dude, if your lady thinks your cheap for giving her an ipod shuffle, then leave her. she's going to be more trouble than that later down the road. like, if my girlfriend gave me an ipod shuffle i'd wet my pants with glee. and if it were free i'd be happier, because then she wouldnt have wasted all that money on me. ya know. and if she does think you're cheap, then take it back and tell her to get over herself. a nice gift is still a nice gift, without regard to the price. bah, there are chicks out there like that, and those chicks are teh suck.
