What is a fidget spinner and where can you get it?

It’s almost summer, which means it’s time to get in on the ground floor of this year’s hottest toy.

Last summer saw the rise of Pokemon Go, the hottest trend among all the cool folk. This year it appears that we might have already identified the gadget that will get us up off the couch and out into the sun.

Fidget Spinners are the hottest new toy that every kid wants and chances are you should probably invest in one too. Right now is the slow burn before the explosion of interest in these things so pay attention to make sure you don’t miss out.

Here’s what Money said about Fidget Spinners (which I’m almost positive needs to be capitalized but who knows):

For the uninitiated, a fidget spinner is a gadget about the size of a drink coaster, with a bearing in the middle that allows it to spin. They’re generally made of metal or plastic and feature two or three prongs that blur, entrancingly, as they twirl.

Kids can play with them as a means of entertaining themselves while adults can use them as a focusing tool and anxiety reliever.

Where can I buy a Fidget Spinner?

Amazon is the best place to buy one — as is the case for most things these days. If you have Amazon Prime you can have one to your door in two days or less depending on where the warehouse is.

If you can’t find one on Amazon, eBay and other online retailers are a great place to go to.
