$29.95

CMY Cubes use the primary colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow on a translucent cube in order to filter light to make other hues. As you twist and turn the cube, you get glimpses of an ever-changing spectrum of color. It’s a cool alternative to a fidget spinner and helps me focus when my mind starts to wander.


Lurera Faux Fur Anti-Anxiety Pillow

$69.96

Lurera is an anti-anxiety pillow that’s super soft, has a heating pad and a heartbeat simulator. It’s like hugging your favorite cat without the claw marks, shedding, or catitude. The heating pad heats easily in the microwave and stays warm for hours. I was a little skeptical of the heartbeat simulator, but it’s seriously soothing.
