Super Mario Stress Balls: It’s a Squeeze, Mario!

Posted on by

Between the coronavirus outbreak and the impact it’s having on lives and livelihoods, there’s a lot of stress in our world these days. While they’re not going to solve any big problems, stress balls can help you work out some of your tension. And if you’re a gamer, you’ll want to grab some of these squeezy Super Mario stress balls.

Actually, the only one that’s really a ball is the Boo ghost, though the Koopa shell is round enough to sorta pass as a ball too. But the Super Mushroom isn’t a ball, nor is the Question Mark block, which is definitively a cube. Regardless of their shapes, these things look like a fun way to work out some stress and anxiety.

They’re available for $5.99 each over at Via Fever, with each design sold separately. Buy some today, and squeeze your way through the Mushroom Kingdom!

There’s something simple and beautiful about the Random stress ball by Srishti Singh. Aside from the tactile experience, it also has an interesting visual experience attached to it. On its own, the ball looks like an ordinary white sphere with small markings on it. When squeezed, these markings enlarge to become words.

The joy in using the stress ball is discovering new words while engaging with the toy, while the potential of the toy could extend to using words as well as the stress ball itself to advise/guide the user to relax and de-stress. Much like a de-stressing magic 8-ball!

Doctor Who Weeping Angel Stress Toy: Whatever You Do, Don’t Squeeze

Posted on by

Do stress balls actually work for you? Then don’t get Underground Toys’ officially licensed Weeping Angel Stress Toy. Because I think it works the other way around: when you squeeze it, you get stressed.

I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, but you can pre-order this abomination from Big Bad Toy Store for $25 (USD).
