Fidget toy ideas

1st Brother got some tissue lasered off the roof of his mouth and sewn on below his bottom front teeth in mid January. The procedure was recommended after he got hit in the mouth with a pickleball racket in PE in October 2017 and had to get some of the bruised, torn gums clipped away. (It was the worst physical injury any of my kids have had so far. Pretty lucky, I know). Just before his graft, I had the idea to give him a velcro hair roller to put in his pocket to help him deal with nerves. He could squeeze it tightly enough to cause a little good pain. Sounds good, right? He liked it.

In early February I played 9 holes of golf when the temperatures were around 45 and it was raining on and off. I bought a shakeable hand warmer in the pro shop that stayed hot the rest of the day, and it was really nice to have for golf and in general. I went online to buy a big pack for my husband, who was about to take his own VERY cold and rainy golf trip to Bandon Dunes, Oregon, and found there is such a thing as a re-usable hand warmer that you charge with a USB cord and a computer. Doesn't that sound like a comfort? Not only that, you'll be as warm as if your lover was there!

I couldn't resist buying several of The World's Smallest Stretch Armstrong toys around Christmas. One became a stocking stuffer, and I mailed two to high school friends who turned 40 this winter. Another great way to fidget your troubles away.
