iSkin Cerulean XLR Earbuds
$29.99

These tiny earbud-style headphones are brightly tinted, and come in eight eye-catching color combinations, which makes them a great holiday gift for an iPod Shuffle owner. The iPod Shuffle is designed to be worn in a visually noticeable place (the first generation of Shuffles are made to be worn around the neck, and the newest Shuffles clip onto belts or pockets) so an iPod Shuffle owner is sure to enjoy wearing a set of earbuds that compliment his or her apparel. Plus, the sound quality provided by these tiny earbuds is generally considered to slightly above the level of sonic quality provided by the earbuds that come with the iPod Shuffle, which makes this a holiday gift that is practical as well as attractive. To make an iPod Shuffle stand out from the pack, there's no visual statement quite as appealing as the bold design of the new iSkin Cerulean XLR Earbuds, and the sound quality certainly stands up to the look.

Pros: The bold color range makes this a great holiday gift for a fashion-conscious Shuffle owner.
Cons: Not as good a holiday gift for an iPod Shuffle owner who is an understated dresser.

BTI Auto/Air Adapter

This useful accessory is a perfect holiday gift for an iPod Shuffle owner who spends a lot of time on the road. Whether your favorite iPod Shuffle owner is more likely to log driving time on the way to work, bus time on the way to school, or plane time on the way to destinations across the globe, the chances are high that somewhere, sometime, they will find themselves without access to a wall outlet, and with an iPod Shuffle that is out of juice. When that time comes, they'll be glad to be toting this holiday gift, which can plug into a car or plane to provide power for the journey.

Applesauce Scratch Removal Kit
$19.95

If your favorite iPod Shuffle owner seems to already have all the accessories on the market, an iPod scratch removal kit is a smart and useful holiday gift. One of the great things about an iPod Shuffle is that it can go anywhere, and fits easily into a pocket or a purse. However, the portability of the iPod Shuffle coupled with its delicate size and vulnerable finish means that an iPod Shuffle can pick up lots of scratches and cosmetic imperfections after even just a few months of regular use. To give a holiday gift that makes an old iPod Shuffle feel new again, or keeps a new iPod Shuffle in top condition, try the Applesauce Scratch Removal Kit. This affordable package offers everything an iPod Shuffle owner needs for erasing scratches and blemishes, and restoring the smoothness and shine to a well-loved iPod device. Learn more about the Applesauce product line and purchase a kit online at the official Applesauce website, http://www.applesaucepolish.com/
Pros: Keeps any Shuffle looking "like new."
Cons: Takes a few hours to use successfully.
