# Germ-Killing Stress Balls These Stress Balls are Perfect for Improving Concentration in the Office By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-balls References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/679469308/specter-oligospheres-reduce-stress-and-increase-pr) & [specterco](http://www.specterco.com/) 'Specter Oligospheres' are stress balls that have multiple functions and are also stylish decorations for office desks. Whether it is to relieve stress, have something to fiddle with or simply have a decoration that could work as a paperweight, these stress balls are an excellent addition to any office space. Designed by the young entrepreneur Liem Nguyen, the Specter Oligospheres are made from brass and when not in use are magnetically connected to a wooden base. The balls are twirled within the user's hand and work to create a meditative mood in the user, improve concentration, press on pressure points, relieve tension and naturally clean hands with germ-killing brass and copper. These stylish stress balls are perfect for people who work in offices who seek to find a non-distracting escape. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-function Desk Decor:** Opportunity for desk decor items that enhance productivity and offer additional functions. - **Magnetic Desk Accessories:** Opportunity for magnetic desk accessories that provide easy storage and organization solutions. - **Germ-killing Office Products:** Opportunity for office products that incorporate germ-killing properties for a healthier workspace. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** Opportunity for office supply companies to create unique products that enhance productivity and offer functionality beyond the traditional office supplies. - **Wellness:** Opportunity for wellness companies to create products specifically for the workplace that help relieve stress and improve mental health. - **Home Goods:** Opportunity for companies that create home decor items to provide desk accessories that are stylish and functional. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Soft Silicone Stress Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silicone-stress-ball.md) - [Memory Gel Stress Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-stress-ball.md) - [Volcanic Rock Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenlet-lava-ball.md) - [3D-Printed Stress Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lettuce-ball.md) - [Stress-Reducing Breathing Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathing-ball.md) - [Miniature Metal Fidget Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altdynamic-orbiform-mini.md) - [Meditative Desktop Concentration Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-zero.md) - [Malleable Stress Relief Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vent-wireless-mouse.md) - [Food-Shaped Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-pickle.md)
