Aside from a docking station what other cool accessories would you suggest?

Instead of a regular docking station, get one of those units that double as a portable speaker station, and an iPod charger.
I love my Altec Lansing InMotion.

I have the Bose Sound Dock - love that.
I don't love the FM car adapters. They're not bad locally, but if you drive distances, you'll find all sorts of interference and have to change frequencies often.
There are other types of car adapters though, and I'd recommend a hard wired connection to your car stereo, especially if you drive a lot, as I do.

Ya' know, I forgot all about the present I bought for my wife on her birthday, it's a great accessory to an iPod, the Griffin Airclick.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/airclick/index.php
there is a good review of it here, http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=700&p=1

It's a fantastic wireless remote control for your iPod, and unlike others it doesn't require a line of site, it's a radio frequency remote. I've been on another floor and have been able to control the iPod on the next floor.

While you are at Griffin's site check out some of there other products too.

Something I've been thinking about getting for myself is iBlue, yes iBlue, http://www.smalldog.com/product/35528

when plugged into your iPod you can sync it with your bluetooth cellphone allowing you to listen to your music and answer the phone when you recieve a call, or make one.

* Enjoy your iPod without missing a call
* No need to remove your music earphones to answer a phone call
* Music automatically mutes when you answer your phone
* Simple and easy to operate

Don't forget an iTunes gift card... Can be very fun to spend. You can pick them up locally at the Radio Shack over by Walgreens, or of course at the Apple store at Short Hills. Or online.

thermal gloves with conductive thumb and forfinger patches, so you can scroll w/o taking off your gloves in really cold weather.
