Gifts for Stimming
Fidgets, textures, and sensory tools that make moving and self-soothing feel good.
Speks Slabs | $15
For an easy on-the-go tactile stim, we love these slabs from Speks. You can stick them on your phone, laptop, water bottle, or even a notebook to stim, energize, and focus throughout your day.
Spiky Massage Ball | $7
Like to pain stim but not ready to spend big bucks on it? Try a spiky massage ball and roll your foot over it or squeeze it in your hand.
Shimmery Watercolors | $70
We could genuinely stare at these sparkly, color-shifting watercolors from Iuile for hours. And you know what? Why not! This sampler pack comes with 36 stunning colors, but peruse their website for a variety of palette sizes, price points, and colors.
Phone Wristlet | $55+
If you’re neurodivergent like us, you might tend to misplace your phone. That’s why we’re into these phone wristlets that are not only stylish but functional. And bonus: you can pick a texture of beads that’s fun to jingle and fidget with, too.
Totem Neckerchief | $114
Donna Wilson is a Motley Bloom favorite – the bright colors, soft wool, and high-quality materials make for a delightful sensory experience all around. This neckerchief is a great way to bring the comfort of natural fibers on the go if you’re someone who’s tactile-seeking.
Accupressure Mat | $119
If you’re someone who likes to stim and regulate through pain, the spiky texture of Shakti’s acupressure mat was made just for you. Lie on it to energize in the morning or to calm in the evening. Or, put it under your feet while you’re at your desk to stim while you work.
Sardine Hairclips | $26
We’re feeling fishy! And these shimmery fish hairclips are as cute as they are functional. Add a bit of opalescence to your outfit, keep your hair out of your face, and vizzy stim to the cutie carrying case, too.
Sun Valley Sherpa | $168
For the tactile-seekers who like a warm, fuzzy sherpa texture, this oversized half zip will feel like the fluffy cloud of your dreams. Zip it all the way up, bury your face in the fluff, and tuck your hands in the oversized pockets for the ultimate ghost mode experience.
CalmTouch Hoodie | $60
This heavyweight fleece hoodie is a tactile-seeker’s dream. Run your fingers over the textured details inside the pocket and on the cuffs, or fidget with the removable stress balls that easily tuck into the front pocket — all while luxuriating in the soft, oversized, and wrinkle-free comfort of the hoodie itself.
