Being an adult is stressful at times, but the right stress relief toys can make your day a little easier and give you some room to breathe. From squishy cubes to magnetic putty to keyboard-style clickers, the market for tactile fidget tools designed for grown-ups has expanded well beyond the classic foam stress ball - and experts say there's a real reason adults are reaching for them. Stress toys often provide a calming, tactile distraction that redirects attention away from anxiety and helps release pent-up physical tension in muscles.
