Crosley CR3001A Ranchero Dock, $199.95
Does your sweetheart go in for rockabilly, doo-wop, or actually listen to terrestrial radio? If he or she’s a bit of a throwback, this gift will win you décor style points. A desktop radio is an old-fashioned staple, and this one looks like it came back to the future. The glossy red veneer and mesh grille, paired with silver volume and radio tuning knobs (How fun is it to actually watch the analog AM/FM frequency meter moving towards your local oldies station? Very!) will set anyone’s retro heart aflutter. Minimalists will like the fact that the Ranchero is only a radio and an iPhone/iPod dock, without any other features—not even a clock (because in the 1950s, feature-creep hadn’t yet been invented). Other audio devices can be connected via 3.5mm audio jack, and there’s also a coaxial port.
