Hello all, I am thinking about getting my girlfriend a new alarm clock for christmas as one of her presents. Right now, she uses her cell phone as her alarm clock. She also has a small, oval shaped, battery powered vibrating alarm but she doesnt use it because she says it doesn't always work properly. She does not have a night stand and she doesn't have room for one next to her bed. My question is, should I get her a portable type alarm like the shake awake or is the plug in the wall type alarm with a bed shaker alot better? What do ya'll think? Any good ones that you could recomend? What do you think of the shake awake? Thanks for your help.
