As soon as they hit the shops they're gone, snapped up by both kids and adults keen to get the latest go-to toy.
Fidget Spinners are this generation's stressball. They come as a spinner - three bearings around a central bearing, all of which spin as a circle - or a cube with different buttons and wheels on each side.
The spinners are aimed at kids, the cubes at adults. They're intended to ease anxiety and improve concentration, and are quiet enough for children to get away with using in the classroom, albeit with a mildly annoying clicking noise, in the case of the cube.
But it's not just the anxious or distracted buying in: the odd objects have become Generation Z's latest craze, in the same vein as chatter rings, knuckle bones, hula hoops and Tamagotchis.
