Leave it to the Celts to know what every household really needs — a clock that tells time in deliciously smooth brew. The Guinness 12 Pint Radial Clock is one of those home novelties that manages to be a bit stylish in its kitchiness with 12 full pint glasses radiating from a black circular eye offset by silver spokes and arms.
Your girlfriend may hate it, but just remind her that you kowtowed to the Hello Kitty bathroom theme and that the clock will match all the shiny pots and utensils all over the kitchen. Once mounted, you can start practicing your Irish accent and let all of your visitors know that it’s always time for a cold (or, if you’re doing it professional-like, room-warm) beer.
Available for $27 from Celtic Treasures, get on it!
Do it authentic: be a show-off by spouting some Irish — “Beidh gloine beorach agam” is everyday Irish for “I’ll have a glass of beer”. (Not sure how to pronounce that? go for “beh GLIN-e BYOH-ruhk uh-GUHM”)
