Storage space is needed
microSD cards:

Multimedia dock: While most times we find ourselves listening to music on the go, often times its good to just sit down and relax and listen. Multimedia docks are a great way to do so, as they can easily be sat on a desk or table.
In-Car Speakerphones: No better way to take your tunes with you on the road than with a car kit speakerphone. Not only can users enjoy hands free conversations while driving (and avoid tickets) but they allow the user to stream their entire media library through the car stereo using the built-in FM Transmitter.
Staying charged up
Spare batteries:
It's no secret that playing media on devices can tear through a battery rather quickly. For that, if you're picking up goodies for the music lover in your house you'll also want to be sure the music never stops by grabbing an extra or extended battery for them.
Spare chargers: Spare chargers are great as well. Be it for in the car or on the go having a spare charger kicking around is always a good thing.
Cables: Let's not forget, cables. Cables are great for not only charging your device but also great for transferring media to and from which is essential for the music lover.
