Office Desktop Glass Alarm Clock with Solid Wood Base
Help your guests stay ahead of time with this modern glass alarm clock with a wood base. Whether it is for a birthday, corporate event, or graduation party, you cannot pass up an opportunity to have your guests smiling on the way home with a gift in hand.
This clock is simple, built to last long, and its alarm feature is something most people would find useful, which is more than can be said for most things handed out at the end of an evening. The glass body frame is translucent and is held by the wood base and a circular metallic frame surrounding the Roman numeral dials. Light passes through the glass rather than stopping at it, so the piece reads as an object rather than an appliance, and the Roman numerals give it a face that will look the same in twenty years as it does on the day it is unwrapped.
At 4.5" x 6.5" x 1.5" the Office Desktop Glass Alarm Clock with Solid Wood Base takes up about the footprint of a paperback. It sits comfortably on a bedside table, a bookshelf, a hotel-style guest room dresser or the corner of a home office desk where a phone alarm was never really doing the job.
The clock is perfectly suited as a prestigious gift to accompany plaques given to award recipients. Have a name or short message engraved on the wood base for an extra touch. That engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, and the solid wood base carries up to sixteen characters on each of two lines, which is enough for a full name and a year, a team and a milestone, or a line such as "With Gratitude" that the recipient reads first thing every morning.
It is the safe choice for the retirement dinner, the top-performer award, the graduation, the milestone birthday, the doctor or teacher who has been quietly excellent for a decade, and the housewarming where you want to give something that will still be in the room years later.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give someone a better reason to get up.

Which one should I choose
Recognition gifts usually come down to something to look at, something to use, or both at once.
| Office Desktop Glass Alarm Clock with Solid Wood Base | Choose it when the gift should be used every day and still look like an award: glass, solid wood, Roman numerals and an engraved base. |
|---|---|
| An engraved plaque | Choose a plaque for the wall; this clock is perfectly suited to accompany plaques rather than replace them. |
| A plain, unengraved desk clock | Choose it for a stationery cupboard; with no name on the base it marks nothing and belongs to nobody. |
For a milestone that deserves more than a certificate, the Office Desktop Glass Alarm Clock with Solid Wood Base is the pick, on its own or beside the plaque.
