iPod engraving? Any suggestions? Song lyrics?

I'm getting DH an iPod nano for xmas. You can get it engraved for free when you order it but what on earth do I choose to have engraved? There are quite a few funny websites with ideas (mostly naff or rude) but I thought some famous song lyrics could be good. My brain is dead. Any ideas?! I have to hurry up and decide if I want it delivered for xmas!

wot sort of music does your dh like?

dingdongmeggymooonhigh · 13/12/2005 21:47

I don't think it's chav I think it's splendid. I might get one for dh and personalise it that way he won't be able to give it away like most pressies I give him...mmmmm.

all i can think of is that line from teenage kicks that john peel had on his headstone. thats the kind of thing my dh would like. try to find the lyrics of a song he likes by doing a search on the internet (and hopefully it won't be 'no no no no no no no no no no no no theres no limit')

I think its cool but i did read somewhere that the engraving service is a marketing gimmick so that they lose resale value should you wish to sell it on and upgrade... am trying not to be cynical...

DH likes all music. Its taken me this long to decide a present for him and now it is hard all over again Grrrr

lol Great mama!

But if it's a general quote rather than a personal one it wouldn't affect resale i don't think.

i think it was a poor batch and they are now 'new and improved' according to DH.

When dh got me an iPod for my birthday, I hoped for a nice romantic message - I love your Mrs Mumbojumbo, all my love Mr Mumbo. What it actually said was my name!

Still mustn't grumble the Nano is fab!

lol @ hellomama suggestion!
