Alarm Clocks

 

I have blogged about alarm clocks on a previous occasion which is strange for someone who rarely needs one. I have an internal clock that warns me minutes before an alarm goes off and also helps me to time cooking . Some people have it, some don’t. For those who don’t here is another waking up idea...

Classic, modern style. Smooth, refined form. Oh, and possibly the most obnoxious feature set possible in an alarm clock (aside from a clock that actually flees away from you): You must complete a jigsaw puzzle to deactivate the alarm. No cord to cut, since it's battery operated, and "recommended for ages 3 or over"—really, anyone old enough to wield a hammer.

Alarm Clocks

I try to do no more than two blog entries a day on the basis that otherwise my reader(s) will lose interest! Today, however, I could not resist a third when i came across this -



Do you ever have diffiulty waking one of the family? Well here is the answer. The Sonic Alarm will wake pretty well anything up. Simply pull the pin, yell an emphatic “fire in the hole” and lob the grenade into the sleeper’s room. After ten seconds a very annoying and piercingly loud noise (there are three volume settings) will blast out from the alarm. That’s not all however, what makes this especially great is that to stop the alarm the sleeper has to find you so you can put the pin back in. Price around £10. Buy it here.
