The Gump, reinvented as a ring.
Take everything that makes the Speks Gump so hard to put down — the velvety soft shell, the slow gooey memory gel inside — and punch a hole through the middle. That hole changes everything. A Loop can be squeezed like a ball, but it can also be stretched, twisted, folded in half and hooked over a finger, which gives your hands far more to do.
If a standard stress ball has never quite held your attention, this is the one to try. The ring shape means there's always an edge to pinch and a gap to pull against, and the gel takes its time oozing back into a perfect circle afterwards — which is somehow the most satisfying part. It's quiet, mess-free and small enough to live permanently next to a keyboard.
Choose from six translucent colours: Dew, Sea Glass, Moon Jelly, Algae, Reef and Mist. They look rather good lined up on a desk, and at this price people rarely stop at one. Come and have a squeeze in the Canterbury shop before you pick your colour — the Loop is one of those things you have to feel to understand.
Recommended for ages 14+. WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS. SMALL PARTS — CHOKING HAZARD.

FAQ
Is this a genuine Speks product?
Yes — Wrapped! is an official stockist.
What age is it suitable for?
We recommend it for ages 14 and up. It's a stress-relief tool rather than a toy, and the packaging carries a warning that it isn't suitable for children under 3 due to small parts.
How is this different from the standard Gump?
Same gel and same soft shell, different shape. The Original is a solid ball; the Loop is a ring, so you can stretch and twist it as well as squeeze it. Fidgeters tend to have a strong preference one way or the other.
Can I wear it on my finger?
It'll slip over a finger happily enough, but it's a fidget toy rather than jewellery — don't force it onto a finger it doesn't fit, and don't leave it on.
What's inside it?
A soft maltose memory gel, sealed inside a flexible TPR shell.
Can I wash it?
Wipe it clean. If the surface goes sticky over time: soap and water, dry it completely, then a light dusting of cornflour brings the velvety feel back.
Is it a good gift?
One of our best small gifts — a stocking filler, Secret Santa or desk-treat that genuinely gets used.
Safety
Recommended for ages 14+.
WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS. SMALL PARTS — CHOKING HAZARD.
- This is a stress-relief and sensory tool rather than a children's toy. We recommend it for ages 14 and over; younger users should be supervised by an adult.
- Not for anyone who may bite, chew or suck it. The gel contents are not for ingestion.
- Check it before each use. If the outer shell leaks, splits or ruptures, stop using it and dispose of it immediately.
- Avoid very aggressive stretching, and keep away from sharp objects, pet teeth and direct heat.
- Don't stretch it onto a finger tightly enough to restrict circulation, and never pull it over the wrist or neck.
- Squishy gel toys don't last forever — lifespan depends on how hard it's used.
- Keep packaging away from children.
