Fidget spinners, ranked by design
In this strange new world, there are those who fidget spin and there are those who wish this toy trend would run its course already, oh my god.
For those in the former group, a boring fidget spinner will not do. Lucky for them, there are hundreds of options on Amazon boasting impressive spin times and various claims of health and well-being benefits.
But really, all that matters is the design. Here's 35 of our favorites.
