Apple Gift Card
You can never go wrong with an Apple gift card. Buy one or more online in any denomination from $25 to $2,500. To purchase higher amounts, or more than 10 gift cards, just call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Apple Gift Cards cannot be redeemed at the iTunes Music Store; purchase an iTunes Music Card instead. You can pick up gift cards at your local Apple store or order them online and have shipped anywhere.

InvisibleSHIELD
Zagg’s invisibleSHIELD is an exceptionally clear and virtually indestructible film that will protect your iPhone 3G from unsightly scratches. The invisibleSHIELD is only .2 millimeters thick—making it the slimmest iPhone 3G skin or iPhone 3G cover of its kind—and is backed by a lifetime warranty. There is one caveat; it is extremely difficult to install. If you have the patience, however, it is well worth it. It ships next day.
