Free Ice Age 3 Watch, Clock and Tin @ SeeFilmFirst (Pay P&P)

Free Ice Age 3 Watch, Clock and Tin @ SeeFilmFirst (Pay P&P)A super little deal for young Ice Age fans!

All of the main Ice Age characters are endearing aren't they, but I've not met any one (yet) who doesn't have a real soft spot for Scrat the Sabre-Toothed Squirrel Rat and his frustrating quest for that acorn.

This deal is a smashing one I think - for just the cost of the postage, which is just £3.99, you get an Ice Age 3 watch with a strap that's fully printed with all your favourite characters and a bedside alarm clock, which is made of metal (not a cheap plastic version).

They come in a metal tin that's got a handle and window in the lid so you can see what's inside. This can be used for all sorts of things once you've taken the watch and clock out - you could store Top Trump cards in it, little matchbox cars or even use it as a lunch box tin for sandwiches!

All you have to do to secure your Ice Age watch, clock and tin set is fill in your details, pay the P&P and it'll be winging it's way to you pronto.

In The Night Garden Alarm Clock £2.09 @ M&M Direct

In The Night Garden Alarm Clock £2.09 @ M&M Direct*Sing along now everyone* YES! My name is Iggle Piiiiigle, Iggle, Iggle, Wiggle, Iggle Piiiigle!

It amuses me greatly that there are In the Night Garden alarm clocks. Each episode begins with a little child going to sleep and ends with everyone going to bed along with the dulcit tones of Derek Jacobi telling us that, "Someone's not in bed...Iggle Piggle's not in bed!"

The Night Garden is a place that 'lives' somewhere in between being awake and asleep and after all the adventures are done everyone goes to sleep, "Goodnight Maka Paka; goodnight Tombliboos; goodnight Upsey Daisy." None of them have an alarm clock!

But maybe it's just my strange sense of humour that finds this funny and is of no consequence really because all young kiddies I know enjoy having clocks in their bedrooms. I think it has something to do with feeling 'grown up' because the desire for a clock of their own seems to emerge before they can even tell the time.

In The Night Garden Alarm Clock £2.09 @ M&M DirectThe clock has an hour, minute and second hand (handy really, for a clock!), an alarm function and requires 1 AA battery which isn't included.  It's made of plastic and features Iggle Piggle on the face and is bound to be a big hit with your little ITNG fan.

M&M Direct have reduced their stock of In The Night Garden alarm clocks from £12.99 to £2.09 and even with the £3.99 delivery cost, is still a nice little bargain.

Philips HF3463 Wake Up Light With Radio Alarm

Ok, now I thought twice about posting this. Yes, it's technically an alarm clock and yes, I do realise that the last thing that the average parent of a baby / young child needs is an alarm clock but oooh, this is a clever one. Bear with me.

Philips HF3463 Wake Up Light With Radio AlarmOk, so imagine the voice of the lady from the Marks and Spencers advert now: This no ordinary radio alarm clock. This is a radio alarm clock that wakes you up with natural light, giving you happy hormone surges, and a choice between birdsong or what the Amazon website calls a 'friendly beep'.

So instead of being woken at 6-something-am by loud, insistent shouts of 'IS IT MORNING YET?' that get ever louder until not even three pillows and a duvet pulled over your head can drown them up, you can wake up in a Zen-like state.

It has been clinically proven that you need up to 250 Lux to affect energy hormones in such a way that you wake up full of energy. The wake-up light wakes you up in a natural way, by light that gradually brightens to emulate natural sunrise, positively affecting energy hormones to wake you more naturally and with as much energy as on a sunny morning. It's also a digital FM radio so you can also wake up to your favourite music or news station every day.

How does it work?

  • Set your wake-up time and your preferred light intensity and volume setting before you go to sleep.
  • From half an hour before your set wake-up time, light gradually increases to the intensity you selected (250 Lux advised).
  • The light brightens at an optimum rate, following a special curve proven to be most effective.
  • The light falls on your eyes, sending your brain a message to increase the production of cortisol, the energy hormone.
  • This means that at the set alarm time your sleep and energy hormones are better balanced, and Philips HF3463 Wake Up Light With Radio Alarmyou'll feel more energetic right from the start of the day. At your set wake-up the sound will come on very quietly, and will also increase gradually until it reaches the required volume.

Usually £100, this is now reduced to £50 at Amazon, with free delivery and a two year warranty.
