Fidgety Fidgets

A bit more of a lighthearted poll / discussion: How many of you use fidgets? If yes, how many do you have, what types, and what’s your favourite?

I have at least two fidget spinners, two fidget rings, an infinity cube, a fidget dice thingy, and two bike chain fidgets as purposely made fidgets. And then I have my dogs ashes in a necklace and I have to wear a whistle for work so those end up being fidgets as well. All the intentionally made fidgets were so useful when I worked a desk job that had a tonnnnn of down time and a boss who was a micromanager so I couldn't just chill out I had it look active. Now I mostly just wear the rings on occasion and play with the infinity cube. And then my whistle for work has a bite guard so I do end up chewing on that 😂

I can relate. I work at a desk most of the time so do a lot of fidgeting there. I did have this hand roller fidget thing I keep at my desk, and every time the boss had to come see me he would play with it, so I told him to leave it on his desk and use it to relieve the stress. He’s been very understanding and has learnt over time the more he rides me and gets on my back, the less I do. He now just leaves me to do whatever I like and knows work will be completed with plenty of time to spare.

I’ve got a Mechforce Hurricane spinner (had on me every day for the last 8 years), and recently purchased 2 mechanical rebound push sliders from Temu. I fidget most of the time, but especially so when I’m stressed, anxious, or have to really focus on something. I feel absolutely lost if I don’t have one with me at any given moment. Had 2 occasions where I lost the spinner and managed to go back and find it the following day the first time (fell out of the car into a bush when I was at the shops), and a week later the second time (was in the dog bed but I turned the house upside down and was convinced I lost it at the shopping centre). I’ve managed to lose the clear 3mm ball on the slider about 6 times and somehow found it each time.
