Attn Mac lovers, need your help

My good friend just bought a mac book pro (I think) and I want to get her a Christmas gift that she can use with it. Can you think of something that is in the $50 or under price range?

This entirely depends on how she will be using it.  If she'll be using it at a desk, then a keyboard or mouse might be good, but there's no need to get Apple branded keyboards or mice.

If she'll be using it mostly while lounging at a couch or chair, those things won't be useful as she'll probably be using the built in trackpad and keyboard most of the time.

So I guess I don't really have an answer, as it depends on what she'll be using the computer for mostly.  I personally have no accessories for my MacBook Pro, and don't need any, and that could be exactly the case for her too.  Don't rule out that possibility.

DH is huge into what the Macs can do so I got him a subscription to MacWorld last year and he loved it!  If your friend is not too into gadgets, an iTunes gift card is always great.  I think you can even buy tv shows on iTunes now!

I would maybe get her some protective gear. They have hard covers that snap on the outside to protect it. You can get a keyboard cover, and a friend of mine has an anti glare/privacy screen on his. It's really nice. Just a few thoughts.

A little more than $50....but for $69 you could get the Magic Mouse: http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/ -- you could probably find one elsewhere for cheaper too...check MacConnection.com or MacMall.com or Ebay.

This. DH has been drooling over them since they were announced and I just picked one up for him as a gift.

Another suggestion is a nice travel case. You'll need to know what size screen she got though.

I use mine on the couch a lot and I have an iLap laptop stand. It lifts it up a little off of my lap and makes sure there is circulation for the fan and it has a pillow at the front for my wrists to rest on.
