Panic Pete is one funky stress ball that works which has been around for years! I remember shopping in cool little gift stores and always giving him a squeeze. Panic Pete is a stress ball that I would love to have, not only because he is filled with sand instead of foam but also because his eyes pop out, his nose pops out and his ears pop out. If I had a Panic Pete at my desk, I know I would imagine that he was whatever difficult customer I was speaking with and I was squeezing them to get them to shut up. He's not only a stress reliever, he's an anger management doll too!

Maybe you are like me and you want to squeeze something that feels different than the average stress ball. Stress Paul is what this little guy is called. With just a few squeezes of his soft and squishy purple body, you'll feel the stress melt right away – at least until the next time you get stressed out. The look of Paul is exactly how I feel whenever I get stressed out, so while I can't climb under my desk in the fetal position, at least I can squeeze someone in the fetal position to make my stress go away!
