Apparently, the need to glance at the wall and check the time pops up during pooping more often than you might think since wall clocks for the bathroom are something of a rage in the world of home decor these days. Practical these bathroom wall clocks may be, but they can also more than qualify as unique gift ideas.

If you can get a clock up on your bathroom wall that also doesn’t fog up, just consider that the cherry on top of the sundae.
