Looking for some new fidget toys to help stop scratching. Currently use tangles and snake puzzle. Sometimes a popper toy or something soft like a teddy. Any suggestions what to try?

They are called S biners but that doesn’t matter. They are clever, smooth, small and have a swiveling catch which is what unlocks the little gates at each side:Looking for some new fidget toys to help stop scratching.

I once tried these in a shop but they were super pricey. I did like them though. I will have a Google And see if I can find any which are more affordable. They are also relatively discrete which would be useful in professional scenarios. Thankyou for reminding me of these.While they are not exactly considered toys, I have found that Baoding balls (chinese exercise/meditation orbs held in the hand) can offer both focus and relaxation as well as keeping your hand limber.
If you had a set for each hand, it would be hard to scratch yourself.
Many have little chimes inside, but you can get them without as well if the sound would annoy you.
Just a thought as it may not be anything like what you are looking for.
These looks lovely ThankyouThey are called S biners but that doesn’t matter. They are clever, smooth, small and have a swiveling catch which is what unlocks the little gates at each side:

Nice going to have try this. When I was in primary school I was given coins to fiddle with to help my focus so this Is a nice memory.Another suggestion, practice "rolling" a coin with the backs of your fingers. The concentration will take your mind off your anxiety and the coin gives you a nice way to fidget.
Oh yes infinity cubes ! That’s what they are I forgot the name . I use fidget spinner and infinity cubesAh yeah, infinity cubes IIRC. I've seen those around for sale and they always intrigue me for stimming but I just know I'll inevitably go back to like...just clicking my smartphone's stylus or fiddling around with a small Transformer as a fidget object IDK why.
Maybe it's just because I've never actually bought something specifically for stimming so I just use stuff I already have.
I do love clicking pens, l just realized that. OmgPens have always been my go to. Either clicking or tapping on my thigh. It doesn't draw a too much attention at work. I recently got a pen with a spinning top and it has been nice as well.
