Bought the 30 minute one to help my son (he’s 9) stick to his reading time without me nagging. He’s now completely hooked on flipping it over and watching the sand trickle through, and he actually asks to ‘start the timer’ before homework. It sits on his desk looking rather smart too. Money well spent.
Geoffrey Pritchard –
got this for my grandson’s birthday and his face lit up. He’s been timing everything since, even his toast!
Hannah Doyle –
Solid, nicely made and the 15 minute version is spot on for my pomodoro sessions. Looks lovely on the shelf. Only small niggle is that the base is a touch lighter than I’d pictured, but it hasn’t toppled yet. Happy enough.
Laura Henley –
The kids were chuffed to bits! Gave it to my grandson as a gift. he’s fascinated watching the sand flow while timing his reading sessions. A fab balance of old-world charm and modern flair.
