Fidgets
My partner's favorite chewy. Great to keep him occupied and not putting pens and stuff in his mouth when his meds wear off.

My favorite chew, not super wide or hard. Probably not great for a more aggressive chewer. Keeps me from putting pens and pencils in my mouth and arguably tastes better.

Hands down the house favorite fidget.

Good quality. Easy and it doesn't take long for the motion to become smoother with use. I enjoy it for the absent mindedly fidgeting while watching something or listening to recorded lectures.

Squishy toys are a whole lot of fun and these would be great for older kids & adults. Product description says that legs and feet can be a bit fragile and potential choking hazard for small humans and pets.
Frog Squishy
Sensory bags and panels like these are great for on the go. I carry similar items for my toddler because she is easily overwhelmed when we go places and it lets her redirect her energy or focus as she needs.
Squish Panels- Set of FOUR
Squishy lizard? Yes please! And from my understanding of the type of silicone, it shouldn't be sticky, so no wall and ceiling lizards.
Lizard Squishy
Bit of a shameless plug, but these necklaces really help me have a more discreet fidget when I am out and about, and were quite popular at the vendor show I did at my college in the winter. I don't even have to think about packing it in my purse beca...
Fidget Necklace - Hematite ring bead with glass or stone bead center
I've seen a lot of different reminder charms, and different things work for everyone. It's been on my list to try in our house.

Click Clacks! I am a big fan of mechanical keyboards so I am really excited when I see items like this. It won't be a silent fidget but can be great for redirection

Daily Life
They can clip to keyrings or purses, just have to remember to put them back in their bags. Super useful because where I live we get charged for bags at the store and that gets rid of those charges on the quick store runs.
Kaxich Foldable Reusable Grocery Tote Bags, 6 Pack
Portable. Take your meds with you and *take them*. We're really great at forgetting them, give yourself more chances to remember.
INVODA Weekly Pill Box 3 Times 7 Compartments
Great for a quick grab and go bag. I keep college essentials in mine with a little bit of space to add my tablet and a notebook. Not super big and doesn't give me the chance to over pack.
MOSISO Sling Backpack, Travel Hiking Daypack

Not heavy, holds a charge for a good while. Higher capacity charger from what we normally use and it is about the size of my phone so it isn't an inconvenience to carry.
Anker Portable Charger, 313 Power Bank (Slim)
Really great planner, glad that it's available in a dark theme as it's much better for my migraines.

I adore Fel of Acorn and Crow, and having fun stationary makes it a lot easier for me to keep track of things because of the dopamine!

Useful for leaving lists or just putting up and using like a mini white board. Super useful in our house for organizing and keeping important dates or things written down for everyone to see.
Amazon Basics Dry Erase Ticket Holder, 25 Pack
Good for our house because we don't *have* to carry them. they have little wheels and roll decently. They also don't get super heavy which is great for me. They're about a load in our HE washer if it isn't stuffed to the gills.
Caroeas 22" Rolling Slim Laundry Basket, Beige
We use for socks, and for the toddler we use for socks and underwear. It makes sorting easier and doesn't let her socks get stuck in our clothes.
