This one might seem odd but I love them. I bought them for my plants but then my daughter and I found that the fine mist feels really good when you spray it on yourself too. It’s a nice sensory break and helps with anxiety. The mist is fine enough th...
Blue Glass Spray Bottle
This is a number one must have if you have rime blindness. I order one every year and laminate it so I can use dry erase markers. It’s calming and beautiful and helps me and my family to visualize time and plan things with less stress. The designer i...

I use these traveling on planes and in other noisy situations on silent and the lowering of volume results in far more energy when I’m done. It’s like magic for me. Wish I had known this years ago. There are plenty of brands and options for trying th...
Shop Noise-Cancelling Headphones
For work things I like a sort of bullet journal style dotted notebook but I don’t do the full bullet journal style. These are great for lists and ideas.
Bullet & Dotted Journals - Notebooks
I like to have these all over the place so if I'm unexpectedly anxious or bored I grab one. Or if someone else near me needs one I can give them away.

Gamify habits with this little app! The free version is great. Highly recommend.

A nice wooden fidget from a wildlife organization.

These are heavy, slightly cold, and pretty! Fun to carry around in your pocket or purse.
Chime Heart – sold individually
I have tried a few and this one is the perfect feel for me.
Weighted Blanket
Stay hyrdrated! Find your fave waterbottle that's easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and bring it with you. I like the hydroflask with the wide mouth so I can get it really clean.
Insulated & Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Do you have a color or stone that brings a sense of calm? I love this one but they come in all different styles.
Amazing Gemstone Labradorite Worry Stone
I really don't like filling the world with plastic things though these are nice to have around if you like a fidget that gives you a little prick. They don't hurt or anything but they're a different feel for sure.
3D Print Spiky Double Axis Roller Fidget Toy
These can help just to dim the background noise in big crowds or other places where you hear too much all at once.
Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs with Blue Filters
A set like this has the added benefit of increasing grip strength while fidgeting which has been shown to be protective for older people as well (to prevent falls). These do take a little effort to squeeze so only choose these if you like fidgeting t...
Pnrskter Hand Grip Strengthener 6 PCS Set
These get cold and they provide a nice little sensory break.
Jade Roller Facial Massager for Face & Neck
Not for everyone but a light up clickey keyboard can be really fun for the sensory people. I like to use mine now and then and it's a fun change. I don't use it for every day but I do know some adhd people who use them regularly.
