stress balls
Palm-sized anxiety relief
Stress balls are small squeezable objects used to relieve tension, typically made of foam or gel-filled rubber.
Squeezing them repetitively is thought to release nervous energy and promote relaxation: She keeps a stress ball at her desk for long meetings.
The term also refers informally to testicles when someone is anxious: This deadline is killing my stress balls.
