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.

I'm so sorry you've been going through that. I've been going through very similar financial struggles (our toilet has been blocked for 3 weeks now and our oven also just went) and idk if this helps but it made me feel so much less alone when I read your post today. I hope things get better for you soon.

I’m sorry, anon! I’m genuinely glad it made you feel less alone.

Adulting sucks a lot sometimes.

gorgug!!

favorite thing about them: his kindness!!! least favorite thing about them: zac oyama said he’s straight. sorry zac my character now he’s bi favorite line: “it’s gorgug, keep going.” honestly what else brOTP: gorgug and fig they are bandmates and they are iconic bisexuals OTP: gorgug x ragh lately tbh nOTP: not a huge fan of gorgug x fig romantically but no hate to ppl who like them! random headcanon: gorgug is the king of making pb&j sandwiches. i’m of the firm belief that you have to be a parent to make the perfect pb&j but somehow he pulls it off anyway unpopular opinion: i’ve been liking gorgug x zelda less lately but i could probably be brought back around to it song i associate with them: biting down by lorde! favorite picture of them: this one! sorry it’s undescribed

send me a character!

you shouldn't even be selling to americans as a canadian business right now.

Despite the ongoing political conflict between the US and Canada, we do not believe that individual neurodivergent and disabled Americans should be punished for what their government is doing. Many Americans do not support the US president's economic threats against Canada, and many vulnerable and marginalized Americans are personally disproportionately negatively affected by what's going on. It seems unfair to deprive all Americans of access to resources that could be helpful in coping with these difficult times, and we have decided as a business that it isn't how we want to operate.

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.

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!

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.

just a heads up someone is commenting on your post recommending people to check their local dollar store first because they can get cheaper fidgets

Thanks for the heads up, anon.

I just wasn’t sure how to respond to that. I’m honestly in support of people getting fidgets they can afford. And they definitely have the right to share the resources. We definitely even try to share resources for people to make their own because we know they aren’t affordable to everyone. I’m mostly impressed that they said it was $1. I can’t remember the last time I went to a dollar store that was actually $1. I also don’t think some of our products would ever be available in a dollar store.

I will say that supporting our business directly supports us. We’re just trying to get by like everyone else and things have been a lot harder lately. We appreciate all of you that support us whether it’s by purchasing, spreading the word or even just silently cheering us on.
