The HoMedics iSoundSpa(tm) Clock Radio with iPod Docking Station is as handsome as it is functional.
I’m really not a fan of a lot of the docking stations - they’re kind of homely. But the one above is from Macy’s and is a modernistic hottie.
From the web site:
Wake up to the tunes you choose or just rock out loud any time you want. Customizable with interchangeable faceplates to match your iPod®, this stylish clock/radio and docking station plays music with amazing sound clarity as it charges your iPod and displays the time on its large digit LCD display. One-year limited warranty. Model SS-6500.
Features:
- AM/FM radio with digital tuning and volume control
- Line-in allows you to attach non-docking iPods, CD players and other MP3 players
- Universal inserts fits all docking iPods
- Dual alarm with snooze feature
- 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute nap feature and auto-off timer
The HoMedics iSoundSpa(tm) Clock Radio with iPod Docking Station - could take the bite out of any (okay just about any) work day.
Funny how much smoother life goes down when taken with music. That, Starbucks, and the occasional big, thick, ridiculously unforgiving and calorie laden Steak burger from Steak and Shake. With fries. Countdown to lunch has officially begun.

While it looks like something Dr. Smith, Robot, and Will would try to investigate, it’s actually a Wall Projection Clock
from the Discovery Channel Store.
From the Web Site:
Celebrate the intangible nature of time with this projection clock, which creates a large clock image on any wall surface.
- Projects a bright and elegant clock on wall or ceiling
- Accurate quartz clock
- Sweeping second hand provides accurate time measurement
- Roman clock face
- Compact enough to fit neatly on a shelf
- Dimming function alters the brightness of the clock face for different moods or times of day
The Wall Projection Clock will bring magic and drama to any room – from the bedroom to boardroom.
Click through either of the links or the image to see what the clock projection looks like. Entirely too cool.
*** To you whipper snappers who think the first sentence is some sort of Six degrees of Will Smith, it’s actually a list of three characters from a deliciously addictive and campy television series called Lost in Space. I never missed an episode. From my crib, that is…

The Most Portable DVD Player
- that’s what this particular portable dvd player bills itself as. Since it’s actually only one inch thick, I don’t plan to second-guess the claim.
From Shop.com:
This portable, handheld device allows you to watch DVDs and listen to CDs and easily fits into a carry-on bag because it is only 1″ thick. The unit has a 3 1/2″ TFT LCD screen that can redraw images faster than typical LCD monitors, resulting in a sharp, clear, and detailed resolution. Integrated anti-skip circuitry maintains uninterrupted viewing during turbulent flights or bumpy car rides, and it provides multiple viewing angles because it can be adjusted using its integrated stand. Compatible with all CDs and DVDs, this unit has two stereo speaker, and includes a headphone jack for private listening. With a remote control, a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack that lasts up to three hours on a full charge, AC adapter, DC car adapter, and a carrying case. Connects to a television via included AV cable. 6 1/4″ Diam. x 1″ D. (4 lbs.)
Sounds perfect for students, and I can see just about anyone taking it along for a long day at the office - what better way to make time fly than to have a little fun with it?!?! Beats working.
Speaking of movies…which I guess we kind of were….have you seen the trailer for The Dark Knight? I saw it when we went to see Will Smith’s monster hit, I Am Legend (it has broken all other records for a December opening). The Dark Knight trailer has leaked onto YouTube - and it looks fierce. This thing’s going to be a monster and, unless I miss my guess, it should catapult Heath Ledger into Johnny Depp’s ozone - or at least get him close enough to smell him. I can’t wait for The Depp’s next movie (Sweeney Todd) either. A singing demon butcher barber? I’m all about singing demon butcher barbers.
Grab The Most Portable DVD Player, and you’ll be able to carry Johnny, Will, and Heath with you wherever you go.

My hands are aching for one of these. Can you imagine how amazing warm lotion would feel on cold, overworked hands? Especially on a blistery, cold day like today - I can really get behind the idea.
The CONAIR Heated Lotion Dispenser is available online for under $15.00. It’d be a perfect gift for absolutely anyone on your list.
I’d want one in the kitchen, for certain. I’d make a bee line to it every time I came back from….from…well, from whatever it is I do. Oh yeah! Every time I came back from running around, wasting money, and supporting Starbucks. I’d also want one in the home office. My fingers sometimes feel the stress of 18 blogs and 18 web sites. A warm, lotion-y rub down amidst all the typing and tweaking would have all ten dancing across the keypad in no time.
From the web site:
Wonderful to give or get: a compact dispenser for bath, kitchen or office warms up to 16 ounces of hand or body lotion (sold separately) in just 2 minutes.
• Variable heat control.
• 1-hour auto shut-off.
• 6′ cord.
• Dishwasher-safe.
Makes a cozy winter massage! 6″ H x 3 1/2″ diam.
“Cozy winter massage” ? Sign me and my hands up for that one. And my knees. And my feet. And my back….

I’m pretty much fixated on the extremities today. I, I admit that. Now excuse me while I go stare at my husband’s hands.
