I am married to a wonderful husband, have a beautiful daughter and two amazing labradors who are my baby boys. I also have an awesome mum who has helped me so much.

In August 2023 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma which is a form of cancer. I started my chemotherapy treatment in September and it has been hell but worth it in the end. While I was feeling really down I started playing with a fidget ring my husband brought me and thought wait a minute this has really helped me and the idea blew up from there. I haven't really been in full time work since before my daughter was born, due to having a rough pregnancy followed by suffering from post/perinatal anxiety, depression and OCD. Then just as I felt I was able to start looking for a new job (had to leave my last due to redundancy) I got the cancer diagnoses. I am also starting on a journey seeing if I have ADHD or Autism as I have a large number of symptoms.  

My plan for this business is to help me have something to focus on, work wise and to help me recover my health by giving me something to do, as well as look after my daughter. Both my husband and mum will be supporting me and helping me where needed.

These products are designed to help people with anxiety, ADHD, depression, addictions, people who like to keep there hands busy and other mental health issues as well as helping people with dementia. The fidget rings helped me so much during my journey and continue to help me through so much. My hope to help others as well. I will also be picking a charity and donating either 5% or 10% of the profit from each sale.

I will use the money to get the products I need along with all the packaging, pay for a website domain, trademark my business, business cards, promotional cards, thank you cards, equipment and any other costs I may need to use for TikTok Shop, Amazon and Clapper shop, as well as paying for Shopify. I will also be getting some products to donate to the oncology ward I have been attending which my mum also attended, as they have advised me they often use fidgets to help with patients especially those with dementia, as it stops them pulling out wires etc and currently they only have a small amount. Also I will be doing the same for the paediatrics ward, as they have been fantastic when my daughter has been unwell, and I have been advised fidgets would help the same there.
