Bought this for my desk at work and it’s become the thing everyone stops to look at. The sand trickles down through the frame and builds up a different little landscape each time you rock it, so no two flips look the same. I’ve caught myself watching it instead of answering emails. The black metal frame feels properly solid too.

got this for my daughter’s 9th birthday and she went quiet for a good ten minutes, which never happens. She keeps flipping it to see what ‘mountain’ she gets next and has now named each one. It lives on her bedside table and she’s already told her friends about it. Cracking little gift.
Doreen Whitaker –
Bought for my grandson. He gave me the biggest smile when he opened it. Lovely thing.
Simon Achterberg –
Really pleased with it. Looks smart on the bookshelf and the colours are richer than the photos suggested. Only small niggle is that it’s a touch heavier than I expected, so not one for a flimsy shelf.
Priya Nair –
Third thing I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good one. Arrived well wrapped, and the landscapes it makes are lovely to watch. Bit pricey if I’m honest, but I don’t regret it. Will be back for more gifts no doubt.
Colin Fairbrother –
Spot on.
Jenny Stoddart –
It’s a nice piece and does what it says, but it’s noticeably smaller than I’d pictured from the listing. I’d imagined something with more presence on the mantelpiece, and it looks a bit lost there. Works well enough, just check the dimensions before ordering.
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my grandson who’s seven and he hasn’t put it down since the postie dropped it off. He flips the frame over and over and watches the little landscape build itself, then tells me it’s “a different mountain every time, Nana.” Sits on his bedside table now and it’s the only thing that calms him before bed. Chuffed to bits.

Spot on. Looks cracking on my desk.
