Unless you’re one of those magic people who wakes up to the sound of chirping birds and welcomes the day with a big smiling stretch in front of the window… you need an alarm clock. And it’s gonna sit out…all the time. So make it cute!

Note: I did not choose any of these guys based on their ring sounds (except for #9- the Zen clock which is just rad). I figure they’re all annoying to varying degrees, so I selected totally based on looks. Does this make me a bad person?…
