If you are one of those people who need something without a snooze button to really wake up and get out of bed, this is the perfect thing for you! I admit, I got this because of the retro look, I had clocks like this when I was growing up, and this is a bit of a reminder of that - without the annoying ticking! This clock works with 1 AA battery, that is not included in the package, but, as usual, my rechargeable batteries come in handy. It has pretty big numbers on it, so it is easy to read from a distance. The alarm and the clock are pretty easy to set. You get one rotating knob for the time and one for the alarm - but, remember, the alarm goes off twice a day, so you will have to keep that in mind and turn it off, otherwise you get a really noisy alarm. The two bells are pretty loud when it is time for the alarm to go off. My cat got really scared because of that, and even now, he goes to attack the clock when he sees it. So, if you are a bit skittish, you might want to keep the al...

This is a great gift idea, either for somebody, or even for yourself! I got this one for me because I do like casual watches, and Roman numerals, also the rectangular design is one of my favorites. I honestly did not expect this to come with a battery and already working when I received it! It was also set to EST time, so I didn't even have to set it myself. I admit, that may be lazy, on my part, but it also shows that they actually do put the time in it to do the little things, and those small details are what hooks me on to something. The band is genuine leather, that is great, for people allergic to plastic, or who dislike metal. Leather tends to be a better match for most people, in my opinion. The watch itself is made of a zinc alloy, which I guess is good, I am not exactly an expert. What I do like is that this watch is waterproof, it has quartz, and it is very easy to tell the time - at least for me, who knows how to read Roman numerals. I prefer that to watches that don...

When you have a pet that likes actual schedules when being fed, this is a great addition of little gadgets to have in the house. My cat enjoys getting treats at a certain hour, specifically when he wakes up from his afternoon nap, and this just makes it a lot easier to make sure he gets that on time, even when there is nobody home to get to the treats jar and place them in his reach. This feeder comes with an ice pack, that needs to be placed in the freezer before use. It is pretty easy to place back. You have to put the food in, set a time and, when the timer runs out, the feeder cover pops up, allowing your pet to reach the food. The instructions say that this can be used with wet and dry food. I prefer to only put dry treats in, since I live in a tropical climate, and food can go bad easily. The timer works with an AA battery, it has up to 48 hours on it. Very important is to remember NOT to put the lock on, because that will prevent it from opening when the timer runs out. At f...

This is a nice set of 3 light bulbs that fit a lot of small appliances and fixtures that can take their size, which is basically anything that can go with the E17 fit. I got these because I needed to replace the bulb in my stove oven and also the one in my chest freezer, and they work great. As you can see from my pictures, these require AC 110V, and give 50 watt-daylight light (6000K). The great thing is that they are rated A+ in energy efficinecy, which is great if you want to save on your electric bill. The outside coating is a soft silicone, instead of glass. That is supposed to keep them safe from breaking and other damages, but I for sure won't be testing it, I am happy with these bulbs fitted where they have and hope they will last me a long time! I only needed two, so I am left with one extra in case I need it for anything else. I think they might fit some lamps too, but the lamps I have in the house don't with with E17. They are also dimmable, but I don't rea...

This is a beautiful pendant/necklace set, that comes in a really nice box and I think would make the perfect gift for someone who enjoys such jewelry. The main stone is Swarovski, so the price of this (right now it has a $54 off discount) is also pretty good. I got this mainly because of the ocean pendant, this reminds me so much of Moana, and I really loved that movie. It is like a shell, but blue and it has a nice starfish shape placed right on top. I think the other figures are supposed to be corals, and shiny "pearl" lookalikes. I think, for these additions, this would be great for someone who enjoys the ocean, or ocean stories (even the name of this is Ocean Secret).  I like that the inside of this box is made to resemble like suede, that looks pretty professional, although, for some reason, I thought the bottom part doubled as a small bag to put this in after wearing it. It is just a detachable bottom, however. It still looks really classy and nice.  The meta...
