General Gadgets, that you never thought helpful, but were anyway

[Never_falter2]

Which are the gadgets, that helped your spouse though one never would have thought so.
Would be cool to have a list.

In our case:
Fidget spinner
Chewing gum
and i am sure I could come up with more if it wasn't that late at night over here.

Thanks for the thread @ Never_falter
For me it is my old-timer Jack knife. I rattle it with what ever else is in my pocket. Have done that for years and didn't know why but it is calming for me

The cell phone "find a friend app"... like you were talking about in another thread @Never_falter. He can see I'm not kidnapped in a trunk somewhere, or stuck on the side of the road. It's not so much a "tracking" thing as it is a security thing for him. It gives him some peace of mind, and I tell him everywhere I go anyway. Anything that helps is A-OK with me.

A sharpening stone. It's calming for my guy to sharpen his knives or anything laying about. Be careful if you have to cut anything around here. ;)

Oh. And shoe polish.

I've noticed he does these things before work. I think it calms and centers his thoughts, emotions and feelings.
