I think most of us at one time or another had or were given a stress ball. It felt squishy and you could keep pumping your hand around it--or alternately throw it at your boss or annoying co-worker. It didn't hurt them (my boss was a very good catcher) but it did relieve stress! Well, now there is a better way. The folks at pinch me (registered trademark)have created a stress reliever that feels exactly like the play dough you used to love as a child-with a big difference-they have formulated stress relieving colors and scents into each 6 oz tin.
I decided that I wanted to experience "Earth". It arrived quickly and well wrapped. I could smell the aroma even before I took the top off. Off came the top. Now the one I received was a brownish color and the logo Pinch Me was stamped right into the dough. I can't download pics from my camera so Bobbie Anne helped me out-here is what it looks like before you start pinching it.
According to the site the aroma "Earth" "Rekindle the flame in campfires gone-by with the crisp fragrance of the outdoors. A rich, woodsy scent that envelops you with the sensation of the forest. EARTH: for the nature lover in you." To me it smells like Water Lily with a hint of musk. I LOVE the scent. It relaxed me even before I pinched it! The scent will linger on your skin for a bit so I would not suggest putting on perfume unless it has the same undertones. I am considering buying a couple more of these to use as room fresheners. I would love to be enveloped by this scent where ever I go in my home. There are 6 different aromas you can choose from they can be seen (and purchased) at this link.
You can find out lots more about this company and the person who created this by going to their website. and clicking on the tabs up top. And guess what!! We all love companies that give back-here's what Pinch Me does: "*Join us in our quest to reduce stress. Every container you purchase will pay for a soldier's half day stress management training with BootStrapUSA.com"

I still absolutely love play dough now lol, would love to give these a go.
I saw these on another site. Love the colors and that they are scented. I wouldn't get anything done! I would be having too much fun with my Pinch-me-therapy dough!
I am seeing these pop up everywhere, I'd love to try them.
I have never heard of these but I can definitely use something like this especially if it helps educe stress! Great suggestion!
I love this product to reduce stress, I would start with SPA then try Ocean. TFS.
I would really love to use this in order to reduce my stress levels, they are sky high:(
I learned it was a professionally developed, soft, pliable dough infused with calming aromatherapy to help one relax
What a neat product! I definitely want to try it. Entered the giveaway!
These sounds like a good product to use. I like that the containers are nice and small. Pop into my bag.
I think I would enjoy the Earth scent. I love the smell of a campfire
I could use a few bucket loads of Pinch Me! I love that it is scented too. That's really another great way to help relieve stress, by scent!
I've been so stressed out lately that I think I need to invest in one of these. Have never seen them before now. Will really have to check them out.
I learned that there are six formulas!...I'd love the Ocean scent!
there are 6 of them
What a great way to keep yourself busy when you need to fidget. The scents sound fabulous!
Interesting concept. There is something to be said about how therapeutic it is to play with dough. Sounds cool!
This looks like it would be useful and beneficial.
I think this is the perfect Christmas gift idea for the kids' teachers and the school secretary (not that I'm thinking of Christmas or anything ;) ).
I love this idea of therapy. I would love to try the Tropic one. It sounds amazing. This therapy dough would be perfect for me and my son as well. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't ever heard of this before. I think I would like to try the Earth smell. :)
I want to try the Tropics scent. I don't to get go on vacation often so this scent will take me to the perfect place.
Would love to try the tropics scent...this product looks really exotic and thanks for this giveaway,,,

I love the dough and the spa one sound like it would awesome.
my favorite scent is
Beach
Get mentally swept away to the seaside getaway you've been dreaming about. BEACH exudes the relaxing aroma of the sand, sun, and surf. No sunscreen required.
I would love to have the Spa and the Beach one.I've also learned that Every container you purchase will pay for a soldier's half day stress management training with BootStrapUSA.com,which I think is awesome
It should last for a hundred uses depending on how and where you use it. I think I would like either the earth or ocean scent.
I think I'd definitely want to win this in the 'Beach' scent, nothing to me is more peaceful than the ocean and all the encompasses the beach...this is so cool
I love that pinch me dough allows people to use all senses to relieve stress!
I would get both Beach and Men - a set for my parents - they are going through a rough time and could really benefit from this multi-sensory approach.
This dough actually looks really cool. I live with high anxiety and while it is under greater control than it was at one point in my life, I could still use a little extra something to help take the edge off from time to time. The beach scent seems promising.
definitely Earth, calming affect being outside and smelling the dirt. sounds silly maybe to others but not to me, and where I am I don't always have that luxury... thanks @tisonlyme143
The Pinch Me your dough is designed to last for hundreds of uses. I would like to try the For Men dough for my husband.
It's a toss up between the Earth, Spa or Beach scents. Sounds like an neat product. :)
Beach sounds fantastic to me. I love this concept. Can't wait to squish this stuff!
What I learned about "Pinch Me Therapy Dough" is that can help me replenish and rejuvenate myself. I an simply massage the dough between my fingers and let the stress go. A simple, but safe and useful way to help all of the days tenses go! I am in.
Wherever you go, pack the dough.
I would like to try the spa scent, lavender is so relaxing. Plus I don't think this would hurt my hand like stress balls do.
This looks neat I wouls like to try the io wan or the tropics
Ooooh, I think I would like the tropics! The description of the scent sounds sooo lovely!
CONNIE SOWARDS commenting: I'd like the tropics scent. I enjoy the idea of what that scent brings to mind.
amazing concept! My kids use sand in therapy but never used play dough! May have to suggest this soon. would love the beach scent
I would like the ocean scent. If it makes me think of the ocean, I know it would be destressing.
I think I would like to try the earth scent. I always feel relaxed when I'm surrounded by trees
I would like to try the scent Ocean because I love being by the ocean and it is also my grand daughters middle name.
I would like to try the tropics scent, please!
Sent:Ocean,the blue to me is relaxing,soothing and tranquil
I would definitely like to try the Tropics scent. This is the scent that I react to the best. Nothing like paradise from the comfort of your own home! :) (Precisely Mine)
I like this idea a lot! I think this would help me and I would probably get the beach scent
Wow! I want this stuff! Hard to decide what I would choose but I think tropics has me.
The smell of 'spa' and the stress relief of kneading dough sounds like a good solution to stress :)
