Best Buy’s Apple iPod Nano and Chocolate Gift Set

June 1st, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I was just sent an 4GB Apple iPod Nano and Chocolate Gift Set for review. Can I tell you how excited I was? An iPod and chocolate! I was like a little girl at Christmas opening her most wanted gift. I didn’t already own an iPod. Yes, I know it’s hard to believe but I’m a little behind in the electronic gadget department. I don’t even know how to work my VCR and got my first debit card just a few weeks ago.

The iPod Nano came packaged in a mod polka-dot-patterned box inspired by the prism of iPod nano colors. It comes in pink or silver. I’m a die hard pink fan so I was thrilled that mine was pink. The iPod Nano has a very sexy design and is small enough to fit in my pocket, purse, or palm. I tucked it in my pocket and jammed to 80’s music while doing my chores. I had no idea that listening to music would make mundane chores more fun. My house is the cleanest it’s been in a long time!

Setting it up was super easy. Let me remind you that I can’t even work a VCR. I plugged the USB cable into my computer, entered some information and was good to go within minutes. The iPod Nano itself is also easy to use. The feature I like most is that I can put photos of my kids on it. Much more stylish than a big brag book of photos. A couple clicks and I have a cool slideshow to show family and friends.

At the bottom of the gift box is a lovely surprise of pink-foiled chocolate meltaways. The gift box also includes a gift card. The Apple iPod Nano and Chocolate Gift Set are a delightful gift for the women in your life. The price is $214.99 and will be available in Best Buy stores beginning May 6,2007. You can find more information here. I’m off to eat chocolate and listen to music.

    I didn’t know you could put photos in! Sheesh, mine is sooo ancient. And from China. Real Apple, but from China. It’s name is Deloo when I plug it into iTunes. As in, Jennifer, Kristie, Deloo. That’s it’s name. Or something. Anyway, it doesn’t work the best. BEST BUY: I have a blog too. I’m a mom too. And it’s a good blog, sure to grow more very soon. I could use a new iPod.

    Kristie: I can’t believe you only just got a debit card. I honestly don’t believe you. Insanity.
