The gift that keeps on giving (to you).

Want to know how to present yourself with an endless amount of FREE presents that you are guaranteed to enjoy when you need them most? Here's exactly what you do. Listen closely.

Load your ipod or music player of choice with random, sometimes terrible, yet incredible songs. We're talking one-hit wonders, chart toppers, stuff you listened to (on the radio) when you were 13. These are the files that are in your itunes library, but you always make an excuse when someone scrolls over them, such as "oh yeah my little sister downloaded that." And don't just dump the entire artist's career onto your 'pod, but rather pick one single song, a guilty pleasure perhaps, that will make your face break out into a huge smile when the shuffle gods grant you this little slice of musical heaven.

These should be songs you think you're over, but you're totally not. For example:

• All Saints "Never ever"
• Hootie and the Blowfish "Let her cry"
• Ace of Base "The sign"
• TLC "Don't go chasin' waterfalls"

i.e. songs you shouldn't have and shouldn't enjoy, but you do...and you do.
