docking stations, advice please?

[dannyboyle]

Thinking about buying husband a docking station for his iPhone 5s and ipad for Christmas. Would be a replacement for his very old traditional bedside alarm clock. He currently uses a multi socket under the bed with traditional chargers to charge them overnight.
What do I need to get? which makes, and do I need to spend a fortune?
What do I need to consider please? seems to be loads on the market that do all sorts of things?
We have young children so doesn't need to play music, although husband will watch films or tv off the ipad at night with headphones.

Many thanks for a confused no techy wife!
