The dad who has the radio on in the kitchen before anyone else is up
Wooden-cased radio styled on a sixties set, with AM, FM and Bluetooth. Sold from Sydney, more than ten in stock, free delivery.
It works with a knob rather than an app, which is the entire point, and the Bluetooth means the family can put something on it without him having to learn anything. A radio is also the rare gift that gets switched on every single morning instead of being admired once.
One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
