    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
