Cube Click Clock £22.95
From the product description:
“We all know the feeling, the alarm clock bleeps and all you want to do is stay in bed. So you hit the snooze button and kip for another 10 minutes…and then 15 more…and the 15 more after that! Before you know it, you’re 20 minutes late and don’t have time for your morning shower. Yuk!
Make today the day you stop hitting that snooze button with this fantastic Cube Click Clock! Your cube shaped clock has a walnut wood look (so hitting it is more likely to wake you up in the morning than anything else!) and the digital display even features temperature details so you can spend less time guessing what the weather is like!
Your clock comes on at the click of your fingers and switches off automatically when the room in quiet – clever and energy saving!”

Defusable Alarm Clock Kit
From the product description…
“The first thing that comes to people’s minds when they see this contraption is : Oh my God! There is a bomb in here! Well, yes, in a way there is, depends upon what meaning you attach to the word “detonate”. This is a defusable alarm clock. It functions just like any other alarm clock, complete with a snooze option. But, you can also run a countdown on it, which might scare some people, until you defuse the bomb by cutting the right wire from the four that are there on top of this device. Out of the fo ur, two are duds, which means nothing happens, one defuses and one “detonates”. The big red button on the counter is the one to go for, both for setting the alarm and for starting the dreaded countdown. You can really scare people with this. Try it as a gag at home, among family and friends; if they panic, disabuse them. This is not a live and ticking bomb, it’s just make believe. We provide you with a full set of instructions on how to go about setting the alarm, operating the snooze option and starting the “countdown”. Please don’t play any tricks with people who have a heart condition or in your local supermarket where terrorist threats have a certain amount of credibility. Use it for some harmless fun, that’s all!.
£42.99 from The Gift Oasis.
