Fidget spinners are getting weirder by the day (from an edible cookie version to one with lip gloss), and many are loving it. There is also a fidget spinner app that topped iOS rankings, taking the craze to a whole new level. We look at other de-stressing gadgets to shift your attention to.
Forever Spin
Bearing a stark resemblance to one of the totems (objects used to distinguish between dream state and reality) shown in the movie Inception, Forever Spin is a spinning top that boasts of a nearly friction-less rotation over a stainless steel base, and is available in over 10 colours. Made of high-quality alloy and metal, it is manufactured in Canada. Details: foreverspin.com
Thync Relax Pro
An advanced version of its flagship product Thync, Thync Relax Pro works best when placed at the back of the neck. It stimulates specific nerves around the area that helps reducing stress and improves quality of sleep. Works with an accompanying app. Details: thync.com
Random Stress Ball
When Yanko Design shared this prototype of a stress ball that has words printed on its surface, we realised it is very similar to Egg Map (it has maps replaced with words). However, to make out what the words are, you need to press the ball and enlarge the area where the word ispresent. Nothing like a stress-relieving dictionary, is there? Details: yankodesign.com
Fidget Cube
The fact that such a small device is the tenth-highest crowdfunded project on Kickstarter speaks volumes of its popularity. The humble cube gets a makeover that satisfies all kinds of fidgeting cravings, as it has switches, buttons, gears, a micro joystick, a spinning disc and a rubbing stone. Small and smart, this gadget is reasonably priced too. At `599 on fidgetcube.in
