Bought this for my son, who’s nine and obsessed with how things work. He spent a good twenty minutes just watching the sand funnel through that tiny neck, then asked why it never seems to clog. We ended up timing his homework with it and he actually stuck to it, which is a minor miracle in our house. The wooden frame feels properly solid too.
Margaret Pennington –
got this for my grandson’s birthday and his smile said it all. He’s already turning it over every few minutes. Lovely little thing.

Third thing I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good one. Nicely made, the gold bits catch the light well on my desk. Bit pricey for what it is, perhaps, but it does the job and gets compliments.
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my grandson Alfie who’s seven and he’s barely put it down. He turns it over and sits watching the sand trickle through, then tells me proudly that he’s “done an hour of reading” when it runs out. The gold bits catch the light on his bookshelf a treat, and the postie delivered it nicely wrapped too.

Spot on for keeping me honest during work sessions. Looks cracking on the desk too.
