Details
Clock numbers are abstract; sand is not. This is a single 30-minute sand hourglass — flip it and the deadline becomes something you can physically see draining, which is exactly the nudge a time-blind brain needs to feel a half-hour actually passing.
How people use it
- One 30-minute block — homework sprints, focus pomodoros, screen-time limits
- Silent (no ticking, no alarm) — calmer than a beeping phone timer
- Visual, not numeric — no reading, no mental maths, just a shrinking column of sand
Honest notes
- You receive one 30-minute hourglass. The colour is sent at random — the photo shows the maker's wider colour-and-duration range, not the contents of one order.
- It's a glass-and-plastic sand timer, not an electronic one — nothing to charge, nothing to break a battery over.
- Ships tracked from our supplier; allow a little longer than our UK-printed items.
For a digital 30-minute disc-style countdown instead, our visual timers guide covers the options. Pairs naturally with The ADHD Daily Planner for blocking the day into watchable chunks.
The practical bits
Ships tracked to the UK. Free UK delivery over £40, and the 14-day promise applies: if it doesn't click, tell us and we'll sort it.
Common questions
Which colour will I get?
Colour is sent at random — the photo shows the maker's full range, but each order is a single 30-minute hourglass in a surprise colour. If you need a specific colour, drop us a line before ordering and we'll do our best.
Is it really 30 minutes?
Yes — this is the 30-minute timer in the range. One flip runs a full half hour of sand.
Does it make noise?
None at all — no ticking and no alarm. It just runs out quietly, which many people find far less stressful than a phone timer.
