Bought this for my desk and it’s become a bit of a conversation piece. The sand runs through the narrow neck in a lovely steady stream, and I like that there’s no wooden frame, just clean glass and the blue sand. My seven-year-old son is now obsessed with timing his tooth brushing (well, he’d rather watch the sand than brush, but we’re getting there). Five minutes is bang on as far as I can tell with my phone.

got this for our granddaughter’s birthday and her little face lit up when she turned it over. She’s watched it about twenty times already. Lovely thing.

Looks smashing on the bookshelf, the red sand is a proper vibrant colour. Only reason for four stars is that it’s a touch lighter than I’d imagined, so it does slide about if you knock the shelf. Otherwise cracking little piece.

Got this for my grandson who loves his science gadgets. The timer’s smooth operation and sleek design caught his curiosity straight away. He spent ages watching the sand pour through, asking all sorts of questions about time. Made for a cracking gift and a great learning moment. Brilliant.
