Hatch Restore 3 ($170)

"Beep beep beep" is not our idea of a good wake-up call. This alarm clock — available in cream, beige, and brown — is not that: it emits gentle sounds and a soft, sunrise-mimicking light that turns mornings into a quiet, happy moment instead of a shock. Choose the soft chimes sound option if you want to wake up ready to take on the day, or ocean waves if you want to feel like you're waking up to a sunrise on a beach vacation with nothing on the agenda. Or both. Once you experience a calm start like this, you'll wonder how you ever survived mornings any other way.

Editor Quote: "This is definitely the chicest, coolest alarm clock I own — and I love the color." — Taylor Andrews, senior balance editor
