If you have someone in your life who is a lover of all things pink and has almost anything you can get in pink (even hot pink office supplies), then a pink alarm clock is due to make an excellent gift for that person.
One of the great things about pink alarm clocks is that, in addition to being quite stylish and coming in a number of different shades (from bright bubblegum to delicate pastel, and everywhere in between), they also come in a lot of different configurations.
Of course, one function they all have in common is that they tell the time and have an alarm feature, but beyond that, there are some excellent other functions available in today’s pink alarm clock choices. Want to know more? Here are three great pink alarm clock variations.
- Pink alarm clock with radio. The clock radio is probably the most popular expansion on the standard alarm clock. This serves multiple purposes. You can use it to tell time, to set a standard beeping alarm, or to listen to the radio. You can also choose for your pink alarm clock to wake you up not with an abrasive beeping buzzer, but by playing the radio station of your choice, on the volume of your choosing.
- Pink alarm clock with CD player. This takes the musical enjoyment of the pink clock radio and makes it more personal. In addition to doubling as a regular CD player with built in speakers, the pink alarm clock with CD player also lets you wake to not just the CD, but the specific track of your choosing! Whatever music gets you up and rocking first thing in the morning is what you should choose; what better way to get up on the right side of the bed? plus, when the alarm clock itself is a fun shade of pink, what’s not to be happy about?
- Pink alarm clock with iPod/MP3 dock. Here is where music gets the most personal at all. Pink alarm clocks with iPod/MP3 functionality let you plug in your personal music player. You can wake to any of the hundreds of songs you have stored on the player, and it also doubles as a speaker for these small and often speaker-less devices. Arguably the best of all worlds, a pink alarm clock with MP3 capability is great in the morning, and all day long.
If you are in the market for a pink alarm clock, the good news is that there are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of different styles and models to choose from. The bad news (or at least it could seem bad if you are indecisive or like a lot of different things) is that choosing between so many different pink alarm clocks may not be the easiest choice. After all, you can do a lot of things with a pink alarm clock, and they are all interesting and useful to different people.
Here are a few of the top pink alarm clock styles and functions. These should help you get a good idea of some of your choices, and make it easier to narrow down the field when it comes to choosing the perfect pink alarm clock that’s right for you (or, if you’re shopping for gifts, the perfect alarm clock for your friend or loved one).
- Retro-styled pink alarm clock. Several models of retro-styled pink alarm clocks are available. Of course, depending on which era they are replicating, the pink itself may not be historically accurate. But the knobs, layout, speaker style, and overall design aesthetic make a fun, playful, and interesting addition to any nightstand, worktable or bathroom counter.
- Multi-function pink alarm clock. If you want a pink alarm clock that plays radio, CDs, or even docks and amplifies an iPod, you can find them. You can also find pink alarm clocks that feature extra loud alarms, can go in the shower, or even large wall clocks that project the time onto the wall or ceiling, you can find these. If you want your pink alarm clock to be more than a clock, you’ll have no trouble finding just about every function imaginable.
- Pink travel alarm clock. Quite the opposite of the multi-function alarm clock, a travel alarm clock is designed to be as simple as possible, so it can be as small as possible. Pink travel alarm clocks are battery operated, come in a range of shades, and many feature a back-glow (at the light touch of a button) so you can see what time it is quickly in the middle of the night while still conserving battery life.
From complex to simple, from modern to retro, pink alarm clocks are as diverse as the people who like them. The fun part is deciding what works best for you. Happy shopping!
