Gift Cards - photo gift card

download your photo and include it into the gift card which makes in more personal. Grand kids, whatever makes sense. photo. of a trip you took together. In short, a memory as a digital image included as an element of the gift card that arrives with your gift card.
This is a new e-gift card apparently available from Macy's. I'll post a link as soon as I locate it.

I love gift cards, for example I have a lot of friends who love Target and shop there all the time. Well, giving them a gift card is very thoughtful because they shop there already and love it so it's something they'll enjoy. From my perspective when I'm given a gift card its always somewhere I shop or can for a specialty item I'm looking for. Point is the recepeinet gets to buy exactly what he or she wants.
I really like the nice graphics on both the cyber and brick and mortar e-cards. I love them and my friends and family do too.

Carry Hit TV shows in Your Pocket...

So, I'm sitting here ogling photographs of the new iPod nano on the internet and I really love the size and shape of the new design plus the thinness! Last evening I watched the keynote of Steve Jobs unveiling the refreshed and reinvented iPod lineup at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Well, during his speech he was literally slipping the new iPod nano and the brand new iPod Touch in and out of the front pockets of his signature blue jeans. As it turns out he had the redesigned iPod nano in one front pocket and the brand new, stunning iPod Touch in his other front pocket; the new iPod nano is only 0.3 inches thin. It's all just so fun to think about because he walked us through the history of the iPods and how much thicker they used to be yet some how Apple's designers and engineers continue to innovate and make them even thinner while increasing capacity and battery life; no matter whether you're running music or video so you're getting even more bang for your buck.

Which brings me to how damn cool would it be to have episodes of my new-to-me favorite TV show right in my pocket on my
iPod nano or my iPod Classic [new moniker, more on this in a separate post] at least the first two seasons which are available at iTunes. How fun, favorite, hit shows, on the cool new iPods which are hitting stores shelves as I type this. I've owned an iPod going back to the first generation and I was surprised at the quality of the video on what used to be called, iPod Video (it's now called the iPod Classic) and I understand the screen on the new iPod nano is brighter and has the a higher resolution. I have yet to see what video looks like on the iPhone but I understand the color resolution (image quality) are stellar, which is the same on the new iPod Touch. Enjoy.

Hit TV shows, music,
iPod nano and iTunes - it doesn't get any better than that now does it!

I'm thinking the
iPod nano would make a great gift along with an iTunes gift card so the recipient can get started downloading music and video right out-of-the-box as the saying goes.
