    The iPod Shuffle is a nice little unit for around that price if she doesn't mind not having a screen.

    Alternatively, if you could stretch your budget a bit, Apple have the 3rd Gen iPod Nanos in their refurb store starting at £59 for the 4GB version. Since Apple have just released the new iPod Nano model, I have a feeling these aren't actually refurbs, but rather their remaining stock of older models. Either way, they come with a full one year warranty, so it's a fantastic deal.
