I bought a Bulova desk clock with picture frame on the opposite side, so that boss can look at time while employee admires boss's family. My boss loved it, and so did I. I was so relieved that it was bigger than I expected and looked like it was of great quality. I included the AA batteries (2) because it didn't come with them, but that was not a deal-breaker. You will be proud to give this as a gift. -Janice NY
