Oprah chooses iPod 5G for her Favorite Things

Oprah has added the iPod 5G to her list of Favorite Things for this holiday season. This doesn't come as a huge surprise since various iPods have been featured on previous Oprah Favorite Things lists.

I agree with Ms. O that the iPod 5G is a great gift item, but if you're going to spend 300 bucks on a holiday gift, why not personalize the gift by purchasing or transfering music to the iPod? You can choose albums or make a mix-tape of music for that special person.

I listen to Radio Wazee and then purchase tunes I like from the iTMS by choosing the "find on iTunes" link under the current song. To make a personalized choice I choose a theme (like California or Rain or Silly Sounding Phrases) and find as many new songs with the theme in the lyrics or title.

Take this present to the best-gift-under-the-tree level by choosing (or making) a case that fits with the giftee's personality! Move over Oprah, TUAW's one-upped your gift idea.
