Q: I know i could get them from online somewhere but I'm wondering if there might be a certain type of store that i might have around locally that would sell them too? It's for a friend's birthday so I don't really have the time to have it shipped and besides that I don't really think its worth paying $8 in shipping for a little stone. I am of course talking about a flat smooth stone that has an indentation for your thumb. I don't think any old rock outside will work, I wanted one that was fairly decorative also, as it is a birthday present.
A: worry stones are basically flat smooth rocks that you can use to rub your thumb on while thinking...or worrying. Look outside. Also, often novelty stores carry them as well as Cracker Barrel restaurants.
