Let's face it - it's December 22. If you haven't found the perfect present for someone yet, you're running out of time. A present should be clever, thoughtful and above all - useful.  That's why I love the Sandisk Sansa Clip+.

I know what you're thinking - if I were going to buy an mp3 player, I'd just buy an iPod. But consider the Sansa Clip+ for a moment. Not only is it offered in 3 colors (red, blue & black) but you can also buy it at varying size levels (2, 4 & 8 GB). Plus, you can listen to FM radio (your iPod can't do that!) and when you begin to run out of room for all your amazing music, the Sansa Clip+ offers an expandable memory slot (also something your iPod can't do). Also you can record your thoughts, soundbytes or other audio musings with the built in microphone & recorder.

The USB connectivity makes the Sansa Clip+ a no-brainer for even the most technologically challenged.  To load songs onto the player, all you have to do is drag & drop your music files from your hardrive to the player's location on your computer. Simple enough?

If you're in the last minute rush, you can pick up the Sandisk Sansa Clip+ at Wal-Mart, Best Buy & there's even still time to order from Amazon.

What's your idea of the perfect last minute present?
