Clocky Alarm Clock – Waking up has never been so annoying

Does it take a crane to lift your butt out of bed? If you’re like me, you’d rather stay in bed than wake up and fight traffic to make it to work on time. Maybe what we need is a little motivation?  I found this amusing and thought you might too.

Meet the Clocky alarm clock.  Clocky is an alarm clock that will try it’s best to wake you up.  On schedule (it is an alarm clock after all), it will sound off.  If you don’t react to it, it will then come alive and move around in an attempt to hide itself from you, sounding off all along the way.

This might appear as a novelty item to some.  But to many of us, it’s a great alternative to the standard alarm clock.  Especially if you’ve ever considered getting a deaf persons alarm clock with the vibrating bed and flashing lights.

Check out this video from Nanda, makers of the Clocky alarm clock to see it in action.

So, you can see how this might wake someone up.  Be it by annoying them perhaps, it would get you out of bed so long as you don’t keep a shot-gun next to your bed.

I know a few people that will be getting Clocky for Christmas.  One of them is for our kids, the dog and two cats.  I’m sure we’ll have as much fun watching them react to Clocky as they will trying to figure out what the heck Clocky is, and why it’s moving about the house without a human around.

And if you have a dog, I’d suspect that once the Clocky alarm clock goes off, you’ll have two things to quiet down.  Doesn’t that sound like fun?  It does to me, that’s why I’m buying one for my friends house.

Not only is this a great gift to give a close friend that has kids, pets, etc…this would make a great gift to give someone whom you really don’t want to give a gift to, but feel compelled to give one to anyway.  Come on, we all have those people in our lives that probably don’t deserve anything, but we’ll get them something anyway, right?  Right.

Clocky sells for $39 to $45 on the manufacturer’s site, but here are some deals I found that will help you save some serious money if you decide Clocky is for you, or for someone else.

Note: I displayed a few Amazon items, but to my surprise, they were upwards of $50 each!!!  So I removed them since they really aren’t a deal.  eBay has some really good deals though, check em out!
