George Frederick Handel must be rejoicing in heaven at this very moment to know that his best-loved chorus from The Messiah has been put to such excellent use. Because not only does the Hallelujah Clock burst into a rousing (microchip) rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus every hour, but the clock's six petals, normally hidden behind the tasteful portrait of Jesus, spring into view, each showing an angel in rather glitzy pose.

And there's more. There's volume control, a light sensor to mute that chorus during the night, and "memorable events from His life" around the clock's dial. The perfect present for a non-believing friend. Only $69.98 (batteries not included).
