Buddy of mine has two 3D printed spiral cone type things that perfectly twist together into one whole cone. Been meaning to get him to get me one from wherever he got his made. That thing never leaves my hand if I pick it up at his place.
Your holding it! Too bad I constantly loose them
The cap of my teddy bear. I've been doing that since forever to such an extend, that we had to replace the cap and might have to again some time soonish.
What is your thing called? Do you have a link?
It is called a bike chain/flippy chain fidget
fidget cube all the way. unfortunately i lost it a while ago :(
the chew toys. i like to bite.
I’m not sure what they are called but the spiky sensory finger rings are my go to for if I have to be out in public. They are subtle enough that people don’t seem to really notice and don’t get really get a lot of attention for it.
At home I’m a big fan of all the squishy gel cubes and things like that. I have a whole bunch of them at various firmnesses at textures. They unfortunately like to break so I go through them quicker than I’d like.
Acupressure rings
Oh, it sure is! Thank you, I couldn’t for the life of me remember the names of those things.
The fidget cube I had in school. Lost it, sadly :(
Honestly I really like things that click and scroll.
But I have found that I'm more fond of things that I can "solve" by muscle memory. I have a lot of those little nail puzzles where they fit together and have to be oriented a certain way to come apart and I love those.
