Paw-shaped radio, a toy for children all ages, up to 99.

Now, that's one radio I really like and even if it looks like it has been designed especially for kids, I'd say it has been also made for the kid inside any grown-up. Basically, if you see it from a distance in a store's window you'll think it's a paw-shaped pillow but as you draw nearer, you'll actually learn we're talking a pretty nice and soft FM radio.

It really
looks cartoon-ish and the mild colors are quite a help at that; nevertheless, this Plush Radio Cushion rocks really hard as it will make the perfect gift for absolutely anyone, no matter if we're talking your cousin who's working as a professional sound engineer at a recording studio or his 4-year-old daughter. This pillow contains a digital radio scanner and the speaker, so it is ready to work the moment you take it out of the package. It comes with included batteries and despite my expectations, it does not sport an external current source input.

The controls are child-easy to understand and operate; the lush Radio Cushion even has an operation status LED indicator and volume up/down buttons so you can turn your fav station down to a sleeping level. This radio pillow only runs in FM band but provided you already own a very serious radio, it really needs nothing else. Just hug it as you go to sleep and try not to press the Volume Up key as you're dead asleep while listening to some hardcore or death metal station...or things will definitely go insanely funny as you wake up and scream, throwing away the noisy pillow.

This cute gift sells for under $15, weighs a pound and sports 12"x10"x4" dimensions. Does tuning two units on the same radio station and strapping them to your head make a stereo pillow-headphone?
