With few exceptions, I don’t see the appeal of retro things, so I’m not exactly qualified to judge this clock or its companions.

The 60s Refrigerator Alarm Clock Radio is either very cute or very tacky, but either way it would fit right in among other 60s memorabilia. This digital clock disguised as a retro fridge conceals another surprise: the door opens and reveals radio adjust buttons.

The design is not brilliant, the display has nothing special going for it and the radio probably doesn’t offer crystal clear sound, but it could make a nice addition to a kitchen. It’s not like you invite guests in there, and you can barely hear the radio over the pouring water anyway.

If you don’t like the fridge, you can choose from four more models: blender, iron, stove and washer.

This is a “how NOT to” guide. Or perhaps a “how to dump someone in the nastiest way possible” guide. Choose one, depending on what you plan for this Valentine’s Day. The following products are the stupidest presents for Valentine’s Day we could find.

9. Beer Mug of Blooms. The only thing this says is “Honey, I went out to buy you the most beautiful bouquet for this special day, but I got lost and ended up in the pub.” Not the message you want to send on Valentine’s.

8. Love Stinks Soap Set. I have to admit it’s a funny idea (love stinks, let’s wash it off with a nice soap), but the whole point of this holiday is that love is great. Save this for when you want to dump him/her.

7. Talking Rose. Who invents these things? A plastic rose with a microphone? A fake flower and a recording can never replace a real one and a passionate “I love you”. Save your money for better things.

6. USB Pig Radio. Adorable, sure. But guys, pink is not always a sign that the product is made for Valentine’s. She’ll only think you’re saying she’s fat like a pig.

5. Valentine Heart Toilet Paper. Only for girls who think Valentine’s is overrated. Put this in the bathroom on your girlfriend’s favourite day and prepare to get the silent treatment.

4. Halitosis Detector (bad breath, that is). “My love, your breath stinks.” No. Never. Do not even think about it.

3. “Dumped” Despair Inc. Bitersweets. If you’re feeling real mean, wrap the box in a nice paper and watched her stunned face as she reads the messages on the seemingly-harmless candy hearts.

2. Diet Decision Maker magnet. The USB pig might have suggested she’s fat, this one is outright saying it. Guaranteed to get you dumped.

1. And, last but definitely not least… Breast Suspenders. I hope I don’t have to spell this out for you. NO.

What do people do in the shower? Wash, you say?

Wrong. Well, at least partly. The producers of the Shower Radio say that men can now wash, shave and listen to music in the same place. The radio is waterproof and it features a mirror and an alarm clock. This makes it quite practical for traveling, but I can’t help wondering: do you really need music in the shower? A mirror takes so little place and all cell phones have built-in alarms, so why would you buy a new gadget? Besides, wouldn’t all the water on the mirror make it difficult to see?

Oh well, some might appreciate it. It a novel idea at least.
