I need gift suggestions

Backstory:
June 23rd is my girlfriend's and my 2nd anniversary. I'm the hardest person in the world to shop for because I pretty much buy whatever I want for myself. She wants me to give her five or so gift ideas, soon, and I can't really think of much. She spends a lot on me when it comes to gifts. I've tried to tell her not to, but it never changes anything, so now I just accept it and figure I might as well give her suggestions for things I'll actually like rather than having her waste money on something I won't (which hasn't happened, by the way).

We were supposed to go on a trip to Mexico together and she was going to pay for it as my gift. Our plans fell through, though, so here we are.

To give a general idea of price (she absolutely refuses to set a price limit), the last gift she gave me was a 60 GB 5th gen iPod. I'm planning on getting her a 30 GB (she doesn't need 60 GB of space and would prefer the slimmer size), accessories for using it in her car (her car lacks a CD player), and possibly a few other smaller things, depending on what I can think of.

Some things I've thought of include a mini fridge, PSP, DS Lite (really don't know how much I'd use either of those though, last portable I owned was an original grey brick Gameboy in the early 90s), or digital camera.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The PSP would be best for you in the long run, as far as multi-use. The DS Lite would just have a lot more...experimental games. Though the PSP has its share.

I'd suggest the PSP. Especially since a camera add-on is rumored for it. Not to mention the price just dropped to 200 :D

I'd just feel bad if she got me one and I didn't end up playing it very often. I spend most of my time in class, at work, or with her, so I'm not really sure when I'd get much use out of it.

*shrug* I can't tell you whether you'll use it or not. That much is up to you. You could get her to get you a portable HD, or even a nice SED display if it's out by then. Supposed to debut for sub-200, have all the quality of CRT, and yet be as small as an LCD, or around there at least, and much lighter than a CRT.

As much as I love stuffed animals, I think I'll pass.

Dang mang. I'd say go with the digital camera... problem is, the nicer ones can be pretty pricey, but if money is no object...

Go out and find a bunch of stuffed cows, and then present them to her and tell her she's a Ten Cow Woman.

I'd say the same, PSP you run the risk of not using if you don't like it, camera on the other hand always comes in useful. I doubt the add-on for the PSP camera wise would be anywhere close to the quality of a straight up camera.
People of our generation should not be subjected to mornings.

Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. It's pretty sad that I'm a geek in 2006 and I've never owned a digital camera (unless my cellphone or webcam count).

So you were the dude who was spamming massassi chat the other night.
Nothing to see here, move along.

I vote for the digital camera. It can capture more nice memories than a gaming machine can.
