Fidget spinners, in case you don’t know, are handheld toys that you can flick or twirl with your fingers – and have become the biggest things to hit the playground since last years’ bottle-flipping craze, with sales running into the millions. Why?

Social media is awash with owners performing all kinds of nifty tricks with them too – and makers claim that fidget spinners can help you focus, while also reducing anxiety, in much the same way that fiddling with a pen or stress ball does.
We’ve explained what a fidget spinner is below (in case you don’t know), as well as shown you the latest fidget spinner prices. It’s easy to pick up a cheap fidget spinner, so read on!
So what is a fidget spinner?
It’s a palm-sized device, a bit like a tiny rimless wheel, with arms (or spokes) that radiate out from a central hub containing metal or ceramic bearings. Since each arm has a weight at the end, flicking or spinning the gadget can keep it twirling for minutes at a time.
Some devices also come with additional hubs at the end of each arm giving you additional ways to play – or may contain LED lights or even miniature speakers that you can pair with your smartphone over Bluetooth.
How to buy the best fidget spinner for you ? Malls, China markets, small mobile stores & online shops like Souq, Amazon, Ebay & Aliexpress.
