Here’s a quirky gift that practically guarantees your kids are never late getting up for school again. Of course they’ll also never want to sleep in their own beds and will require intensive therapy for the rest of their adult lives. It’s a clock radio with a robot’s head perched on top. When the alarm goes off your Mr Clock Radio talks to you (accompanied by moving head and eyes). There are 50 different wake up shows (enough variety so you kids will never buy the explanation that “this thing isn’t real”). You can hook your MP3 player to Mr Clock Radio and set it to play your tunes when the alarm goes off. Obligatory YouTube video follows.
You really can’t understand how creepy useful this clock radio is without seeing it in action.
This is probably a better gift for the high schooler than a pre-schooler. The price is a little steep at $79 through Sky Mall.
