Autistic Infinity Symbol Stress Ball/Stimtoy (SALE)
From September, Handmade Hearts is dumping inventory so I can (a) get more sales at a crucial moment in my life and (b) transition into a new phase. Below, you'll see the pricing breakdown for the value of this item. By choice, I'm lowering the cost to 20€ ($22.11) until everything worth more than that has been purchased. Thank you for your patronage!
Item: These egg-shaped, egg-sized stress balls were crocheted with 100% cotton yarn and each contain a combination of polyester pillow stuffing and plastic beads*. They're great for discrete stimming, like squishing and fondling -- or not-so-discrete shaking around to feel the subtle weight shift from one end to the other.
Quirks: Anyone who likes a good stim toy can benefit from something like this, but the symbol here was inspired by the autistic community's use of the infinity sign to represent pride, diversity, and a rejection of the use of "missing piece" symbolism vis-à-vis Autism Speaks. This symbol is typically seen as rainbow or gold, and these stress balls were originally designed during the annual Autistic Creative Festival in April 2023.

- Shipping is by default tracked and insured. If you would like to forgo this protection, saving you 4€, contact me directly and I will create a custom listing. As I use standard shipping, DHL does not provide me with an initial shipping time estimate even when tracked. IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE: If you purchase an item big enough that it won't fit in my smallest boxes, you'll be ordering a box that can fit a lot of my items at once (because they're very squishy). If you order more than one item in one purchase, you only pay for shipping once. There are technical limitations and the website may charge you more; if so, I will either refund the difference or create a custom listing on request.
