When you give someone a gift card, a great thing to be able to do is to point out all the potential things they could buy with it. This makes them immediately recognise what a versatile gift they have been given and makes them excited about the prospect of using it. With an iTunes gift card this is particularly the case as they might not be aware of all the different things you can use one to buy – particularly if they have an iPad or an iPhone which has access to the App Store. As such then telling them what they can buy with an iTunes gift card can not only get them more excited at the prospect of shopping with it, but also make sure that they use it to buy something good rather than just frittering it away. Here then we will list some things you can use an iTunes gift card to buy.
Music: The first thing people think of when they think of iTunes is music and this is where you can download a range of tracks for your phone, computer or MP3 player. The great thing about iTunes is that you can select individual tracks rather than having to pick a whole CD, and you can search for old or obscure music which you might never be able to find in a shop. Tell your recipient to have a good look for the tracks they want and not just buy the latest album which won't be using the card to its fullest.
Films: The iTunes gift card isn't just good for music, but also for films and TV episodes. If they have a newer device such as an iPod Touch or an iPad, then they can use this to download a range of films and then watch them on the go. It costs about the same as a rental except here you can keep them and watch them as much as you like.
Apps: This is where the iTunes gift card really comes into its own, and the number of applications and games you can download for an iPad or iPhone is bewildering – any of which can make life more fun and more entertaining. For instance they could download the TomTom app and this would give them turn-by-turn satellite navigation which was just as effective as any appliance they might buy. Alternatively they could download a 3D game such as Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 which is highly addictive and would give them lots to do on any train journey, or they could download the amazing (albeit 2D) Sonic the Hedgehog Episode 4 which is the direct and long awaited sequel to the old megadrive games and every bit as good. Many other apps exist to show you directions to the nearest pub, to tune your guitar, to alter your face, to use an FTP and much more.
Books: iTunes now has a bookstore too and this is for devices such as the iPad which let you read books easily and pleasantly. With an iTunes gift card the world's literature is at your recipient's fingertips.
