The top 3 mp3 players to consider would be the Apple IPod, Creative Labs Zen, and the newcomer, the Microsoft Zune. Any of these are available in many hard disk options, ranging from 1gb-80gb. The cost of one of these can go from either $75-$600, depending on the size of the hard drive.

3. iDog. What is it you may ask? Well it's a cute, fun, singing and dancing dog! It allows you to plug in your music player into it, and it will dance and play the music out of the built in speakers or through headphones.

Those are some questions to keep in my mind when shopping for a scarf for her.

7. Personalized M&M Candies. Want to get creative? Well, personalized M&M Candies is a great way to show that you've put thought into the gift. At $46 a box, you can customize what you want it to say on the M&M and it makes a great gift. It'll definitely bring some laughter and appreciation from her.

9. Candles. They always make a great gift for a girl no matter what the occasion is. It's a very sweet gift that she can always enjoy. A favorite amongst girls are the fruit scented candles. They'll smell the great fragrance of their candle while it's lit and who'll they think about every time? You, the one who purchased them for her.

10. Board Games. Does she love to play monopoly or trivial pursuit? Well, there are many new board game themes out there. What is her favorite show? Is she into pop culture? Many board games these days are based off a specific show or just pop culture in general. Again, consider her interests and base your decision off of that.
