The Fred-o-Matic Kitchen Timer. You’ve got to love kitchen gadgets that break the mould, haven’t ya? And this really does. Not only does it time you, but it spins its blades and plays 70’s game show jingles. Face it, there’s nothing better to help you start your day than a singing kitchen timer. Know what we mean? $15.99.

 This timer stands 6.5″ tall, includes a handy clock display, and is packed in a colorful window box. The Perpetual Kid has recently developed an obsession for poached eggs just to play with his delightful new kitchen timer. A nice digital display that shows the time, and at the press of a button it changes into a 99-minute digital timer. The fun really begins when your time is up, as it whirls its blades and plays an assortment of seriously cornball “happy music.”
