mind break
I bought this to give me a minute at work to mindfully refocus. I have not used it that way! However, it has been a fun, beautiful desk object which is a conversation started and has brought me joy. The wooden base contains a magnet and the sand is magnetized, so when it falls through the hour glass it sort of stands up and looks cool to watch. It doesn't make as many cool shapes as I had hoped, but it's still a very neat piece to decorate with.

Magnets and volume too small
Doesn't make formations anywhere near what it does in the video. There's about a teaspoon of magnets in the hourglass and they pretty much pile up like sand would. If they were bigger chunks and/or had more magnet pieces, the piece would look and act much more like a mindful or interesting display.

Great gift
The magnet inside the wood base is cool. It creates different shapes each time you turn it over
