FlappyHappy

Flappy Happy is run by two autistic individuals. Our goal is to help make sensory items affordable and accessible.

[flappyhappystim]

We are Flappy Happy! We are a small Canadian business run by two autistic women.

When searching for fidget items, we’ve noticed that the vast majority are marketed towards children or the parents of children. We wanted to focus on adults that need fidgets. This partially comes from us wanting to say it’s okay to use fidgets (more than okay!), but also us wanting to include more discreet fidget items for those that may need or want them.

We carry a lot of your standard fidgets you’d expect like push pops, fidget spinners and similar.

But we also carry more discreet or adult focused fidgets. These might include things like calm strips (textured stickers), fidget earrings, fidget necklaces, and spinner rings.

Any signal boosting or help spreading the word is so beyond appreciated!

Our website is here.

We appreciate the word about us being spread, especially to other Canadians!

Here are some photos of some of our products below!

These are some of our Calm Strips! These are textured stickers you can place on your phone, bag, etc. They can be very grounding and soothing to touch.

You can see our full calm strip collection here!

These are some of our chewables! These are safe to chew on fidget items!

It looks like we can no longer order Calm Strips wholesale. In order to have strips on the future, we need to custom order with our own designs.

I am definitely willing to do that. I love Calm Strips. But the figuring out designs is definitely overwhelming.

My question to you if you really like calm strips or textured stickers, is what you look for?

I’d be looking at doing all three textures they have but there’s also the different shapes, and designs and colour patterns in general.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to you for helping me navigate the journey of being autistic before I even knew that's what it was. The stuff I've gotten from your site has brought me lots of comfort pre-diagnosis and does even more now that the mask is off. So, thank you very sincerely from this late diagnosed adult.

I’m so glad our products could help bring you comfort! I love being able to use them too and it makes me so happy to know others feel the same.

Our spinner rings are now available to ship to the states! I’ll be seeing how this goes and then potentially adding back products to ship most of our products.

Fingers crossed!

We are prepaying tariffs on our and before products leave from here.

We currently have a couple products available to US customers again.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the majority of our products but we are able to provide mobiis, calm strips and ark chews at this time.

is the website no longer running? :'( wish the best for you!

Hi anon!

I'm guessing you're from the USA, and unfortunately, at this time we are not shipping to the US due to difficulties with shipping over the border.

I'm hoping to put back some of our products soon. Namely, the ones from US small businesses because I think they might be easier to ship but I need to do some figuring out of how we do that on our end.

[flappyhappystim]

Love the selection of items you have and especially the mystery packs, this is the second time I've gotten one and they've been a fun surprise each time. Marble mazes and chews aren't things I would've considered at first but getting them in the first mystery pack led to me getting more. Some of the recent picks (fox chew, pink coffee cup chew, etc.) are so me that it's like you read my mind! Basically just wanna say this Canadian appreciates you muchly and I wish the business the best in the coming times 🫶

Awe, thank you anon! I really appreciate it.

I love getting to hear from other Canadians, and thank you so much for supporting our business.

The shipping we use for the USA has all been shut down. I’m sorry to those with outstanding orders. I will be refunding them and you will probably see refunds next week.

[flappyhappystim]

I really hope you guys can stay afloat! your feather chew necklaces are just about the best thing ever invented and I love them dearly 🥲 thank you so much for the work you do, and much love from northwestern ontario

Awe, thank you! I really appreciate that, and so glad you love them! They were one of the first chews I ever tried.

Hey feel free to delete this message if you find it annoying or whatever but I thought I would suggest: reach out to your local/Canadian school boards! As a teacher I'd love to have more of your products accessible and if you get approved by the boards you have a much wider audience as well.

I'm quietly giving your products in my classes for my kiddos who need them but perhaps the board is the way to go

Definitely not annoying. I really appreciate the suggestion, and I appreciate you!

I'll definitely talk to my business partner and see what we can put together, because it's a really good idea. Thank you!

At this time, anyone from the USA cannot purchase from our website. I am hoping that this situation changes, but at this time, it is extremely difficult to get items shipped over the border. Now that the products we make ourselves are subject to tariffs, it's really limited our options.

That said, probably about 90% of our customer base was located in the USA. Losing some products to sell earlier this year really hurt us with there being less orders from the USA, but not being able to sell any is honestly a bit scary. I'm not sure our business will be able to continue if this is long-term.

That said, we do have an advertising post that's focused on Canadians and we'd really appreciate any sharing of it. It's here.

We do have one University that purchases from us a couple times a year and they're significant orders. I'm going to try and put together some sort of packages to try and reach out to other Universities in Canada.

We want to be able to keep things going, so I'm going to try and figure it out, but it's a little tense right now.

Hi again! Thank you for answering my previous question about the chewable items :) I decided to get the moth bead chew necklace because I really liked the moth and the color scheme, and I also ordered the chill blends calm strips! I am very excited to get these in the mail :)

Calm strips are my favourite honestly. I have them on my laptop on phone.

I’m excited for you and can’t wait to ship your order!

[flappyhappystim]

I have a question about the chewable items. Can you get them even if you don't want to chew on them? The beaded ones look fun to fidget with my hands!

If that's how you want to fidget, I say go for it! I love rolling the beads.

I want to say that I have been replying to a lot of your comments on our post. They’re so nice! For some reason, my replies aren’t showing up though so I think tumblr is glitching.

We appreciate you all though. And maybe they’ll show up when tumblr stops acting up.
