Fidget Spinner, the latest, most popular, sold-out gadget

The climb to popularity of Fidget Spinners is reaching its peak right now, and many people are asking themselves why they are such a success.

This curious desirable contraption is a small three-pronged spinner with a very simple operating mechanism: hold the central body between two fingers, push one of the prongs towards the left or right and the Fidget Spinner quickly spins around its own axis fitted with ball bearings. This is a very simple, winning idea. Fidget spinners have already been associated with remedial properties, from reducing stress levels to controlling ADHD, and even though we are prepared to believe that all this is true, the secret behind their success may have an even more obvious explanation: Fidget Spinners fight boredom, keeping your hands occupied and requiring no cognitive effort. What’s more, for the more demanding fan, they can also turn into a more challenging pastime; just look at some of the videos on YouTube where fidget spinner enthusiasts improve their skills with virtuous spins, leaps and quick finger switches.

Although they reached their peak in popularity in 2017, Fidget Spinners (also referred to as Hand Spinners) were created in the United States more than twenty years ago. Thanks to this invention, their creator Catherine Hettinger would today be in the Guinness Book of millionaires if she had held onto the property rights to the patent for a few more years. Indeed, legend would have it that when faced with yet another 400-dollar patent renewal fee, drowned in financial problems and frustrated by years of failed attempts, she gave up the right to the patent, allowing the market to reap the rewards just a few years later.

The first to see the potential of this object was Forbes which in late 2016 voted it among the best office pastimes in 2017. This was truly a far-sighted forecast if you think that today, this gadget is highly sought-after, so much so that manufacturers barely manage to keep up with the huge demand flooding in from the various sales channels.

In Italy alone, in the on-line sales ranking regarding gadgets and accessories, the various types of Fidget Spinners occupy the top 32 positions.

So why not also offer it as a customised corporate gadget, whose anti-stress function is well-suited to office life and all office settings! It is a fun, stress-free gift, suitable for all ages but most of all, it is difficult to find and will therefore be all the more appreciated by its recipient! In the Maikii catalogue, the Fidget Spinner is available in 6 different colours and it can be customised with CMYK printed logos and graphics. For urgent orders, the ready-for-delivery version is also available, delivered without customisation in just 48 hours and customised in 72 hours, with a minimum order quantity of just 50 units.

At the end of the day, the success of the Fidget Spinner is well deserved, try it to believe it!
