Stress balls, fidget toys, etc.?

I’m honestly curious where I could pick up something like this here in the States...

Basically, just looking for some rubber gear... does any store actually stock stuff like this? :P

Nah, you honestly can't find rubber bouncy balls anywhere in Washington, D.C. 🙄

I’m also wondering which specific store would actually carry this. 😕

Go hit up the perfume counter right next to Lush over in Petrinja

What is that supposed to mean, "maybe check it out"? Do they actually have it in stock or not?

You see them everywhere at street fairs and festivals in every little town—just sitting there at vendor stalls. Honestly? The quality is absolute garbage. But hey, they’re incredibly easy to whip up yourself if you don't mind getting a little messy 😉

Just grab some all-purpose flour and a single water balloon. You slowly fill the balloon with the dry flour, but here's the trick: you have to constantly squeeze it to make sure there aren't any air pockets left inside. It takes forever to get right, but once you've packed it tight, you've got yourself the perfect stress ball 😵

Look, I’m not about to mess around with my kitchen by using some kind of balloon... seriously, we just don't have that kind of setup here in the States... alright

Man, you can find all sorts of lights at the local market, even those water-filled ones...

at the pharmacies

Just at the local pet shops.

it doesn't really help at all

I’ve lost my cool with my boss a few times now—but somehow I’m still standing and everything's fine... so it hasn't actually done anything to lower my stress levels...👎

I’ve lost my temper with my boss more than a few times—yet somehow, she’s still walking around perfectly fine... so clearly, it hasn't done a thing to lower my stress levels.👎

🤣 😂 👍

Back to the topic: I decided to buy myself a little plush smiley face toy to squeeze when things get intense; it has this absolutely manic grin that makes it impossible not to crack a smile.😁
Laughter therapy, I suppose...👍

Does anyone happen to know where I could pick up some stress balls around Washington, D.C.? I'm looking to grab one as a gift, maybe... if anyone has any leads.

I think I actually stumbled upon some while I was out picking up some blank DVDs at an electronics store, but honestly, I can't quite remember which one it was. 😁

Well, I guess that’s something. I actually have a contact nearby, so I'll probably reach out and ask them about it. Thanks!
