Among the many varieties of fidget toys, pop its—brightly colored toys with dozens of pokeable bubbles that offer a similar sensation to popping bubble wrap—and simple dimples—a compact version of the pop it with only two or three larger bumps that can be used as a keychain—are the most popular among Faire customers, according to recent search volume. These toys can encourage tactile stimulation in children and adults alike, as well as assist in relieving anxiety.
