8 Unique Candies to Add to Your Gift Shop

8 Unique Candies to Add to Your Gift Shop

How are candy sales going in your corner of the retail world? Candy earned retailers close to $37 billion in 2021 and is expected to boom into a nearly $45 billion industry by 2026. Even with increasing sales, many retailers experience sluggish periods. There are only so many packs of Starbursts or Skittles that consumers are willing to buy, right? The solution is to take your candy inventory in a new direction by adding at least a few unique candies.

We’re not talking about novelty candies that look great on the shelf but are hardly edible. The best unique candy options offer something of value for the retailer and the consumer. Some are so affordable and easy to grab off the register counter that shoppers find them difficult to pass by. Others are infused with caffeine or other ingredients that grab consumer interest beyond the sweet taste.

You can even stock unique candy gifts that your shoppers will want to give to people they love. To help you pick the best unique candy for your shop, we have eight suggestions from reputable manufacturers. They’re all readily available, easy to order, and will fit easily into a variety of retail shops.

Awake Caffeinated Caramel Chocolate Bars and Bites

How many caffeinated chocolate bars do you have in stock right now? If you’re like many small to medium candy retailers, the answer is none. That’s what makes thesecaffeinated caramel chocolate bars from Awake one of the best unique candies available today.

You can also purchase boxes ofbite-sized chocolate bars infused with caffeine if you want to tempt your shoppers with a quick energy fix that doesn’t cost as much as a full bar. The bars and bites are also available in other flavors, including:

Each caffeine-infused chocolate bite contains caffeine equivalent to half a cup of coffee. The bars pack even more punch, so get ready to see your exhausted customers grab one after the other.

Candy Club Cookie Dough Bites

Candy ClubCookie Dough Bites come in 6-ounce reusable jars and make excellent unique candy gifts. The bite-sized treats contain chewy, vanilla-flavored balls mixed with small chocolate chips and then dipped in milk chocolate. They’re the perfect surprise for anyone who loves cookie dough and chocolate-covered candies.

Cookie dough bites are sold in packs of six jars. They’re appealing to a variety of consumers, including those stocking up for parties and events or just for everyday enjoyment.

Salt Water Taffy

Don’t make your customers wait for a street festival or vacation to get theirSalt Water Taffy fix! Add a tub of premium-quality taffy to your counter and entice them with a touch of vacay in the midst of their everyday routine. One tub contains 225 pieces, so you can do a lot of sharing—and profiting—before it’s time to refill.

Salt Water Taffy is a great impulse buy that grabs the eye due to the colorful arrangement of pieces in a simple plastic tub. The container takes up little room on a shelf or counter, and you can easily swap it out for other tub candies if you want to try something new later.

Banana Split Candy Chews

Bring the ice cream shop experience to any retail outlet with a simple plastic tub ofBanana Split Candy Chews. They’re fast and easy to grab from any shelf or countertop, and you won’t sacrifice much space for the compact tub that contains 230 pieces of candy. Refill bags are available, so keeping the ice cream magic going is anything but time-consuming.

If you don’t already have at least a few small unique candies available in your shop, now is the time to remedy that problem. Many shoppers who make a fast stop to use the restroom, fill up their gas tank, or buy a cold drink will splurge on a small piece of candy even if they aren’t up for a full candy bar. Banana split chews are different from many other quick-grab candies, so they’re a great enticement for those impulse buys.

Old Fashioned Heavenly Butter Caramels

While we’re talking about unique candy options that are quick to grab, affordable, and enticing, let’s talk about theseOld Fashioned Heavenly Butter Caramels. They come 155 per tub and are made from fresh cream and then enriched with a buttery flavor. Each soft caramel chew is easily unwrapped and popped in the mouth for immediate satisfaction.

Caramels are a favorite for candy lovers young and old. They’re a classic that never gets boring, and these old-fashioned goodies will fit right into a wide variety of retail settings. From gift shops to elaborate candy stores, there’s always room for high-quality caramel that is purchased and savored one by one.

Sugar-Free Fruit Buttons

Candy isn’t off-limits for those who don’t want to consume sugar. A plastic tub ofSugar-Free Fruit Buttons is a great way to give everyone a sweet treat without interfering with dietary restrictions. Many parents also look for healthier goodies that their little ones can enjoy without a sugar spike and crash.

Each tub comes with 300 candies. Just fill it up and let it sit on a counter for those last-minute splurges in the checkout line. They’re one of the simplest and most affordable ways to expand your sweets collection while offering unique candies for those unable to indulge in sugar.

Zotz Fizzz Power Candy

Let’s jump back to the 60s with a unique candy bedazzled with a fun, fizzy center.Zotz Fizzz Power Candy comes in a tub with 300 pieces of hard candy. Each piece is filled with powder that mixes with saliva when chewed. That mixture is like a science experiment exploding in the mouth with flavor. There are 7 flavors in every tub, and the colorful wrappers grab the eye when sitting on a counter or by the register.

Small fizzing candies are perfect for a wide variety of retail settings, including snack bars at events attended by families. They’re also some of the most affordable candy options, so they encourage small unintended purchases that add up in terms of profit.

Lindt Lindor Truffles Countertop Display

If you want to move beyond small tubs of candy or caffeinated chocolate bars, consider dedicating some counter space to aLindt Lindor truffle display. The display is free from Kelli’s when you purchase at least three boxes ofLindt Lindor truffles, which is exactly what you need to set up the display.

Truffles come in a variety of flavors, including:

  •   Caramel milk chocolate
  •   Coconut milk chocolate
  •   Dark chocolate
  •   Double chocolate
  •   Milk chocolate sea salt
  •   Peppermint cookie
  •   Peppermint white chocolate
  •  

These unique candies are the perfect enticement for adults who just want a touch of something sweet. Chocolate lovers who appreciate quality will recognize the Lindt Lindor brand and reach for their favorite flavor when placed conveniently in their path.

Do you see a unique candy option that would fit into your retail environment? Select one or two to give your inventory a touch of novelty that your customers just can’t resist.

Your Go-To Birthday Party Supplies List

Your Go-To Birthday Party Supplies List

There are your classic birthday parties thrown by parents in the backyards;  Then there are your picturesque parties with everything planned months in advance down to the most minuscule detail. You’ve seen it…  the paper straws and cake frosting all follow the same color scheme, the balloon sculptures are both whimsical and tasteful,  AND the pictures. The pictures certainly make all that planning worth it. To help you sell to such planners, whether they have a knack for decorating or decidedly not, here are the best products to add to your birthday party supplies list.

Candy Jars

Taking the time to create visually pleasing, organized candy jars can be a huge time waste. To help customers avoid that, stock up on ready-made options that still have that homemade feel. Options like this Country Candy Jar make party tables look inviting and coordinated.

The Right Tunes

Music sets the mood for all parties, whether we’re talking about a highbrow cocktail party or a kids’ birthday party. Not only are party hosts looking to find the right playlist, but they need a tool to help the music reach the ears of everyone in the event. That’s a reason to offer traditional speakers, or better yet bluetooth speakers that make broadcasting playlists stored on a phone easier.

Candles

No birthday party budget list is complete without candles!  The warm glow of candles provides warmth and a design element to any party. Ranging in various colors and designs, these multi-purpose party staples are a must have for gift shops. Not only do candles provide ambiance, but they are fragrantful, known for their stress reducing properties  and are great for lighting. Add candles to your birthday party supplies list.

Activities

Many party planners want games to play or something to do to keep guests busy at their events. One good option for a kid’s party is a coloring station. Make sure you’re selling markers or colored pencils. Additionally, large coloring pages and even pages from adult coloring books are good additions to this activity station.

Take Home Gifts

The best birthday parties make sure their guests go home with a bit of swag to help them remember the celebration. Offer your customers things like these unicorn bracelet party favors,or loose beads so that guests can make their own favors. Anything that takes time and can be personalized makes kids feel catered to (and gives adults a minute or two to breathe during the happy chaos). Ensure your birthday party budget list includes a take home gift allowance  to help customers make a lasting impression on their guests.

Multipurpose Containers

Depending on where a birthday party is held, organizing gifts and activities is vital for party planning. Containers, such as these glass cubes, can be filled with balls, favor bags, treats, masks, party hats, you name it! Also, your customers can fill these with ice and drink options for their company. Having multipurpose items on hand means selling to various interest groups.

Themed Fun

Maybe a child wants to have a tea party-themed birthday, or one where Baby Shark is prominent. Having themed packs makes achieving this all the easier. Make sure your customers can purchase kits and sets that can be converted into stations where kids can use their imaginations. Stock your store with the newest toy displays to catch the eyes of every  birthday boy and girl. At Kelli’s, there’s something here for every kid, including dinosaur fossil building sets and Lego pop-up play scenes.

Utensils

Of course, when it comes to celebrations, utensils are one of the staples. Forks, spoons, and plastic knives are a must when purchasing kids party supplies. Have them ready so your bulk buyers can access them easily.

Chalkboards

What better way to show off an event than a celebratory chalkboard poster! Showcase all the different ways to use a chalkboard or whiteboard at a celebration.  Buy all shapes and sizes of chalkboards from us, including this conveniently framed chalkboard with an easy-carry handle.

Snacks

Plenty of birthday parties thrown for children are thrown in gymnastics gyms, bounce houses, and trampoline parks. All that play requires energy, meaning calories, meaning snacks! Keep nibbles such as chips, popcorn, cookies and additional kids party supplies on the shelves at your gift shop or supply  store. Kelli’s offers a large selection of wholesale snacks and  goodies.

A Backdrop

Pics, or it didn’t happen! Parents want to take pictures of their kids having a good time. Therefore, having a photo backdrop with balloons at birthday parties is becoming more and more common. Whether it’s a scene showing fairy tale princesses or one covered in posed superheroes, many party planners want a designated place where they can take social media-worthy photos. Stock up on wholesale balloons to help turn your customers'  vision into a reality.

Your One-Stop Shop

Now that you know where to shop for kids party supplies, shop Kelli’s for all your wholesale needs. Help your customers throw the best parties and keep them coming back for years to come.

Scrapbooking DIY Ideas

To encourage your customers to gift scrapbooking materials – or to start scrapbooking themselves – set up your craft area with some themed scrapbook examples. While you don’t need a special occasion to start scrapbooking, people looking for an unusual gift will be drawn to this unique and personalized option.

All Things Baby

If your customers are welcoming the newest addition to their family, celebrating baptisms or first birthdays, a baby themed scrapbook is bound to catch their eye.

Cut-out hearts from colored and metallic papers surrounding a movie or a theme park ticket would definitely keep precious memories alive for those celebrating their anniversary.

Travel Adventure With Best Friends

Your buyers usually enjoy a road trip from time to time. What better way for them to remember this getaway than a travel-themed scrapbook? Cover Polaroid photos with dried leaves and a destination map for that on-the-go vibe.

Guide to Buying Wholesale Trendy Jewelry

Guide to Buying Wholesale Trendy Jewelry

What better way to accessorize your outfit than with jewelry? Here at Kelli’s, we have jewelry to suit any wardrobe. With our wide selection of high-quality boutique collections and wholesale trendy jewelry pieces for every budget, your customers will certainly find something that would match their personal needs or as an ideal present for their loved ones! We’ll help you familiarize yourself with the different materials, types, and examples of various jewelry pieces.

Determining Which Material to Shop For

Brass

Because brass is one of the most common metals used for making jewelry, it is often mistaken as fake gold. Brass is an alloy made of zinc and copper, with a yellow or white tone. It may be because of its appearance and color that make people think it is made of gold.

However, there are real and fake brass pieces and both feel lighter than real gold jewelry. Authentic brass jewelry pieces may change color or stain because of the usual wear and tear, while fake brass jewelry corrodes and rusts. 

Gold

Jewelry items made of pure gold are usually expensive and rare in today’s market. Because of its excellent quality and appearance, gold is often associated with social status and luxury! 

Gold-filled jewelry is rated on the gold-karat rating. Pure gold, at 24 karats, is soft and pliable and needs to be combined with other metals to make it harder and avoid deformity. When gold is plated with rhodium, it gets a white shine and is known as white gold. On the other hand, gold plating or electroplating, also called gold-finish, is used to cover a different type of metal with a thin layer of gold. This makes the jewelry look polished, shinier, and more luxurious.

You may want to check out some of our wholesale trendy  jewelry, in particular, the 18K Gold Finish Cross and Locket Necklace. Sold in increments of 3, it has two charms used as pendants - a cross and a locket, an inspirational gift from Alexa’s Angels! It has a 16” chain with a 2” extender, the perfect length for daily wear or special occasions. 

Platinum and Titanium

The most expensive, rarest metal used for jewelry making is platinum. Do you want to know why? Because platinum is resistant to rust, tarnishing, and corrosion. Since platinum is the most durable, it may be one of the reasons why it is used to make wedding rings. Jewelry made from platinum is also the least likely to create allergic reactions.

Titanium is also durable like platinum, but makes lighter pieces of jewelry. Titanium jewelry is sweat-proof, heatproof, and more comfortable to wear. These jewelry pieces make them suitable for daily use because of their hypoallergenic properties.

Rose Gold

One of the latest wholesale jewelry trends today is jewelry pieces made up of rose gold. And yes, rose gold contains real gold! It is made of an alloy blend of yellow gold, copper, and silver, which gives it the lovely pink or champagne pink appearance. Rose gold is often linked to feminine and romantic characteristics and is a much softer take on gold’s yellow color.

A great example of this rose gold jewelry is our Amanda Blu Inside Out Hoop Earrings. They come in increments of 2 and feature crystals lined up in the hoop of the earrings. These hoop earrings have a stud closure at the back, and a silicone closure with a rose gold plug.

Silver

The types of silver used in jewelry can be confusing. Silver is either silver-plated or sterling silver. Sterling silver is mostly pure silver with less than 10% other metal components, making it more expensive but more durable than silver-plated. On the other hand, silver-plated jewelry pieces are made of a different metal, covered with silver. If the plating is too thin, it will tend to chip quickly due to wear and tear. But with careful selection, you can find jewelry items with thick silver coverage and a metal base that can withstand daily usage. That way you will not splurge on sterling silver but still, get higher quality silver.

Want to give your customers excellent quality but remain on a silver jewelry budget? Check out our Amanda Blu Silver Braided Rings, available in various sizes. They are sold in increments of 2 and come with crystal accents all around. These are perfect for wearing alone or for a more fashion-forward feel. You can stack them or wear them with other rings!

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel jewelry is a cheaper alternative for titanium but is heavier. It has nickel and iron that makes people allergic to it at times. Stainless steel jewelry pieces come with rhodium plating to preserve their shine and make them last longer.  

Jewelry Stones Your Customers are Sure to Love

Precious Stones

Diamond is the most popular and most expensive gemstone used in jewelry-making. The cost of each diamond depends on its cut, clarity, and color. Diamonds are often worn for special occasions and add elegance, attractiveness, and appeal to the wearer.

Semi-Precious Stones

And because not everyone can afford diamonds, other stones can be used to adorn jewelry pieces such as semi-precious stones. Semi-precious stones usually have a significant meaning for the wearer and are ideal for daily use.  Examples of semi-precious stones are the amethyst for spiritual protection and Jade for soothing the soul. 

If you are looking for wholesale trendy jewelry items for your gift shop, you can add this Adjustable Heart Bracelet. It comes with semi-precious stones and a heart pendant complete with seven strands of glass beads, iron, and pearls that will brighten the day of each wearer. Plus, these cute bracelets fit most wrist sizes and are sold in artisan detailed gift boxes. 

Birthstones

These stones represent the month when you were born. Birthstones are a fun way to customize jewelry without the need to engrave the recipient’s name. Ruby and sapphire are some of the most common birthstones used in jewelry-making.

Add these Birthstone Rosaries to your boutique collection of wholesale jewelry! They are symbols of faith that come in different colors depending on the birth month. What’s perfect is that these best-sellers are sold in a display box of 12 pieces, representing each month of the year. Encourage your customers to gift these assorted design 16-inch rosaries for baptism, first communion, birthday, or graduation! 

Man-made Stones

Another popular wholesale jewelry trend is man-made stones. Because diamonds are not always affordable, most people prefer cubic zirconia as an alternative. Their brilliance and sparkle are almost the same as the diamond, but fit the budget and will not break the bank! 

Ideal for your buyers’ special events, our Julia Harper Silver Round Cubic Zirconia Earrings can complete any outfit worn at any celebration! These earrings are also nickel-free and hypoallergenic, with a back lever closure. They are sold in increments of 3 pieces of peggable cards for easy display.

Another example is the Swarovski stone. These famous laboratory stones were made in the 1800s by Daniel Swarovski. What better way to celebrate a little girl’s first birthday or baptism than with our Pink Swarovski Pearl Baby Bracelet? A baby’s first bracelet is as special as this bracelet that fits 0-12 month infants and comes with an adjustable chain – perfect for a growing baby. They come in increments of 2, already packed in a gift box, and pegged for easy merchandising.  All handmade in the USA!

Common Wholesale Trendy Jewelry Choices

Bracelets

A popular type of bracelet is the bangle which can be worn in layers or one piece at a time. If you want to give wearing options to your customers, be sure to purchase our 5-Piece Rhinestones Bangle Bracelets. They come in various color options to match each personality and are sold in increments of 4 with peggable packaging. One size fits all!

Adjustable bracelets are also trending nowadays. With our Round Disc Pull-Cord Bracelet in Rose Gold, you can provide an excellent adjustable bracelet option to your consumers.

Get Well Soon Gift Ideas for Kids

Get Well Soon Gift Ideas for Kids

When a child you love is going through a tough time when it comes to their health, be it a broken bone, surgery, or hospitalization, you’ll probably want to do whatever you can to make them feel better. A thoughtful gift is a great way to show that someone you love that you are thinking of them. Here’s a curated list of the best get well soon gift ideas for the special young people in your life.

Get Well Soon Messages

While a well-worded, “proper” message is usually best kept for adults, kids can also enjoy a get well soon message. Cards for kids can be colorful, silly, and extra exciting. Think pop-up cards, cards with sounds, or cards with feathers and fun textures. 

You can write them a silly poem to make them laugh, or include a picture of something that they love, like you pulling a silly face, your dog, or their favorite movie/TV show character.

Balloons for Every Occasion

Get well gifts for kids don’t just have to come in the form of a card – after all, there are balloons for every occasion! Kids love balloons, and abig, shiny balloon with a sweet message can be just the thing to brighten up their day. It lets them know that you’re thinking of them as well as being something that they can play with. 

You could also get a balloon that lets them know that they’reone tough cookie, one that has a cutebulldog, or one that’s got asmiley face to cheer up their room.

A Stuffed Friend

Perhaps one of the best get well gifts for kids is a stuffed toy. This can be anything from ateddy bear who looks like he’s had a visit to the hospital himself, to a littlebeanie bear that has ‘get well soon’ written on him. For something a little different, you could even get them agorilla,tiger, or amonkey!

Another sweet idea is a stuffed friend that doubles as an activity. You could get them an animal that’sdesigned to be autographed - this way, they have something to focus on that isn’t their health. If they’re in a hospital, then they could get all of the nurses and doctors that have helped them to sign their stuffed toy, and if not, they could get their neighbors, friends, classmates, teachers, or anyone they’d like to sign it. 

And once they’ve done that, their new stuffed friend will forever serve as a reminder that even when they go through hard times, they are never alone.

Visit Them

You might not want to or be able to get your loved one a gift, but this isn’t a problem! The best and most valuable gift will always be your time. Go see them and spend some real, quality time with them. Have genuine conversations and bond with them, whether that’s by playing a board game, a game of cards, or even a game on their tablet. You could also go for a walk together or even see a movie together. 

In some cases, it’s not possible to pay them a physical visit. That’s okay, because video chatting or a phone call can work out great too. Sometimes, all it takes is seeing or hearing a loved one to feel comforted. 

A Visit From a Furry Friend

Get well gifts for kids don’t have to cost you. You might not be able to get a stuffed toy or fancy card, but if you’ve got a pet or know someone who does, a great idea that doesn’t cost much is bringing their pet around. It doesn’t have to be a long visit, but everybody loves pets – especially kids! 

A visit from an animal can bring so much light into the child’s day, and make them forget all about what’s going on in their life at that moment. Just check with their caregivers and the health providers that are looking after the child that this visit will be okay with them, and of course if the child has any allergies to the pet beforehand.

Their Favorite Food

If your loved one is in hospital or even stuck at home, the food can get boring, repetitive, and unexciting. Try and see if you can find out what their favorite food is, and then you can either order it and get it delivered to them, get it and deliver it yourself, or (best of all) make it just for them. 

There’s nothing quite like having your favorite meal to chase the blues away, especially when you know that someone has poured all of their time, love, and effort into making it for you. 

Books and Magazines

Kids these days might be preoccupied with getting their entertainment from screens, but if tempted with the right material, they’re sure to want to read a good book or magazine. Try and find out what they like to read or what shows they like to watch, and then find either something that’s been on their to-read list, or something that you think they would like based on what they like to watch/read.

Reading will help them pass the time, and as a little bonus, you can even add a cool bookmark to make the experience sweeter! While there certainly are balloons for every occasion, books can be treasured again and again and again. 

Personal Care Items

One of the less commonly given get well soon gifts for kids is personal care items, because they’re usually more geared towards adults. Don’t be discouraged though, as there are plenty of personal care items that you can get for kids that can make their daily routines just a little more enjoyable!

Some of the best options are shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, sunscreen, and toothpaste. There are plenty of companies that do interesting scents, flavors, and themes, often in collaboration with entertainment corporations so you can get a toothpaste that has your loved one’s favorite superhero or Disney princess on it!

Similar to a book, gifts like these will bring joy on more than one occasion, and punctuate an otherwise boring daily routine. 

Comfy Items

Get well soon gift ideas for kids don’t always have to be fun or exciting. Sometimes they can be comforting too. If your loved one is spending a lot of time sitting or lying down, they might enjoy a gift that can be used to do that.

Some great examples are blankets, socks, pillows, and bolsters. These can be animal-shaped, have their favorite TV/movie character, or be their favorite color. This way, they can have a more comfortable time relaxing and recuperating while also being reminded that someone who loves them is thinking about them.

Flowers/Plants

And last but by no means least on our list of get well soon gift ideas, flowers and plants. These are such a great gift idea because they’re beautiful, have health benefits, and can be the next best thing after a pet. The child can look after them and feel responsible for them while also admiring how they look. They’ll also probably smile whenever they see their plant friend and think of you!

Another awesome thing about plants is that they come in all sizes, so you can get one that’s as small as their palm or as big as they are. They come in all sorts of colors too. You can give them all kinds of wacky names, or have a game to come up with the best name for the plant.

And if you think that a live plant might not be a great fit, then you could also try this get well soondaisy, that sways to the song You Are My Sunshine. 

Conclusion

Here at Kelli’s Gifts, we don’t just have balloons for every occasion, but a huge range of gifts as well. We have something for every context and unique person in your life.

The Ultimate Guide to Fidget Toys for Kids - Kelli's Gift Shop Suppliers

The Ultimate Guide to Fidget Toys for Kids

What are fidget toys?

Fidget toys, sometimes called sensory fiddle toys, are small objects that can alleviate an individual’s fidgeting. Fidgeting is characterized by small movements brought about by uneasiness, nervousness, anxiety, and restlessness. Most fidgeting is done by hands – tapping on the table and moving an object around – and is usually done when bored or showing discomfort. Fidget toys or sensory toys are often used by clasping in the hands and provide sensation that redirects one’s attention or has a calming effect.

What are fidget toys used for?

Fidget toys are often used to relax and balance out children’s senses so they can be more productive or to help them stay still. Instead of fidgeting with household items, some of which can be dangerous (scissors or electrical items, for instance), it is best to have fidget toys available. Fidget toys are created to answer sensory needs with touching, popping, squeezing, climbing, pressure, or even visual stimulation! Children become more focused when given a fidget toy because their attention is centered on completing the task at hand. With the repetitive tasks a fidget toy provides, some children are calmer, and others even go to sleep.

Parents of children with developmental disorders like ADHD or autism, or individuals with PTSD, turn to fidget toys as recommended by occupational therapists and pediatricians, to help deal with associated behaviors like inattention, irritability, and distractibility, or difficulties like a lack of focus and sleep. The toys help them control and manage stress and strong emotions, helping them focus on school, go outdoors, and relate well with others.

What should I look for in fidget toys?

Fidget toys tend to be specific and choosing the right one may depend on what parents or individuals need. Here at Kelli’s, we have a range of fun fidget toys you can offer to your customers that are comforting, durable, or discreet.

Purpose

It is important to know what the fidget toy is trying to achieve. It should be in line with what parents are trying to accomplish. What is the child’s sensory need? What is the problem that needs to be solved? If the fidget toy’s purpose is to calm and soothe, is this what would help the child? Many parents look for fidget toys on the advice of a doctor, and so stocking a variety of different fidget toys will help your customer find one that is in line with the advice they have received. Check out Kelli’s wholesale fidget toys collection to discover the different types of fun fidget toys available.

Relaxing Colors

When choosing fidget toys, the colors should also be relaxing in order to promote focus and attention. Some fidget toys even change color, which helps extend the attention they get. Very bright colors may mean some children will focus on the visual aspect of the toy.

Need a multicolored fidget toy? Our What’Zit Wood Puzzle is a set of 6 bright wooden blocks held by a string that children will love fidgeting with! They come in 24-unit displays and customers can be encouraged to buy two or more to link together, making a larger puzzle. Painted in bold colors with non-toxic paint, this toy is suitable for ages 3 and up.

Interesting texture and sounds

For children who are bored easily or cannot stay still, offer appealing fidget toys that heighten their sense of touch and hearing. Children love pulling or pushing, twisting, and turning things, keeping their hands busy. Other kids respond well to the calming effect of white noise or background sounds, which can cover overwhelming silence and help them go to sleep.

Check out the squeezable, stretchable Twiddle Squish N’ Stretch Textured Ultimate Sensory Toy. These fidget toys come in a set of three different colors and textures, and can stretch up to 5 feet! We also have the fun Push and Pop Play Pad Sensory Toy that is perfect for kids on the go. Its pleasing popping sound is not too loud, and its design and shape can also help kids practice motor skills. Both of these toys are ready for wholesale purchase in 12 and 5 sets, respectively.

Sturdy

Because fidget toys must absorb the extent of their owners’ play, they should be durable and stable. Customers will be looking for an item that is made of strong material and designed to last.

Why not try a 12-piece set of our Nee Doh - the Groovy Glob Stress Ball? These squeezable balls are strong enough to handle the children’s pulling and crushing. Their jelly-like substance is made up of non-toxic compounds and the glob itself is hypoallergenic, cleaned easily, and BPA-, phthalate- and latex-free!

Low visibility

In a classroom setting, kids should not be distracted by a fidget toy another child is using. These toys need to be quiet and fit nicely inside the children’s hands so they (along with their company or class) can focus on other tasks. The fidget toy should not be a source of unnecessary noise or extra movement when its purpose would be served with less.

Try our Tie-Dye Hand Snapper Fidget Toy. This comes in 36 pieces for a display unit, and it is available in assorted prints. Your customers will definitely appreciate this sensory gadget - it fits perfectly inside the palm, and helps to relieve stress and anxiety, which improves concentration. Pressing the suction cups at the same time helps improve wrist and hand movement, and finger flexibility and strength.

What are popular types of fidget toys?

Stress balls

One of the most popular fidget toys – and not just for kids – are stress balls. These are squeezable toys about the size of the hand. They are made of soft material, like silicone, and contain fluid or gel-like liquid inside. They can be compressed and kneaded without breaking, and are usually used to relieve anxiety or tension. They come in different colors, like our Squish Attack Stress Balloon. This stretchable, kneadable, pokable balloon-shaped stress ball can also be tossed and squashed – your customers will have fun for hours!

Spinners

A trendy, super-cool toy for most kids is the fidget spinner. Also used with children with developmental disorders, these toys are appropriate for kids who love staring at moving objects. They’ll have fun day-in-and-out, for sure! Great for soothing and calming highly active children, we offer the Push Pop Spinner Fidget Toy. It will be your customers’ favorite spinner, with a push bubble pop-it in the middle for extra entertainment!

Clay or putty

Putty is a paste from basic household ingredients like flour, water, and food coloring, but its texture became the basis for a toy for children to develop motor skills, or for hand therapy. Putty can also be a good stress reliever while at home. The only downside of putty is that it can be a messy experience. But we have a solution to that: our popular Slimeez Stretchy Dough Ball can be kneaded, pulled, stretched, and poked in the same way as clay or putty, without the mess. It comes in assorted fun colors and is sold in a set of 12. It is suitable for children aged four and up.

Chains and Puzzles

Chain or puzzle fidgets are solved by pushing or pulling parts together or separately, and will fire your customers’ imagination! It is about visual stimulation rather than a sense of touch, as kids work on their construction and analytic skills. Pop and Play Tubes Sensory Toys are excellent tangle fidgets for your shoppers. Each set comprises three tubes kids can scrunch, twist, bend, and expand. The units also connect to each other, so if your customers purchase two or more, the possibilities are endless!

Soft Animal

Soft animal fidgets differ from plush or stuffed toys because the fidgets’ purpose is stress alleviation. They are like stress balls but shaped into the kids’ favorite animals. Try our Animolds Bubble Frog Keychain. Simply squeeze the frog and watch it imitate blowing a bubble! Both child and adult consumers will love these squishy frogs that are not only low-profile but also double as key chains, so they’re easy to take with you on the go. The silicone-like material makes it durable and perfect to hold inside the palm of the hand.
