Indie Makers & Small Studios

Desk Toys & Fidgets
A Connecticut artist who has been making wooden kinetic sculptures since 1975, wound by hand and running for hours on stored spring energy. Each design is a numbered limited edition.
The official home of the Rubik's Cube and its family of twisty puzzles, with solution guides for each size. Still the most recognisable desk object in the category by a wide margin.
Weird Tech & Useless Gadgets

Flushable wipes marketed with relentless bathroom humour, started from an apartment and now assembled in the USA at enormous volume. The branding is the product's main novelty.
A monthly mystery-puzzle box that sends a new country's culture and history wrapped around a cooperative case to solve. It plays solo or as a team and runs on a subscription.
A monthly subscription for LEGO-compatible builds and brick accessories, including custom kits and lighting. Subscribers can follow a themed city that grows month by month.

A monthly box of Japanese candy, snacks and drinks shipped from Tokyo, heavy on limited-edition and seasonal flavours that do not reach Western shelves. Ships worldwide.
A Portland, Oregon greeting card company, design studio and working letterpress print shop. Cards are printed on their own presses and lean warm rather than crude.
