All you have to do is ask…
Hi I'm looking for any kind of Ipod for my daughter's birthday and would like to really be able to give her one. She's been good all year and really deserves to get but I just can't afford on right now, thanks.
Craigslist is great place to get good buys for cheap, so if you want to try that, it would be really good. I saw a pink new ipod nano for 85 bucks, so you might want to check there. Good luck!
