Some say smartphones have made us soft. That we live a life without enough friction.
For those looking for the antidote, we offer this set: two parts pain, one part pleasure.
First, a yo-yo that is completely unresponsive. Meaning you’ll have to learn how to get it back to your hand, because this one is made for tricks, not snapping obediently back with a simple tug.
Second, a one-pound Venn puzzle built from solid stainless steel and frustration.
Lastly, as a palate cleanser, a fun and easy-to-use solid brass top to soothe your ego.
After all, the best pleasures are hard won.
