There you are skipping happily through donut-land munching on the jelly baby inhabitants, when all of a sudden an air raid siren starts blasting out right next to your ear and the magic of donut-land is lost when your rudely awoken by your alarm clock.

Wouldn’t it have been far nicer if in donut-land, where everything is made of donuts may we add, the sun had started to rise in the morning and you’d been gently awoken by the natural light rather than them pesky air raid sirens? We knew you’d agree with us and that’s why we wanted to bring you, the iWake-Up Sunrise Clock.

Designed by people who just knew there had to be a better way of being woken up in the morning, 30 minutes prior to when you need to be awoken the iWake-Up Sunrise Clock will start to get brighter and brighter, meaning by the time your due to be up the light is at full brightness and you’ve been lulled out of donut-land and into waking, clever huh?

iWake-Up Sunrise Clock comes with a motion sensor snooze control which means rather than fumbling around for the snooze button, you simply wave your arms in front of it and it knows your not ready to get up just quite yet. You can set it to play the radio if you so wish or there is a soothing beeping sound to wake you up also.

We hate getting up in the mornings, but the iWake-Up Sunrise Clock did actually do it’s job on our road tests and make starting the day a slightly easier affair. A good job indeed.

The advert said ‘the helicopter you can fit in your pocket’ but we weren’t quite prepared for just how dinky the MX-1 really is. If Polly Pocket were a Columbian drug baron this would certainly be her vehicle of choice. She might use it to terrify the local villagers from her secret jungle hideout, but we just used it to terrify cats. And it really does fit in your pocket, controller and all.

The joy comes from trying to master the controls and bumping into walls, ceilings, floors and everything else between in the process. This RC helicopter will fly and it will make a sudden strafing attack on your face, family and furniture. With a little patience, however, it will eventually begin to behave its self. You’ll never be able to use it to fetch beer from the fridge but then that’s probably asking too much. Maybe next century.

There are a number of products like this on the market but what impressed us about the MX-1 is how the controller unit doubles not only as the charger but also as a nifty case for the helicopter. This means that when you get bored it can be neatly tucked into that bottom draw with all your other pointless but amusing novelty gadgets.

Great fun, if only in short bursts. The MX-1 carries enough power for around five minutes of continuous flight but is quick and easy to charge. If Poly Pocket had to outrun the authorities she might be forced to make a quick landing. The good news is that after only another five minutes of hiding out, recharging in her neat carry-case, she’ll be back in the air again.

Go Polly, go!

Complete with accessories, Morph comes along with a fake beard, a cricket bat and a wizard’s hat so you can truly recreate those special childhood moments.
