My wife does NOT want an iPod for Christmas!

. . . so she tells me tonight "I'd like a radio I can stick headphones into." She mainly wants to listen to her favorite talk shows on AM. She'll listen to music as well, but it will live in her office.

Alright, well, personally I think the Tivoli radio's hit the mark on looks, quality, etc. My wife is into retro looking european design, and loves color. She's in the fashion business. So I'm wondering if there are other recommendations on radio's that are simple to use, look sweet, and can get AM stations on the 10th floor of a concrete building downtown . . . at a price south of $150. I wouldn't mind thoughts on matching headphones (smallish) that a lady might like.

Here's radio's I've read about on AK that look like worthy contenders:

Tivoli Model One
Sangean WR-2
Sangean WR-11
Sonido Radio
