POLICE SIREN ALARM CLOCK RRP: $24.95 plus shipping. If you're a hardened snoozer who needs a more action-packed wake-up call then this siren alarm clock is the answer. It gives you a verbal warning and a count of three to turn it off, failure to do so results in a deluge of sirens and lights that will wake even the sleepiest of heads. Check it out at shopsafe.co.nz

LE VERTIGO LAPTOP BAG
RRP: $129.95. Combining style and practicality, the Le Vertigo laptop bag is a sweet accessory for those on the go. More than just good looking, it has a padded computer sleeve on the inside and a waterproof nylon layer outside. It can handle notebooks up to 15.4-inches and has accessory compartments and document pockets to help easily organise all your additional stuff. For info see mobchic.co.nz
MVH-8250BT MEDIA CENTRE RECEIVER RRP: $799. Pioneer's latest car audio offering is set to make plenty of noise. You can store your music in more ways than ever these days and media centre receivers are an ideal way to load up and play. Offering extensive connectivity, it can connect to an iPod, iPhone, USB device, MP3 player and SD card, and read a wide array of file formats. It packs a sleek three-inch TFT screen, built-in AUX input, five-band graphic equaliser, a Bluetooth module for hands-free calling and a raft of other features. Most importantly, you're still able to tune into Classic Hits. Check out pioneernz.co.nz
LASER STAR PROJECTOR RRP: $275. Bring the majesty of the universe to your room with this funky projector. This gadget uses lasers to create vivid starfields, animated clouds and shooting stars. It simulates the wondrous depth of the galaxy with two built in precision lenses. Great for young ones, astronomy enthusiasts and those wanting to give late-night Star Trek screenings that extra pop. Available from JayCar electronics.

AIRCURVE ACOUSTIC AMPLIFIER FOR IPHONE
By Griffen Technology RRP: $35. More than a stylish stand for your iPhone, the AirCurve is an innovative piece of engineering that cranks up the volume. With no additional power required, the coiled waveguide "horn" collects the sound from the iPhone's speakers and amplifies it by about 10 decibels. A great way to juice up your iPhone's audio and early-morning wake-up call power. It also has a sweet see-through polycarbonate body that lets you see the mathematically engineered curves work their magic. Available from ascent.co.nz
