Hands down the best ring ever.  I am in LOVE with this anti-anxiety ring. I have never been this excited about a piece of jewellery (and I have had lots over the years!).  I did a lot of research to find this ring (there are many other inferior ones out there) and it is the best I could find.  This not only looks amazing, but it works so well.  It's lightweight but sturdy so not distracting…the little silver balls all move smoothly around the ring and also spin smoothly.  They are super smooth to the touch and are amazing to play with, particularly if you have a meeting or an event that can be stressful and you want something to fiddle with that won't make noise or attract attention.  An absolute must for anyone who is neurodivergent, just brilliant 👏🏻🫶🏽

Where have you been all my life???! These candles are excellent.  I have hyperosmia (super sensitive to scents) so I can't burn traditional candles (plus I have cats so it's safer for me to have an alternative!).  I previously tried battery-operated candles, but they all looked quite cold in the light they threw off, and all had a terrible flickering effect, which really set my nerves on edge.  Then I found this beautiful candle set (I have the gold coloured as they're super warm looking but the grey are stunning too).  They're a sleek design, silent, and the best bit is the light they give off.  It has the most warming and relaxing glow that doesn't bother my eyes.  The ‘flame’ part of the candle gently bobs backwards and fowards as though it was floating in the breeze and this create a gentle movement to the light that is so realistic.  Absolutely transfixed by these, they calm me down, create the most friendly glow, look fabulous and of course pet-friendly…..I think my cats love these even more than I do as they sit and stare for ages.  One of my most favourite purchases 🥰

Absolutely the best small water bottle I've had.  I'm super clumsy (always knocking things over/dropping them, much like my dypraxic friends), but I like to stay hydrated when I'm at my work desk so I needed a water bottle that felt good in my hand, wasn't slippery, and that I could drink from but w...  This water bottle is fabulous.  It has a super smooth texture that feels soft but slightly grippy so my mind registers its presence in my hand a little easier and I've found I drop this bottle less.  It's lightweight but solid (from my own experience it bounces off the floor very well without creating a mess), wonderfully easy to drink out of (when I'm sat working or at the gym working out) and in lovely colours that don't frazzled the mind.  Massive benefit that it's designed to hold pieces of fruit in the liquid too if you want to dress up your water.  I love this water bottle, highly recommended for anyone in particular who struggles with certain textures, you should be ok with this one 👏🏻🫶

It's the best sensory light projector I've come across!  Not only does it project clearly, but it has the option of adding white noise to help with sleep, AND has loads of settings for you to alter the noise and brightness levels so you can adjust it perfectly to whatever you need.  Kids will absolutely love this.  But I also know many neurodivergent adults who use these in their own bedrooms, living and office spaces, and who find them incredibly calming as well as so, so beautiful to watch.  I would love for every person to have one of these in their homes to relax with.  These make awesome gifts 🥰

These bubble tubes are incredible for creating gentle light and calming visuals.  Frankly, whether you're a kid or a grown-up, this is going to massively relax you, and you have the added benefit of not having to look after real fish!  These are fantastic in a corner of the room to give that lovely gentle movement or placed in front of a mirror to create more light and movement.  Lots of my neurodivergent friends have tried and liked them in both positions so just see what works for you.  Such a fantastic sensory light 👏🏻

Best sensory projector light for adults by far!  There are plenty of neurodivergent children I know of who love this, but feedback to me has been that the adults, in particular, love the gorgeous projection.  If you're wanting to whisk yourself away to another part of the galaxy for some serious mental relaxation, then this is the projector for you.  Fantastic in any room in your house and particularly fabulous if you're wanting to do sleepovers or parties.  Incredible ❤️

The most snuggly comforting cover for a hot water bottle!  There are quite a few fabrics that I just don't like the feel of, particularly when those fabrics get warm, so I spent such a long time finding a water bottle that had the right cover (I thought that finding a cover first then a hot water bottle to f... Better to find one that has the right cover with it already).   This little cover looks charmingly like a jumper and so feels like you're snuggling someone rather than something and I absolutely loved that.  It also radiates the right amount of heat so protects your from the hot water bottle but also allows the warmth to drift through, very comforting 😌

What a fabulous collection of fidget toys.  This is the ideal pack if you or your children struggle with focus or need something to feel calmer.  A fantastic mix of items here covers a big part of the range of sensory fidget toys.  There are a lot on the market, lots of good ones too, but this is one of the better collections I've come across, particularly for autistic, ADHD, and dyspraxic people 👏🏻

The ultimate in fidget toys for helping reduce stress and increase focus.  If your budget can stretch to this and you only want one fidget toy to take with you wherever you go, then this is it.  I find it helps me (and everyone in my family…we are all neurodivergent with cognitive variations…some with two or three!) to feel chilled out and attentive.  I find this really helps when I'm on zoom calls for lengths of time that need me to focus or in high stimulation environments.  You will not want to put this down, and that's absolutely ok, that's what it's there for, to help with your mental peace.  This really is a game-changer, I hope it brings you as much clarity and calm as it does for us ❤️

A lovely, affordable way to show acceptance of all types of neurodivergence and to celebrate neurodiversity.  This is such a lightweight bracelet, looks great, and fits a range of wrists from children to adults and they make fantastic little gifts for party bags and events.  Show your support by wearing the lovely bracelet that captures both the infinity symbol for neurodivergence alongside the various colours of the spectrum to show there are many shades of neurodivergence.  Thank you for your support ∞🌈🫶

An absolute classic print of Henri Matisse, perhaps one of his most famous.  The natural colours he chooses and the gently curving lines of his drawings means the mind finds this incredibly easy to process and it's also a stunning piece to hang in any room and makes a brilliant gift to yourself or for others 🌟

Absolutely fantastic sensory putty.  These are great for helping to reduce anxiety and for keeping your hands busy, which can help with focus.  I love that these come in different consistencies, because we have different needs on different days, so being able to choose which putty to use is fabulous.  These are also awesome for helping with hand mobility and strength - you might as well give your hands a gentle workout while you play.  Cool colours and feels lovely, these are great to just pop in your desk drawer for when you need a quick fix 🙌

These are incredible!  I have one in every room of my house.  It's so easy to become overwhelmed when you are neurodivergent, that having something to hand to create that perfect 1 minute rest your mind needs is fabulous.  These feel lovely to the touch, are so wonderfully relaxing to watch, and take the right amount of time for all the droplets to fall that the brain needs to reset and have a little rest.  These make wonderful gifts and adults and kids absolutely love them ❤️

If your budget can stretch to it, this is a next level awesome beanbag lounger, loved by everyone 👏🏻 Many neurodivergent people like different seating options, particularly beanbags and beanloungers that seat us closer to the floor.  They make us feel more comfortable physically and mentally, so please put beanbags in as many room as you can.  This particular bealounger is awesome!  Not only is this an outstanding gaming lounger but it can be used in any room - this would be perfect for any snug to read all the books you've been promising yourself you'll get around to reading!  This is essential for any gamer 🕹️🫶🏽

The ULTIMATE in fabric luxury.  Neurodivergent people can really struggle to wear heavy or rough fabrics, so cashmere is perhaps the most neurodivergent-friendly fabric there is.  It's like wearing the softest hug and you can almost forget you're wearing it as it feels so natural and incredibly touchable.  The ultimate in luxury and a staple for your wardrobe.  This particular design is perfect to keep you snuggly in the colder months but it's also fabulous at keep you cool in the warmer months.  If your budget can stretch to cashmere, it's the go-to of all fabrics and anyone will love the feel.  This is a top end gift for yourself or a loved one ❤️

The ULTIMATE pet carrier.  Every time I go to my vets they remark on how cool it is and that they've never seen one like it before.  I have two, one for each of my cats so they can keep their own cat blanket in there for their own familiarity and comfort.  They're amazing.  The top has a large opening to lift pets easily in and out.  The front has a large opening to pets can wander in and out and what I especially love is the little hatch inside the main front opening that will keep your pet inside the carrier but allow you to pop your hand in for gentle reassuring pets and givin... My favourite part is that this can be secured in place with your seatbelt so less worry about the carrier moving on your way to the vets or transporting your little dogs to the park.  Absolutely love these, best gift ever for someone with pets too 🥰

Perhaps the MOST iconic of Henri's Mattise's pieces of art.  You absolutely cannot go wrong in hanging this anywhere in your own home or office or gifting to someone else.  These colours and this design is incredibly sensory underloaded and super easy for the mind to process, so if you or your friends are neurodivergent they will be soothing on the mind but absolutely anyone shoud find this art intuitively appealing.  What an incredible artist and what an incredible piece of art 🌟

After 48 years I have finally found tea towels that not only actually dry, but dry mega fast once used, AND do not leave fluff on everything!  I can't remember when I last came across this phenomenon, it was probably at my grandma's house when I was a little girl and they made proper tea towels!

My neurodivergence means I'm incredibly sensitive to the feel of fabrics, especially when they get wet so finding these tea towels that feel lovely even when they're being used/drying out is amazing.  I have the yellow and white ones and they add sunshine to my kitchen, there are so many lovely shades.  

Recommend 100% as neurodivergent-friendly ❤️

I could write endless paragraphs about this.  It's an absolute game-changer for anyone who has organisation problems, memory issues, loses notes, and who just want to move away from using endless note pads.  If you love your tech and making your life easier, then the ReMarkable 2 is amazing.  

I used a friends and fell in love with it.  I now have my own and it is incredible. 

Super easy to learn to use, feels great in the hands, feels like you're writing on paper and so cool to have all your scribbles, lists, documents and everything else connected automatically to your computer, so anything you jot down on the go is sync... 

Love this 100% and totally neurodivergent friendly due to the matt colours, matt surface, soft texture, lack of noise, and super helpful if your neurodivergence needs a helping hand ❤️
