Everyone knows that one day when nothing will succeed. As if the situation wasn’t stressful enough, there is also anger and frustration. Some people react to sports, others lack the necessary valve to vent their anger. This is where anti-stress toys can be useful.
One from Swiss Life shows that 63 percent of German employees perceive the stress level in their job as high. The insurance and financial consulting company carried out a representative study in collaboration with the opinion research institute YouGov. 2027 people took part in it (online). The results were already recorded in 2019, but it can be assumed that the pressure to perform in many households increased with the onset of the corona pandemic and the resulting mobile office. There are handy gadgets for household use to reduce stress or to cope better with stressful situations. We would like to introduce a few of them to you at this point.
1. Anti-stress dice
Do you get nervous quickly in stressful situations? Then this cube could be a welcome distraction for you – or more precisely your fingers. It consists of six pages that have been designed differently. You can press and turn, click and roll or move things on it. This is supposed to reduce stress.
2. Anti-stress toy set
In order to lower the stress level, it is particularly beneficial if you concentrate on something else. Like this toy collection, for example, consisting of twelve different gadgets that can be squeezed and pulled apart, turned and squeezed together. This is said to have a calming effect on the body.
3. Anti-Stress Magnetic Balls
As you can see from the name, this anti-stress toy is made of magnetic balls. When put together, creative structures are created that should not only promote your spatial thinking, but also help to reduce stress. And by the way, the magnetic balls also have a practical use, as they stick to refrigerators and pin boards, magnetic boards and whiteboards.
4. Anti-stress squishies doll
When the stress level rises noticeably, it’s time to let go again. For example on this squishies doll made of environmentally friendly PU foam, which you can squeeze as you wish. The special thing about the anti-stress toy is that it returns to its original shape after each squeezing process. If you need an even larger test object, you can use this oversized one let off steam.
5. Anti-stress coloring book
This coloring book for adults quite rightly bears its title: “Shut up, I’m painting”. It contains various swear words that you can color in with the appropriate felt-tip or colored pencils. The painting should help to calm down again and to get rid of all the stress, but also other problems.
6. Anti-Stress-Cup
There is hardly a living being that exudes more serenity than a sloth. And since tea is known to calm the nerves, this anti-stress cup combines both components in one product. If the pressure is particularly high, this mug should remind you to take a deep breath every now and then. In this sense: Ooommm.
7. Fidget Cube against stress
This fidget cube was also specially developed to relieve stress and reduce anxiety. This should be made possible by twelve pages with different structures (made of environmentally friendly ABS plastic), which you can click and turn, roll and snap, among other things. This should relax the body and mind better.
8. Rag doll against stress
It is not without reason that this doll reads: “If you are stressed, box me”. In fact, the toy should help you to relieve stress and anger or even aggression – by simply giving it one. And so that the doll named Max can withstand your blow, it has special suction cups.
