her to watch videos and listen to music while she’s waiting at the doctors office and to store photos of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I think she would be so excited and show it off to all her bowling buddies.

  • This decision would be hard..if I give it to my daughter she will scream and yell and jump up and down then punch my arm and say your the greatest Mom. Or I could give it to my hubby that would give me a great big kiss and hug then say..you have to set it up and teach me. Either way I would love the outpour of expression!!

    Posted by twinkle | November 8, 2008 @ 12:15 am

  • Without a doubt, I would give it to my sister. She is my rock, there for everything, always willing to hold me up, make me laugh or cry with me. She recently lost her mp3 player to theft and doesn’t have the money to replace it. She would be speechless. She has been trying to save for a new one and would be floored to receive one as a gift.

He would hate if I spent that kind of money on him myself, but I know he would love to have it. I also know that he would never spend that kind of money on himself. He is a music fanatic!

He is a soldier due to be deployed next month, and this would be an AWESOME way to take his music, photos, and movies with him!! I’m pretty sure I’d get a great reaction and probably a kiss or two….

    Posted by Meg | November 8, 2008 @ 1:19 am

  • What an awesome prize! I’d give the iPod Touch to my mom. She’s just got a new job a few months ago, and in another couple of months, she’s also going back to school. She loves listening to music, so this would be a fun gift to give her as a “You can do it!” pick-me-up. As for her reaction, she’d be shocked. She never expects me to get her a gift, because I don’t have the money right now. So for Christmas, she buys herself something, and gives it to me to put away for her. To receive something like this would definitely catch her off-guard!

  • Wow!! This is a great contest and a great gift. Thank you for doing this.

    I’d give this gift to my brother, Marc. Marc is an air force cadet who has recently been stationed in Uzbekistan near the Afghanistan border and has just come back home to Texas. Being away from the family so long in the harsh conditions has left him feeling out of touch with society and lost. His very favorite thing to do is to run (with listening to music a close second). When he does that, he says it takes him to do a different happier place and he feels like he’s truly back home. Since he has so many good memories running before he left for Uzbekistan, it takes him back to the place before he had that tough experience. His problem is he doesn’t have a lot of money and he can’t afford a very good MP3 player. I know if he got this iPod, he would go crazy, jumping on iTunes immediately (ok - after jumping up and down for 5 minutes) and downloading a bunch of new music. He’d then quickly hit the road with headphones in ears and a huge smile on his face.

  • would go to my teenage son who would yell with joy and actually give me a big hug and kiss…then run off to his friends to show it off…he’s a great kid, asks for very little and really deserves this.
    THANK YOU!

  • I would give the Ipod Touch to my little sister. She has always wanted an mp3 player and I think she totally deserves it. She just started college and it would be helpful to have some tunes she can listen to while she is walking to class and studying. I think she would be so shocked and just keep saying “are you serious?” Then she would jump and down screaming and say thank you 100 times!

  • I would give it to my oldest son and then take his ipod. I really want an ipod for me.

  • I think I would give the Touch to my best friend at work. He’s been wanting and MP3 player for a while. At times I’ve had to let him borrow mine. We have slightly different music tastes and doesn’t always like my songs. If he were to have his MP3 player especially the the Touch, I think he would flip out. He will be able to listen his own music selection, which includes Bachata, all day long.
