Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A cheeky talking alarm clock that interacts with you.
Why we love it:
Some people are morning people; they bounce out of bed at the first gentle chime of their alarm clock, ready to face the day. We hate and fear those people. We don't know what they're doing so early in the morning, but it can't possibly be worth it. We would rather stay in bed, burrowing under the covers for 15 extra minutes of sleep, and woe betide the person, or thing, which awakes us. We anti-morning people don't like to take out our ire at the early hour on our friends and loved ones, so if you know a sleep deprived individual you might do well to give them Nobby, the sarcastic alien alarmclock. Nobby, after all, has no feelings, and won't be hurt by their early morning grumpiness. He's also interactive. Ask him the time, and he'll tell you, ask him how you look and he'll say "unstoppable" or "groovy baby." Even better than that, when he starts pestering you to get up, you can wring his neck to shut him up!
