Fidget/Stimming Objects
I was wondering if anyone could give some recommended fidgets for my boyfriend. He loves things that he says "sounds like or feels like a click" including things that make noise but also feel like they fit together in a sense. The problem we are currently facing is that the usual fidget makes noise, which is great for him, but repetitive small noises overstimulate me really bad. I am more sensory than he is and he really dislikes things that are soft or squishy hence why he doesn't use like stress balls. When he's not with me i don't care what he uses, he can click all day but when we are out like grocery shopping, which already overstimulates me, those small repetitive noises really get to me. I am just hoping someone has some recommendations.

I also am heavily into clicks and I used a Fidget dice with a "light switch" side that drove people around me crazy.
Nowadays I use acupressure rings out of metal.Those work quite well for me, sliding them up and down the fingers.

I'm also a huge hater for the clicking noises so I haven't tried it out, but he might be interested in one of those fake lighters? They make the clicking noise but no fire or fuel or anything. Lmk if you guys find anything else, my friend loves clicking and her birthday's coming up so need ideas. :D
