if they'll use it to exercise, try an armband case. if not, the suggestions already given are great - if you want to go a tad more spendy, a speaker dock is great and will allow your kid to set up their ipod to use as a stereo in their room. if you want to go a tad less spendy, a good pair of earbuds, an iTunes gift card to buy music and tv shows, and a cute case are perfect.
