As such, using a stress ball to expel energy and calm fidgeting might be helpful for anyone who struggles with stress and anxiety. To compile our list of the best stress balls, we consulted with Lisa McCrohan, MA, a Somatic Experiencing Psychotherapist, Integrative Coach, and author of Your Light Is Rising: Kindling the Courage of Your Soul. Based on her expert recommendations, we conducted extensive research on top products, focusing on high-quality stress balls that provide different sensory features, such as aromatherapy and color.

New Unique Shapes for Custom Stress Balls First, the right concept is chosen and developed. Sometimes our clients come to Happy Worker with clear ideas or concept drawings. Other times our clients haven’t yet built out the concept, shape, or messaging, but know they want custom stress toys or custom stress balls. Either way our teams will collaborate to co-conceive, develop and design the stress toy. This is handled step-by-step, starting from rough concepts through to finished designs. Turning Mascots, People, Buildings and Products into Custom Stress Balls Additional safety testing is required for stress toys intended or marketed for children and teens less than 15 years old. Happy Worker works with certified toy testing labs that perform U.S. CPSC, CPSIA, ASTM and other tests as required by each country and region to meet and exceed federal and international safety standards. At the beginning of each project we’ll draft a toy design plan, which includes a detailed project schedule with all the nitty-gritty steps and review stages. Together we’ll cheerily carry out the plan – and then, of course, we’ll happily deliver high quality custom stress relievers.
