Gift Guide: NPR Radio

Livio NPR Radio (Homebody, Under $250)

Okay, so it's not just for listening to NPR, but for those who can't imagine anything better than a cup of lemon-ginger tea and an episode of 'Fresh Air with Terry Gross,' this is about as good as it gets. This $199 Web radio connects to your home Internet via either Ethernet or Wi-Fi to play any of Livio's index of over 16,000 other worldwide webcasts, and is pre-programmed to play back all local NPR stations, making it a no-brainer for Mom or any other NPR-loving newbie. Users can even search for a specific program, station, segment, or guest by entering search terms with the device's control dial. Audio I/O lets you play your MP3 player through its speaker, or, you can connect the device itself to a larger sound system. Oh, and it's nice-looking addition to any home, to boot.
