I have to admit, Urban Outfitters is doing a great job featuring fun, geeky gadgets! The latest are two awesome Lego-themed products: the Lego Stereo CD Boombox ($58) and the Lego Stereo Alarm Clock ($38).
The alarm clock features radio or buzzer alarm, AM/FM radio, and volume and tuning wheels on top.

Alarm clocks have sure come a long way over the years. Instead of being forced to wake-up by the shrill sound of an old school alarm clock, we now have the choice to be serenaded by nature sounds or gradual light exposure.
The Homedics SoundSpa Fusion Alarm Clock($60) could easily belong with the rest of my sleek alarm clocks selections with its large LCD display and five interchangeable face plates.

Although it would be totally satisfying to shoot your alarm clock with a laser gun to get it to turn off (like the one I featured a while back), I don't think it will actually get me out of bed. What will? Angry, angry friends, relatives and co-workers.

Wakey wakey! There's nothing I despise more than being jerked awake from a deep sleep by a loud alarm. Who invented those anyway?

I can't say I'm very creative when it comes to the sound my alarm clock makes (now my cell phone, that's a different story), so the idea of being able to upload some of my favorite songs to help me wake up on the right side of the bed is something I could get used to.
This MP3 Alarm Clock ($60) lets you easily upload around 32 songs via its built in USB port. What I like about it is that it's not only nice to look at if it does have a permanent spot beside your bed, but it's also nice and tiny so you can easily take it with you while traveling — alarm clock and mini stereo system in one!

If you can't get enough Space Invader clothing, food, or household items, then add this alarm clock to the top of your must-have list. The Invader Alarm Clock ($40) combines one of your favorite things (Space Invaders), and one thing you hate the most (waking up in the a.m.) in a totally retro-geek package.
When your alarm goes off, the invaders come down from space to conquer your clock.

I already showed you a hot retro-modern Vers Internet radio alarm clock earlier this week (which I'm still kind of obsessing over), but the equally awesome iLuv INT170 satisfies my need for something futuristic and sleek.
The INT170 comes with all the same bells and whistles I liked in the Vers: Access to thousands of online radio stations via its WiFi connectivity, FM tuner, alarm clock, and an auxiliary jack so you can plug in your iPod or MP3 player. But the best part has to be the remote, so I don't actually have to get up to change the channel!

I'm not in the habit of calling my alarm clocks sexy (mostly because I've developed a hate-hate relationship with mine), but this is definitely the exception.
The Vers 1.5R ($200) is more than an alarm clock though; it's an iPod dock, an AM/FM tuner, it has a 3.5mm AUX-out port for other MP3 players, and it's all crammed neatly into a tiny package, complete with a 15-watt speaker.
Although I love what it does, I also love how it looks.

Fans of retro styling and modern electronics, this one's for you: The 99-cent Flip Clock app is an adorable vintage clock that, yes, flips like an actual old flip clock to tell you the time.
It's probably easier to just read the clock on your iPhone's home screen, but I quite like the idea of propping your phone up with Flip Clock on and just pretending it's your actual clock. Without the loud flipping sound.

Interactive alarm clocks are becoming more popular because — people need them!! Sometimes that loud, unnerving, alarm beep just doesn't cut it, so you need a gadget like the Clocky clock to force you to get out of bed to turn it off! Well, another animated clock called the Room Tech Beingz ($50) has just hit the market, and it seriously seems like the Tamagotchi of alarm clocks!
