For what it's worth, my most successful present last year was a Bose Sound
Dock and an iPod Classic with 160 GB of storage. My wife had great fun
putting all of our CDs into the iPod, and the Sound Dock not only sounds
great; it sits discretely on top of a desk taking up a lot less room and
making a less intrusive statement than our old stereo gear. Yes, it is
possessions. But it has a discrete elegance that even someone who is into
living simply can love.
Just a thought.
