A water-resistant shower-room clock offers an effective solution for keeping on track of the time in the mornings.

A versatile piece of equipment, a waterproof unit consists of either a simple, compact-sized analog clock, with Quartz movement to a more stylish, and fully featured clock, with CD player, AM/FM radio, weather band reception, and fog-free mirror (ideal for shaving, removing make-up, or similar facial treatments).

A shower-room clock, designed with a unique waterproofed sealing, ensures an adequate level of splash-proof protection is given – although these clocks are not built to be completely submerged.

A shower clock presents a choice of mounting options, with the super-easy to install suction cups a common choice – these adhere to most flat surfaces in a bathroom, such as glass, tiles, mirrors or a shower screen. A sufficiently sized rope is ideal to hang over a towel stand, showerhead or curtain rail, while double-face tape offers a further option.

A stylish shower time piece comes constructed in such materials as molded ABS thermo-plastic in silvertone, white and bright blue to those with a sleek Titanium finish – with such a choice on offer, it is often a simple case of shopping for those that complement the existing décor in a shower-room or bathroom.

A power source for a waterproof clock is via batteries to offer complete ease in locating, with some of the larger and fully featured CD, clock, and radio combinations offering up to 15-hours of continuous play, or if used in another room in a home, such as a bedroom, a 9-volt DC adapter is relied on.

A programmable timer or built-in countdown offers a clever feature seen on some of these clocks, which adds an ability to emit an alert after a certain period has passed – this offers the benefit of keeping track of time, reducing the daily water usage, and that all results in a saving in future gas or electricity bills.

All in all, a shower clock with its water-repellent design is great in a bathroom, sauna-room, shower cubicle, spa, or pool area, while those outfitted with a digital AM-FM radio reception are ideal to listen to the mornings news, previous nights sports results, traffic up-dates or favorite tunes.

An insulated travel mug, with leak-proof design, is ideal for enjoying a hot drink of coffee or tea on a picnic, at home, on a car journey, or for a commute to or from the office.

A 12 to 18-oz travel thermos, with its unbreakable and lightweight design, is equipped to keep liquids such as chocolate, soup, tea or coffee hot for one to four-hours, or lemonade, iced tea or a sports drink cold for much longer – often up to twelve hours.

A thermos travel mug comes in a choice of materials, with 18/8 stainless steel and impact-resistant plastic combinations popular designs. An insulated mug, with its ability to retain flavor and freshness, measures in the region of 7.5 – 8-5-inches in height, and costs up to $39.95.

Oxo Good Grips, Trudeau, Contigo, Aladdin, and Thermos Nissan all produce a selection of travel mugs, with double-wall insulation and leak-proof lids, meaning it is possible to pick up a steaming mug of tea of coffee on the go without having to concern yourself with accidents or spills.

Common features seen with a top-quality thermos mug include – a soft, comfortable rubber grip handle, a sweat-proof design to avoid water-rings, a convenient sized base to fit most car drink-holders or an ability to attach to a belt, backpack or bag via a metal loop or carabineer, and a double-walled vacuum for the ideal temperature retention.

In addition to the thermos flasks where a steaming-hot or chilled liquid is poured in, another choice is seen with the foam-insulated travel mugs, which come designed to hold a complete soda-can to retain its chilled state, and simple sip-hole exists for ease in drinking.

Whether it is to keep a coffee, tea, chocolate or similar such liquid piping-hot, a travel thermos offers a superior leak-proof container to use at all times when on the move.
