The perfect present for that over achiever in your life – the Rat Race Clock. $21.99.

‘This clock is unlike any other — It features a gray rat on an industrial treadmill. Once every minute, the mechanical rat begins run. [sic] The wheel is connected to an intricate series of 12 gears — So when the rat wheel goes around, it makes the clock’s minute hand move 1-minute forward…And here’s the most remarkable thing — the clock itself has no motor or clockwork of any kind. The timing mechanism is INSIDE THE RAT. They designed the furry rat to run just enough to move the clock exactly one minute.’
