Really pleased with this hourglass, adds a lovely touch to our living room. only wish the sand flowed a tad slower for a longer effect. still, love the triangular design. classic.

Second time buying from here. The hourglass is lovely, love its elegant design. just a bit conservative on size, but still pretty fab. fits well on the office desk.
Sophia Brown –
my son and i spent ages just watching the grains fall. very soothing. chose the rectangular design, and it’s quite the showpiece in our lounge. well worth it!
David Edwards –
the hourglass itself is nice but came in a box that looked a bit tired, not quite the presentable wrapping i expected. still likes how it looks on the bookshelf.

bought the triangular one for my grandson Oliver, who’s seven and usually can’t sit still for two minutes. He watched the sand run through the whole way, then turned it over and did it again, and again. Now it sits on his bedside table and he uses it to time his teeth brushing, which is a miracle in itself. Chuffed to bits.
