If you're, by any chance, looking for a gift to make a difference, then you should pay particular attention to the Aerial Clock Radio from Spirit of Saint Louis. You've simply got to love this product, as it brings back to life the past ages at the beginning of the 20th century and their unique, warm, and homely design that will delight both you and your grandfather. The Aerial Clock Radio has gotten its name from its source of inspiration, and the looks are those you'd expect to find in the cockpit of a plane back in the world wars.

The Spirit of Saint Louis Aerial Clock Radio is also a great item for the steampunk fans, as it boasts the classic looks of any true piece of gadgetry of this kind. Of course, you'll have a rather hard time trying to integrate this clock in a modern décor.

Yet, if you're a bit on the classic side as far as your setting at home or office are concerned, this spectacular contraption will definitely pay off every dime. The whole device is built from steel and plastic, featuring a wood-like accent on the top, and keeps true to the way objects in that period were designed.

You also get a backlit round dial, which will help you accurately tune in to your favorite radio stations in either FM or AM wavebands. No station presets are available, as well as no MP3 input or iPod dock. The main idea behind the Spirit of Saint Louis Aerial Clock Radio originates in times when radio itself was one of the greatest inventions, and its creators did a great job skipping the high-tech features.

The only digital-world item is represented by the clock displays. You get each number in its own round window, telling you the time with pale yellow digits looking pretty antique themselves. Unfortunately, no detailed specs on the audio side (power rating, frequency range, or the like) are available. Nevertheless, the price under $75 makes the Spirit of Saint Louis Aerial Clock Radio an instant “I want one of these” items.
