elfing it

Nothing like a flying propeller in mid-air above your head to get you jumping out of bed... The propeller will fly as high as nine feet. Should get them leaping out of bed. As for me? This might just motivate me to duck under the covers and definitely will not motivate me to get out of bed. The Flying Alarm Clock is $40.

WhatEver...$26

_{(Actually, I think this clock is really funny.)}

This is the gift they will love and despise, each and every morning. Clocky is a little alarm bot clock that runs away from you when you try to hit the snooze button. I know a few people who qualify for this gift, don't you? $45-$50 at Amazon.

This is such a great gift. I didn't give it, but received one. Someone bought it for me. I chase it every morning. It is the first clock that has ever been able to get me out of bed!

Well, I suppose this one lets you read time how you want to read time. A relatively new introduction, this Numbers Blocks Clock has been a big hit with designers. Fun, though I think not too functional when displayed like this. $85

 

Oh yeah, this is my favorite of all, a real beauty... The clock that will send a powerful 12-volt shock to your bed. I am not kidding folks. You can set it up to shock you right out of your sweet dreams. It doesn't stop there. It also comes with extra loud alarms and pulsating flashing alert lights. There's a reason why they call it the "Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock."

I'm not sure if this is an alarm clock or a torture device. But I like it! $34

After 20 years of living in San Francisco, I don't find this clock so unusual. Do you think it's because of the fog-like glass? ON sale for $128 (Orig $198)

First the "Lost In Time Clock" and now this... I think I'll nickname this "Huh? What time is it? Clock" I like being confused, therefore, I like this clock. Besides, it's painted orange over metal base. Slick. $98 at UnicaHome.

This is how I see the world when I wake up in the morning. Not so sure I'm Lost In Time or just near-sighted. $38

A gift for those who often lose track of time staring into space. Available for $22 at Amazon (Target) or $40 at UncommonGoods.
