Space Invaders Alarm Clock

Available from: Firebox – Space Invaders Alarm Clock – Price: £24.95

Relive the 80′s with an all time classic – Space Invaders! The Space Invaders Alarm Clock brings the original game into the 21st Century, whilst keeping the delight of the officialy licensed original graphics and sound effects.

Although the Space Invaders Alarm Clock has a trendy new futuristic look, the backlit LCD displays the time and date in green, keeping faithful to the original display, with the invaders themselves retaining the classic pixellated look that everyone remembers. When it’s time to wake up, the clock lights up in a range of different colours, and unleashes a range of the classic sound effects.

For most people, waking up in the morning is never normally fun, but this clock will change all that! A great gift for games lovers and children of the 80′s!

These are sure to be a massive hit, so buy one while you can!

Requires 2AA Batteries (not included)

If you’re anything like me, then you hate getting up in the morning and manage to hit the alarm clocks snooze button in your sleep, meaning when you do wake up you’re in a mad rush to get to work!

Clocky is the answer! Clocky is the alarm clock thats impossible to ignore, as once the alarm goes off it scoots off to find a place to hide, whirring it’s way round your bedroom. In order to turn the alarm off, you have no choice but to get out of bed and chase it round the room, and although it sounds annoying, it’s actually incredibly effective at getting you up.

If you do get fed up with chasing it round, you can disable the wheels so that Clocky functions as a normal alarm clock, but that does kind of defeat the point a bit.  The Clocky also has an adustable snooze timer, although once you’ve got out of bed to chase after it once, it’s unlikely you’ll go back to sleep again.

Clocky is available in 2 colours, Almond and Aqua (that’s Cream & Blue for us commoners!).

So let Clocky wake you up in the mornings and you’ll never be late again!

Lets face it, being woken up by your alarm in the morning is never a pleasant experience! However, with our busy working lives it’s something that has to be done, so why not make it better by being woken up to your favourite song, direct from your Ipod with the Ipod Alarm Clock!

The clever Ipod Alarm Clock is styled in the same way as a traditional alarm clock, but updated for the digital age!  Simply plug your Ipod into the  docking station (that accepts all of the latest Ipod models), set your favourite album or song, and at the designated time you`ll be woken to the sound of your favourite tunes blasting from the Alarm Clock speakers (cunningly disguised as the old fashioned bells).

The Ipod Alarm Clock is mains powered, so you`ll have no recharging problems, and won’t end up with a flat battery in your Ipod. There is also a handy 9 minute snooze function, to give you a few extra minutes of precious sleep! The Ipod Docking Station has an adjustable depth dial, to fit the 20GB, 30GB, 40GB and 60GB Ipods as well as the IPod Video and Ipod Nanos.

Altogether the Ipod Alarm Clock is a much more pleasant way to get woken up in the morning, and with a different song or album each day, you’ll never get bored!
