This is from a holiday gift guide centerpiece that printed the other day in RedEye about -- what else -- iPhones.
What's better than an iPhone as a holiday gift? All the shiny things that go with it. Make someone's holiday dreams come true with one of these suggestions.
MoGo Talk Bluetooth headset
$129.95 at mogotalk.com
The problem with Bluetooth headsets is that they're either too big or sound terrible. Not MoGo Talk--it's the world's first integrated wireless headset for the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 3G. The headset folds flat and snaps in and out of its protective case which fits seamlessly on the back of an iPhone. An Apple Store exclusive, it's available both online and at retail locations.

iLuv iMM183 dual alarm clock radio with weather alert
$149.99 at i-luv.com
iLuv gives you a lot for $150--two alarms, the ability to charge two iPhones (or one iPhone and an iPod or two iPods) and localized weather warnings that scroll right on the display. Now you'll know when your favorite song comes on and when snow is on the way. Oh, and it sounds pretty good too. Available at many online retailers.
iPhone Smart Case from Waterfield Designs
$35 and $44 at sfbags.com
The little Waterfield company in San Francisco delivers big when it comes to the iPhone. Take the Smart Case. It's less than one-inch thin and comes with a low-profile pocket that can hold your ear buds or credit cards. There are three varieties: one that easily slips into your jeans pocket, another has flaps that flip over your shoulder strap, and the other clips onto your belt.
Bose Mobile in-ear headset
$129.95 at bose.com
If I can give you one piece of advice, it's this: Never skimp on headphones. You'll need to pay a little more to get that rich quality sound you want. The Bose Mobile In-ear headset sounds like you paid hundreds of dollars more than its price. And you can switch seamlessly between your music or podcasts and your phone calls.
Powerjolt for iPhone
$19.95 at griffintechnology.com/products/powerjoltiphone
PowerJolt does one thing and does it well: It lets you charge your iPhone in the car. It features a detachable USB to 30-pin cable for iPod and iPhone and has an amber/green charging status light. Never get stranded without juice again.
iTunes gift card
$15-$100 at apple.com/itunes
The great thing about iTunes gift cards is their versatility. You can buy songs, albums, audiobooks, apps, TV shows, movies--whatever you want and in any combination. It's like handing someone you love a blank slate to draw on however he or she sees fit.
Apple World Travel Adapter Kit
$39 at store.apple.com
Know someone who globetrots with an iPhone? Buy them this kit. Designed to work with iPod, iPhone, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters, Portable Power Adapters, and AirPort Express, it includes a USB power adapter, a USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit electrical outlets around the world.
Rock Band for iPhone
$9.99 at apple.com/itunes
They'll play for months. It's everything you love about Rock Band on the iPhone. It looks great, sounds great and it's just fun. Through the in-app purchasing system, you can add new music from right inside the app. Play solo or with two to four people directly over Bluetooth. Try doing that in the garage.
Xtand for iPhone
about $31-$40 at xtand.net
One of the coolest stands I've ever seen for an iPhone, Xtand reminds me of the look of an Apple LCD display. It holds the iPhone 3G and 3GS vertically or horizontally and rotates 360 degrees. Plus it has cable management and non-slip feet. Perfect for the office, where there are plenty of co-workers around to drool and stare.
Dots Gloves
$15-$25 at dotsgloves.com
When it gets cold and you've got to wear gloves, you lose precious iPhone time. But you won't be able to activate the touchscreen with most regular gloves. Available in three varieties, Dot gloves let you do that. You have to try them to believe them. Don't settle for those gloves with the holes at the top of your fingers--you can be warm and connected at the same time.
Mophie Juice Pack
$99.95 at mophie.com
Hello, extra battery! Although it will make your iPhone thicker to hold, the benefit outweighs the bulk--Mophie's Juice Pack is designed to more than double the charge on your iPhone 3G or 3GS. Use it as a case all the time or just when your iPhone needs an extra boost. Plus, The integrated LED indicator tells you exactly how much juice is left in your pack.
