Ebb Glass Hourglass Sand Timer
Free UK delivery on every order
14-day returns
A timer that doesn't live on your phone.
Timing a stretch of work on your phone means picking the phone up, and that is usually where the focus goes. Ebb sits on the desk instead. Lift the glass out of its beech base, turn it over and set it back: the sand runs for about 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the one you choose.
Why it works
- Time you can see: one look at the glass shows how much is left. No screen, no ticking, no alarm.
- Pick your length: 15 minutes for a short task or a break, 30 minutes for a longer stretch of work.
- Glass and wood: clear borosilicate glass with fine white sand in a pale beech base, plain enough to leave out on a desk or a shelf.
- Small footprint: about 16 cm tall and 8.5 cm across the base, so it fits beside a monitor or a stack of notebooks.

Delivery and returns
Delivery
Free delivery on every UK order. There’s no minimum spend.
Most of our products arrive in an estimated 6 to 9 working days from the day you order. A few take longer, up to an estimated 19 working days. They’re estimates, not fixed dates: busy periods, bank holidays and customs checks can add a few days.
Orders are dispatched from our international fulfilment partners’ warehouses, outside the UK. We deliver to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Returns
You can change your mind within 14 days of delivery, no reason needed. If something arrives faulty, damaged or wrong, we put it right at our cost.
Before you order, please note: change-of-mind returns go to our fulfilment partner’s warehouse, which is outside the UK, and you pay the return postage. The cost depends on the item’s size and weight, and international postage can cost more than a low-priced item. Faulty, damaged or wrong items are on us.
To start a return, email support@tophik.com with your order number.
