Take a breath
Stress management that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Squishy, sensory and satisfying, the tools people keep coming back to.
A curated set of our favourite squishy and sensory tools, everything you need to squeeze, spin and unwind in one box.
Soft, slow-rise and oddly satisfying, a squishy sensory favourite for keeping restless hands busy.
Six tactile, sensory sides to click, glide and roll, discreet enough for any desk or meeting.
A smooth, pocket-sized pebble to rub when thoughts get loud, quietly grounding.
Hi, I'm Henry. I started The Stress Shop because I do my best thinking when my hands are busy. Give me a squishy to squeeze and my brain stops pacing the room and finally sits down.
The truth is, a lot of stress advice feels clinical, beige and faintly joyless, and that loses people before they've even begun. I wanted to make the friendly opposite. One honest promise, though (the psychologist in me insists): nothing here is a cure or a long-term fix. These are little in-the-moment tools for taking the edge off, catching your breath, and getting on with your day.
