Stuff we Love:
The Flying Alarm Clock is an idea for those people
who literally need to be pushed out of bed in the mornings. At the
sound of the alarm the spinning piece takes off into the
air and flies around the room making a high pitch
annoying noise, until you put it back
on the base. If you hit snooze you can repeat the
whole process again. It is available from BoysStuff.co.uk
for about
$35 or £9.95
