For a relatively inexpensive iPod-related gift idea ($50), why not go with the Accurian iPod docking alarm clock? The unit uses the existing alarm clock function on your iPod, allowing you to wake not to the rooster, or to some buzzed out nightmare of a racket, but to your favorite beats. It also acts as a speaker system so you can plug and play your iPod during those waking hours. It’s design is comfortably retro, but modern enough so that you don’t feel like you woke up on the set of The Brady Bunch. And the best feature: the snooze function runs in increments of 9, that’s right, 9 minutes. Now you can be even more tardy to school/work/liquor store.
