I have several last-generation iPod Shuffles. Depending on the colour, I’ve loaded them up with various songs that match my mood (Red for Romantic, Blue for Sad, Black for Darkwave, Gold for Retro eighties/nineties, & cetera) and I’ve occasionally dropped one into my girlfriend’s bag as one used to do with mix-tapes, particularly when she was heading off on a long trip of some kind.
It’s such a sad shame that they killed them off (and insist on the music-as-a-service model rather than the prior music-as-a-product or the even earlier pre-iTunes Rip/Mix/Burn).
