The Toast Clock Epitomizes All Day Breakfast

— March 7, 2011 — Lifestyle

Measuring 26cm in height, the tummy-warming wall clock makes a more substantial statement, ensuring that such a frequently overlooked food item will not go unappreciated.

Sold through Far Fetched Gifts, this consumable Toast Clock chronograph would hang fittingly in the kitchen, powered by a simple AA battery.
