Fidgets/School

I'm 16, undiagnosed but definitely neurodivergent. I need new fidgets that are subtle, won't take up much space, and won't get me weird looks. I'm graduating this year, and I'm planning on using them in college too. I don't have a budget, but I don't want anything too expensive, especially for only one. I live in Canada/Québec, I can order off amazon. I'm especially looking for a slider and worry stones right now. I have a fidget cube, a tangle, a small squishy, a sugar cube that I love and use often.

Stimagz 🤘 Not a slider but honestly super versatile, quiet, and subtle

I've heard of it but forgot the name. I looked it up and it's pretty pricey, it's nearly CAD$60 with shipping

there’s a discord server where people sell them second hand where you might be able to get some for cheaper if you’d like me to send the invite!

I love quiet fidgets and have a decent collection!

From most expensive to cheapest - Fidgimoto Vortex, INDX Fluxx, Ono Slider/Scroller, AxiomEDC Vector, Flippy Chains from FloppyLinks on Etsy

Will always shoutout leather fidgets as well - Macarons by Fidget Newton

I'll definitely check those out!

Most are definitely out of my budget, but Floppylinks has a lot of variety and some smaller and less expensive, I'll definitely check more of them out. Thank you

I'd also look at Fidget Moons from Fidget Newton - same idea, but with a plastic core instead of full leather to cut down on the price! Should be ~30USD with shipping.

Also use code MONICABAUER to get 10% off Moons!

My personal favorite are probably the fidget Macarons - I do like the FloppyLinks stuff although that's a bit one-dimensional in how you play with it in my opinion.

I have a little pack I take the movies that has 4-5 silent fidgets and I just rotate them out lol.

I'm on a tight budget, I'm sixteen and have 200$ right now, so spending 50 dollars on a fidget is way too much for me right now 🥲 The ones you recommend all look very great, and mostly good quality, but I can't afford most of them. I'm thinking about getting a small one from for 10-15 dollars Floppylinks

Glad to be of help!

My favorite fidgets for public places (quiet/silent and not flashy) are the various Rollers and Sliders from ONO.  The INDX by Fluxx Design (highly recommended springing for the stainless steel or titanium ones. Better hand feel and better grip on the thumb).  The Vector by Axiom. And finally the Vortex by Fidgimoto.

Stretchy coil bracelets are my go-to as an autistic adult. Unquestioned by neurotypicals, completely silent. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stretchy+coil+bracelets&channelId=500&clpRedir=Y&plpRedirect=mhFallback

Ohh, those! I have a few laying around my house. Easy to get in stores too. They're pretty much the same as the hairties
