No figets in my time, no.
I can talk yoyos, marbles, wood scooters, baseballs made out of cigarette boxes, even stickball. Not fidgets. What can a fidget do for me?. Are they fun, focus, facts, fad, fake, or FTF. Do you develop any special skills with 'em?. Are they doing any good to you?. You young tigers tell me. I see they go from 3 bucks to 75, according to materials and ball bearings. I'm more inclined to middle-of-the road on this. If it's any good. Advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!l. Good luck. Cheers.

They have much cheaper ones, especially for teachers to use in class, even just a regular class, with kids who don't have sensory issues. My daughter has some, a few neat ones too. None of hers cost $75 though, not even close to that. They are fun to play with and can help you concentrate or work out anxiety just playing with them. I use my daughters' a lot. H even uses one of hers, composed of small metal cubes that you can fold into various shapes, of course making it a large cube. He fiddles with it all the time, when he's trying to come up with lesson plans, or a to-do list, thoughts on a project. That fidget has pretty much become his. So I think even when anxious or just thinking, they can help.
Though if you are at home and want something to fidget with, clay or play-doh works too. Some of them are as simple as stress balls (though for kids, they will make them fun shapes). You can even make your own stress balls with balloons and flour; there are instructions online. Sometimes they sell variety kits with different types of fidgets, and of course, there is the all popular fidget spinner. My daughter likes them a lot in the car because she can feel & play around with them without looking at them as she is extremely prone to motion sickness. It helps her pass time on long drives, especially when the road noise is too loud to really talk (and she's got a pretty soft-picked voice unless yelling or screaming in anger).

They won't get more than 20 bucks from yours truly. You're barking at the wrong tree. Sorry. Good luck. Cheers.

I have multiple fidget toys. My favorite is called tangle. I have bad anxiety and I shred Kleenex in my pocket, ring my hands and pick the skin off my hands as well. Fidget toys help.
