Flying Alarm Clock

Waking up sucks. Getting out of bed is horrific. So why on earth would we sell a device that causes you to do both? Put simply it's because you're a bunch of lazy so-and-so's who need to get up and go to work in order to pay for all the lovely gizmos on our gloriously orangey site. So there!
Any minute now...
Okay, that's not the only reason we've decided to stock the infuriatingly effective Flying Alarm Clock (but it’s one of the best). No, dear readers, we're selling this devious device in order to prevent you from rotting away in bed when you could be skipping through butterfly-filled meadows. Or something like that. To paraphrase that well-known philosopher, erm, Jon Bon Jovi, there's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.
So what makes the Flying Alarm Clock so get-out-of-beddingly effective, then? Well, as its name suggests this digital clock actually flies. No, really. A propeller-driven module spins off the chic base unit every time the shrill alarm (think Star Trek red alert siren) goes off. So far, so annoying.
Replace the propeller to turn the alarm off.
The catch is, the noisy alarm won't turn off until you retrieve the propeller and replace it on the base. Which means you have to get out of bed and search for it. How ingeniously irritating is that? And you won't be able to walk across the room in zombified-autopilot mode like you do when you try the old put-the-alarm-clock-over-there ploy, because the pesky propeller can land anywhere. Aargh!
The Flying Alarm Clock is an ideal gift for anyone who's incapable of getting up in the morning – and, unless you’re one of those superhuman weirdos whose internal bodyclock wakes them up at 5am to go to the gym, that means you!
So wakey wakey and get ordering - we reckon the Flying Alarm Clock is all set to, er, fly off the shelves.

I sleep like a log but there's one thing I can't sleep through and it's this !! This noise of it drives me nuts and leaves me no choice but to get up and retrieve the flying section to turn it off. Best Alarm in the world !

This was a gift and I love it!
I used to be able to turn off 3 different alarms and go back to sleep without even thinking ...... with this you just can't. If you're sick of having to rush about in the mornings because you've got up late, get one of these now .... . You wont regret it!!

Asked for this to solve my late-waking problems, and got it! Whenever bored I always press the 'test button' on top of the dome to see it fly! Only that the propeller always comes off the ball. Nice!

Mine wont go higher than 2 cm :( still works so amazingly though! I fell out of bed the first time I tested it! Not used to little spinning things landing on my nose at 7:00am!

Fantastic thing. It never fails to wake me first thing in the morning with it's shrill tone, and is particularly useful for when I'm on the early shift. First alarm clock to actually work on me!

Funky little thing, I liked it.

Very cool item! can't wait to use properly! although the switch at top was broken so first time I used it it almost drove me mad... soon fixed that with a bit of solder tho! as for the postage, I was suprised at how fast it got here. Once again firebox has excelled themselves! Thanks!

If you thought chucking paper planes around the office was entertaining, wait till you see this bug-like chopper in action. The world's smallest fully-functional RC 'copter is a triumph of aeronautical design, and it's so incredibly manoeuvrable you'll be performing desktop fly-bys before you can say "Noel Edmonds".
