About

Gidgets were designed and engineered in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, by a husband and wife with five kids. We created Gyre & Gimble for kids who focus better when they fidget. Sensory toys are known to help kids focus, but few are practical for school, where hands are busy holding pencils and distractions are frowned on.

At Gyre & Gimble we believe that improving a child's school day eventually improves the world. To increase our reach, we give a portion of our company's earnings to nonprofit organizations that nurture education, especially in developing countries. 

Meet the Founders

Lia and Ed each feel lucky to have met someone as weird as themselves. They live in the great state of Utah and enjoy books, movies, hiking, camping with their kids, working in the yard, and making plans to remodel their very peculiar old house.
