Know someone who can never get anywhere on time? With the chronically tardy in mind, Gizmodo rounded up a list of gifts for dawdlers, and CNET is reprinting it with permission. Wondering what to get the late loved one in your life? Read on.
Step one to showing up on time is getting up on time, and there's simply no way to ignore the siren song Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock from Sonic Alert. The 113dB blast from this $43 gizmo is almost as loud as a jet plane, and it shakes the entire bed, traumatically jolting even the utterly comatose to life. It's also simply a horrible way to wake up.
Late people don't have time to make coffee or brush their teeth. Jolt's spearmint gum ($3-$10) takes care of caffeine and fresh breath in seconds. Sorta.
Why a Droid? Two reasons: Using Google Navigation on Android 2.0, nobody can claim they got lost, and on Google Latitude, everybody knows exactly where you are.
Casio's $110 G-Shock watches withstand serious abuse and drowning, so excuses like, "Oh, I broke my watch" won't exactly fly. And uh, neon green's a real hard color to ignore.
This is our fantasy gift, and we're talking about the real thing, not the $50 knock-off on Amazon (pictured). Turn back time, and arrive everywhere right when you're supposed to. Oh, who am I kidding? I'd still be late.
