This doesn't exactly fit the HTPC category, but I couldn't think of where else to ask it.
My mom wants a small audio system for Christmas, emphasis on the small. It's for her work, and she works in a cube - a big one, but still a cube - so nothing big because she'll never turn the volume up beyond a loud whisper.
Essentially what would be perfect would be the baby size Google Home Mini or something, but unfortunately where she works has highly restrictive internet - I don't think anything that needs an internet connection to play music or function in general is gonna work.
Additionally, my mom seemed fairly baffled by the idea of getting a bluetooth speaker and playing audio via her phone. She's older, just a couple years away from retirement, and technology beyond what she already knows is pretty foreign.
Basically what would be ideal is a small AM/FM radio that has some kind of built-in MP3 player. I've considered literally buying two devices - one a small MP3 player and two a small speaker - and velcroing them together for her, but I figured I would ask if anyone has any recommendations for a single product that would fit the bill.
