My 7  year old is not a morning person.  Not by a long shot.  But I think this unique gift may save the day.  In fact I may just got order one as soon as I'm done yapping about it.

The boy doesn't hear his alarm clock.  It just doesnt register.  Or on the odd occasion that he does hear it he already knows, at age 7, how to hit the snooze button.  Today I found an Flying Alarm Clock.  How cute is that?  He loves planes so this will appeal to him on that level but it will also get his lazy butt out of bed to turn it off.  How many of us need something like this to really motivate us?

Here's a video of what it does:



How cool is that?  The only way you can get it to shut off  is to put the propeller back onto the base.  And that noise on the video is the actual sound this thing makes.  I can think of nothing more annoying.

These people are geniuses.  And masochists.  I can't decide whether to send Flying Alarm Clocks to friends and family or to my worst enemies!  It's only about $25 so maybe I'll send them to everyone *grin*  We'll see who is still speaking to me afterwards!

Seriously though, this website is a great resource for unusual gifts .  My sister would love the pink tool kit they offer.  And for her husband a beer glass that holds five cans of beer!  There's no end to the fun and interesting stuff they have there.  They also have a wide selection of informational dvd's--lots of "how to" stuff.  They take all major credit cards, you can order via an 800 number and talk to real live people when you do.  They ship worldwide and send out the order within 24 hours of recieving it.

It's only February, but I think I'll start my Christmas shopping at vat19 !
