Hands down the best ring ever. I am in LOVE with this anti-anxiety ring. I have never been this excited about a piece of jewellery (and I have had lots over the years!). I did a lot of research to find this ring (there are many other inferior ones out there) and it is the best I could find. This not only looks amazing, but it works so well. It's lightweight but sturdy so not distracting…the little silver balls all move smoothly around the ring and also spin smoothly. They are super smooth to the touch and are amazing to play with, particularly if you have a meeting or an event that can be stressful and you want something to fiddle with that won't make noise or attract attention. An absolute must for anyone who is neurodivergent, just brilliant 👏🏻🫶🏽

This is incredible at drying hair - I have tried many of these and I either did not like the feel of the the fabric or they did not dry hair. This wrap is just great. It's microfibre, so will dry your hair fast and the wrap will dry fast after being used so it stays fresh for a long time between washes. It feels super soft and all of the proportions work for most hair lengths. If you struggle to have fabric in/on/near your hair, this might just be what you're looking for - it would make a fantastic gift for you or for for anyone else whether they are neurodivergent or not 🫶

Where have you been all my life???! These candles are excellent. I have hyperosmia (super sensitive to scents) so I can't burn traditional candles (plus I have cats so it's safer for me to have an alternative!). I previously tried battery-operated candles, but they all looked quite cold in the light they threw off, and all had a terrible flickering effect, which really set my nerves on edge. Then I found this beautiful candle set (I have the gold coloured as they're super warm looking but the grey are stunning too). They're a sleek design, silent, and the best bit is the light they give off. It has the most warming and relaxing glow that doesn't bother my eyes. The ‘flame’ part of the candle gently bobs backwards and fowards as though it was floating in the breeze and this create a gentle movement to the light that is so realistic. Absolutely transfixed by these, they calm me down, create the most friendly glow, look fabulous and of course pet-friendly…..I think my cats love these even more than I do as they sit and stare for ages. One of my most favourite purchases 🥰

Absolutely the best small water bottle I've had. I'm super clumsy (always knocking things over/dropping them, much like my dypraxic friends), but I like to stay hydrated when I'm at my work desk so I needed a water bottle that felt good in my hand, wasn't slippery, and that I could drink from but w... This water bottle is fabulous. It has a super smooth texture that feels soft but slightly grippy so my mind registers its presence in my hand a little easier and I've found I drop this bottle less. It's lightweight but solid (from my own experience it bounces off the floor very well without creating a mess), wonderfully easy to drink out of (when I'm sat working or at the gym working out) and in lovely colours that don't frazzled the mind. Massive benefit that it's designed to hold pieces of fruit in the liquid too if you want to dress up your water. I love this water bottle, highly recommended for anyone in particular who struggles with certain textures, you should be ok with this one 👏🏻🫶

Practical and TOUCHABLE business card holder. I have three of the the textured card holders and plan to get more (tip: if you have multiple card holders that carry your cards, then you can leave each one in the main bags/coats that you use so you don't have the added anxiety of searching for the... I have had many of my neurodivergent friends and family comment on how the texture looks great but also feels good under the fingertips. I'm sure the smooth option will be just as neurodivergent-friendly. It opens and closes firmly but gently without any clicking noises and will hold your fabulously neurodivergent-friendly business cards from Moo that you can find in another post. Would make a fab gift for your business friends 🎁🙌

THE best cat fountain I've come across. Not only is it super easy to keep clean and looks great, but it is sooooooo quiet. Some other cat fountains trickle (which is fine for some, but can drive some neurodivergent people crazy). This fountain just has a steady stream of water that doesn't make any noise (the water and the unit are super, super quiet) and my cats actually use it! So, I never need to worry if they are getting dehydrated, completely peace of mind 😌

Many neurodivergent people are sensitive to scents (me included), so it's really important we do as much as we can to reduce the smells around us to give our brains a much-needed break from unnecessary processing. I do a lot of cooking, so I have lots of leftover fruits/veggies in my fridge, including onions. My fridge is one of the quietest and most fabulous fridges I've ever had, I genuinely love it, but it loves to hold on to onion smells, so I had to find something that would be perfect at storing chopped or half onions in it. I did a lot of research, tried some that weren't great, but then came across this fantastic onion saver. It is easy to open and close, there's no part of it that's going to break with use, and it traps the onion smells inside of it. I find if I turn it upside down, I can put leftover chopped onion in the onion-shaped lid part then twist on the bottom and nothing leaks at all. It's absolutely doing the job 100% and I love it. There's also a lemon saver that I use and that works perfectly too so I'll add that to the list 🥳

Such a fantastic squeezer! The fact is many neurodivergent people have co-ordination issues and trying to use a traditional lemon squeezer can be a complete hassle. Lemons flying everywhere, juice everywhere, the twisting motion is just difficult for some. I use a lot of lemons in cooking and for my drinks, so I needed something sturdy and easy to handle. This squeezer is fantastic. Pop half the lemon into it, use both hands to squeeze the levers closed (much easy to coordinate I find) and the lemon is totally juiced. I genuinely love this 🥰

It's the best sensory light projector I've come across! Not only does it project clearly, but it has the option of adding white noise to help with sleep, AND has loads of settings for you to alter the noise and brightness levels so you can adjust it perfectly to whatever you need. Kids will absolutely love this. But I also know many neurodivergent adults who use these in their own bedrooms, living and office spaces, and who find them incredibly calming as well as so, so beautiful to watch. I would love for every person to have one of these in their homes to relax with. These make awesome gifts 🥰

These bubble tubes are incredible for creating gentle light and calming visuals. Frankly, whether you're a kid or a grown-up, this is going to massively relax you, and you have the added benefit of not having to look after real fish! These are fantastic in a corner of the room to give that lovely gentle movement or placed in front of a mirror to create more light and movement. Lots of my neurodivergent friends have tried and liked them in both positions so just see what works for you. Such a fantastic sensory light 👏🏻
100cm Colour Changing Sensory Bubble Lamp with Plastic Fish
Best sensory projector light for adults by far! There are plenty of neurodivergent children I know of who love this, but feedback to me has been that the adults, in particular, love the gorgeous projection. If you're wanting to whisk yourself away to another part of the galaxy for some serious mental relaxation, then this is the projector for you. Fantastic in any room in your house and particularly fabulous if you're wanting to do sleepovers or parties. Incredible ❤️

The easiest-to-handle toasted sandwich maker I've ever used. I'm so clumsy and have to be super careful in the kitchen. I came across this sandwich maker at a friend's house and decided to have a go to see if I could use it without damaging the food or myself, and SUCCESS! The big bonus for me was that there is a large gap between the handle that you drop down at the hot plate. It meant it was a lot safe for me to use and even if I did fumble a bit I didn't burn myself. This has a fantastic design and I'm making toasties every other day in our house, absolutely marvellous for anyone with co-ordination issues 🥳

The most snuggly comforting cover for a hot water bottle! There are quite a few fabrics that I just don't like the feel of, particularly when those fabrics get warm, so I spent such a long time finding a water bottle that had the right cover (I thought that finding a cover first then a hot water bottle to f... Better to find one that has the right cover with it already). This little cover looks charmingly like a jumper and so feels like you're snuggling someone rather than something and I absolutely loved that. It also radiates the right amount of heat so protects your from the hot water bottle but also allows the warmth to drift through, very comforting 😌

What a fabulous collection of fidget toys. This is the ideal pack if you or your children struggle with focus or need something to feel calmer. A fantastic mix of items here covers a big part of the range of sensory fidget toys. There are a lot on the market, lots of good ones too, but this is one of the better collections I've come across, particularly for autistic, ADHD, and dyspraxic people 👏🏻

The ultimate in fidget toys for helping reduce stress and increase focus. If your budget can stretch to this and you only want one fidget toy to take with you wherever you go, then this is it. I find it helps me (and everyone in my family…we are all neurodivergent with cognitive variations…some with two or three!) to feel chilled out and attentive. I find this really helps when I'm on zoom calls for lengths of time that need me to focus or in high stimulation environments. You will not want to put this down, and that's absolutely ok, that's what it's there for, to help with your mental peace. This really is a game-changer, I hope it brings you as much clarity and calm as it does for us ❤️

A lovely, affordable way to show acceptance of all types of neurodivergence and to celebrate neurodiversity. This is such a lightweight bracelet, looks great, and fits a range of wrists from children to adults and they make fantastic little gifts for party bags and events. Show your support by wearing the lovely bracelet that captures both the infinity symbol for neurodivergence alongside the various colours of the spectrum to show there are many shades of neurodivergence.

The BEST head torch you never knew you needed.

Absolutely fantastic sensory putty. These are great for helping to reduce anxiety and for keeping your hands busy, which can help with focus. I love that these come in different consistencies, because we have different needs on different days, so being able to choose which putty to use is fabulous. These are also awesome for helping with hand mobility and strength - you might as well give your hands a gentle workout while you play. Cool colours and feels lovely, these are great to just pop in your desk drawer for when you need a quick fix 🙌

You will wonder how you coped without this laser measuring instrument. Seriously, if you have any balance issues (like many who are neurodivergent) then the last thing you want to be doing is crawling around on hands and knees with a measuring tape trying to keep the tape in place while keeping your own balance! I spend a lot of time measuring rooms in properties and sometimes it's super awkward to fit your body in the right space to measure something correctly and particularly when the tape measure is not long enough for the job, I have now removed the enti... I can literally hold this gadget against a wall, click a button, and the reading tells me precisely the distance. Not only that, but as this is effectively one of the coolest laser pointers out there, my cats have a blast when I turn it into a cat toy, they love it! Really easy to use, lightweight laser measure 🕺👏🏻

These are incredible! I have one in every room of my house. It's so easy to become overwhelmed when you are neurodivergent, that having something to hand to create that perfect 1 minute rest your mind needs is fabulous. These feel lovely to the touch, are so wonderfully relaxing to watch, and take the right amount of time for all the droplets to fall that the brain needs to reset and have a little rest. These make wonderful gifts and adults and kids absolutely love them ❤️

I have RSI in my right hand and struggled to find a mous🙌e that I liked the feel of as well as was ergonomically good for me. I don't like using large ergonomic mice and have quite small hands so came across the Logitech one. Oh it so great! Not felt any issues in my right hand when using it, I like the feel, the buttons have gentle clicks to them and the scroller feels good under the fingertips. Absolutely fabulous that it is wireless as my OCD means I need a super tidy desk so it is really pleasing for me all round. What a fantastic mouse, highly recommend (I also have the keyboard, which is magnificent too!) 🙌

If your budget can stretch to it, this is a next level awesome beanbag lounger, loved by everyone 👏🏻 Many neurodivergent people like different seating options, particularly beanbags and beanloungers that seat us closer to the floor. They make us feel more comfortable physically and mentally, so please put beanbags in as many room as you can. This particular bealounger is awesome! Not only is this an outstanding gaming lounger but it can be used in any room - this would be perfect for any snug to read all the books you've been promising yourself you'll get around to reading!

The ULTIMATE in fabric luxury. Neurodivergent people can really struggle to wear heavy or rough fabrics, so cashmere is perhaps the most neurodivergent-friendly fabric there is.

The ULTIMATE pet carrier. Every time I go to my vets they remark on how cool it is and that they've never seen one like it before. I have two, one for each of my cats so they can keep their own cat blanket in there for their own familiarity and comfort. They're amazing. The top has a large opening to lift pets easily in and out. The front has a large opening to pets can wander in and out and what I especially love is the little hatch inside the main front opening that will keep your pet inside the carrier but allow you to pop your hand in for gentle reassuring pets and givin...

After 48 years I have finally found tea towels that not only actually dry, but dry mega fast once used, AND do not leave fluff on everything! I can't remember when I last came across this phenomenon, it was probably at my grandma's house when I was a little girl and they made proper tea towels!
My neurodivergence means I'm incredibly sensitive to the feel of fabrics, especially when they get wet so finding these tea towels that feel lovely even when they're being used/drying out is amazing. I have the yellow and white ones and they add sunshine to my kitchen, there are so many lovely shades.
