A well balanced retractable ballpoint pen. The type with aluminum body. I can make it rotate on my hand, and push the button really quick to help me focus. The trick is to push the button but not fully, in order to not produce any noise that could annoy people around you.

Pen and paper pad? Look serious like you are taking notes but you are doodling dinosaur battles.
I’m a huge fan of https://fidgetland.com/flipit-fidgets/ — they’re quite small, and can be entirely unnoticeable if you get the nearly-silent “Stephie” version and your hands aren’t in plain view. 🙂 I keep a few different ones in different places!
Very cheap and also cool because you can find the perfect one for you yourself: a smooth rock. I keep one in most of my jacket pockets and it's great to fidget with on the go, it also doesn't make any sounds like some fidget toys do. No one will ever know.
i have a soft leather keychain that i clip to whatever bag i'm using, it's not overly fidgety but it is a pleasant sensation
I can vouch for The Thinket! It's a bit on the pricey side, but once it arrived, I immediately bought a second one. Feels just great!
Saw someone mention spinner rings
Just a ring you can wear and discreetly spin
Hmm, that could be an option - will look into it, thanks :)
I’m not sure if this would be something you’re interested in but if you get a cheap 3D printer there are tons of very interesting free fidget devices on thingiverse. We’ve made a ton of them.
Are there any in particular you would recommend? I know a friend who has a 3d printer who I could probably ask for a favour, but I wouldn't know where to start...
My favorite is pop its!
