We need a new bedside alarm clock. The one we have is a $3.99 special that is aesthetics horrible and makes me grumpy whenever look at it. There are plenty of swell ones out there, but finding an alarm function and crazy good style at an affordable price is elusive. Here's where I am at so far. This one above from ll bean—
This cost prohibitive, although stellar, George Nelson clock from Velocity
Another from ll bean. This one glows as the sun comes up. Could be cool, could be annoying. And I can't tell if it looks too cheap-y.
I have seen this one at UO in person, it's much smaller than it seems and is great is such a horrible way—but no alarm function.
The one I really want is vintage and I am waiting for the auction to end—I will report back.
We usually don't need an alarm (we have 3 human-shaped ones which have no snooze feature) but sometimes we do. We had some friends in college who had an alarm clock that had a sound activated snooze feature. So, when you want to hit snooze, you had to yell. Like, yell something, probably not a word, because it was first thing in the morning. The sounds coming from that bed must have been unholy. I thought this was the funniest thing ever and still do.
