OK, so wife's bday is coming up & I have.....ZERO.....ideas for her. She's pretty much glued to her 3G ipod Touch, does tiny wings, words for friends, facebook, etc.

Everybody in the house has some form of Touch or Nano or Video so there's plenty of gadgets to go round, but iPad 2 is all I can think of that'd be cool. I know iPad 1's are going for good price these days where you find 'em, but for an extra $100 or so, I'd probably just the 2.

OK?

Too much?

Other suggestions? (I know almost nothing about other tablets)

TIA

I'd actually suggest iPhone if she doesn't already have a decent smartphone. The iPad is cool, but it's less likely to get as much use as a new iPhone. With the iPhone, you can do everything you can do on the iPad, but in a more portable, always-with-you size. All of her apps/content that she uses on the touch will be there.

Zero's trying to ensure my death!! ;)


And while I think iPhone would be cool, it just pains the livin' #!$^~$@ outta me to pay for a data plan for those damn things!!

We both currently have LG Env3's that work great and we got 'em at the end of '09 so we got in under the wire of their mandatory data plan crap.

That's one expensive ass birthday gift.

Ya, but she deserves it.

She probably deserves a new car, but not buying new cars every 4 years is why I wouldn't hesitate to blow several hundred bucks on an iPad for her.

Then again........what's cheap anymore?

Xbox 360?

PS3?

TV? (Pfffft)

Honestly though just get an iPad. Even iPad 1's are good enough.

Wait a minute. Am I missing out on something? Is your wife the ATOT whore? No offense, but you create a post about what you should get her for her Bday and you ask us (ATOT) on what you should get her? As if we could provide an answer. Does she get passed around like that? Why was I skipped?! GIMME!


Anyways, If you don't know WTF to get for her Bday, maybe you should divorce.



I'm just sayin, ya know?

Print this and have it framed up nicely.

I can stop by a local flower shop and make my own flower boquet for about $10.

That's cheap. And women freaking love flowers.

:p

that's true... My GF freaks out because I have some kind of tree in front of my house that makes red-pink flowers in the spring that smell nice.... And I have bushes that have pink flowers ... I didn't plant em, but the woman who had the house for me was into landscraping...

I'd give her my kidney if she needed one. But I think iPad would come before kidney for her.

Although..........now I read that Apple's already stockpiling parts for iPad 3. iPad 2 is now obsolete.......LOL!!!

(FWIW, Costco had zero iPads *AND* they also had no iPhones at the Verizon booth in the warehouse.......sigh)

Sad to say it, but the iPad is the safe bet. I did it for Xmas for the lady, she loves it.

Buy a "double" gift that both of you would enjoy. Example: TV, PS3, vacation, Lego, a gun, etc.
