Sure, cell phones have taken over the duties of old-fashioned gadgets like thermometers, compasses, calculators, and stopwatches. But sometimes technology can take the fun out of what you're doing. If you're the type of person who likes to use old-fashioned gadgets for fun, you'll love this $9 kitchen timer from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia at Target. Not only is it functional, it's also beautiful to look at.

The Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Metal Kitchen Timer features a simple metal stand and an easy-to-read face that can be set up to 60 minutes. Just like your mom's timer, this timer can be wound clockwise between 55 and 0, then counterclockwise to set the time you need.

And because of its vintage design, this timer will be just as useful a kitchen accessory as a ceramic crockery or a cute dish towel.

“We love it in the kitchen so much we also bought one for our daughter to help her concentrate on her studies,” wrote another. “I like that it's analogue and not digital. Follow the instructions to ring it, wait until it hits 55 then set it back to the time you want.”

“So cute,” wrote another. “Just the right size, colour and weight. Once you read the instructions it works every time. Perfect for my kitchen,” while another added: “This timer is such a cute and functional addition to my kitchen. I've been using it for months (maybe close to a year) and it works perfectly every time. I would highly recommend this kitchen timer to anyone looking for a stylish way to keep their biscuits from burning.”

If you want to keep your kitchen analog and cook meals the way your grandma used to make them, be sure to pick up the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Kitchen Timer, which is only $9 and will add a whole lot of nostalgia to your space.
