The Shortlife Clock: A Brilliantly Morbid Holiday Gift

The Shortlife clock is simple. It shows what percentage of your life you have lived and displays it. Simple ... but also devastating. Most of us probably wouldn't want to wake up to a depressing reminder of our own mortality.

It is, of course, not meant to depress but rather to remind you to use your limited days on this planet well. In short, it's a potentially life-changing gift to consider giving the person in your life who could use a nudge to spend more time being happy ... by reminding them they are going to die. Perfect for the morbid gift-giver in need of ideas. You know who you are.
