One per stocking
Buy a 3-pack and split it across three stockings. With free shipping that works out under $7 a squishy.
Who a squishy is for
- Teens. Squishy and slow-rise videos are huge on TikTok, so a real one in the stocking lands well.
- Anyone with a desk. A slow-rising squishy is a stress toy that sits next to the keyboard all year.
- Secret Santa and gift swaps. A mystery 3-pack comes in under a typical $20 limit and everyone wants to see what is inside.
- The person who has everything. Nobody already owns the exact design they get.
Not for little kids: squishies are foam and can break into small pieces, so ours are for ages 14 and up.
How to pick a good one
- Slow rise. The best part is squeezing it flat and watching it puff back over several seconds. Cheap ones pop straight back.
- Stocking size. About 5 to 6 inches fits a stocking without hiding everything else.
- Sealed wrapper. Individually wrapped squishies stay clean and feel like a proper gift to open.
- A bit of surprise. Mystery packs, where you do not know which design you get, make opening it half the fun.

Questions
Are squishies good stocking stuffers?
Yes, for teens and adults. They are small, light, cheap, and fun to open, and a slow-rising squishy is the kind of thing people keep on a desk long after the holidays.
What age are squishies for?
Smooshery squishies are for ages 14 and up. They are foam and can break into small pieces, so keep them away from young children and pets.
What is a slow-rising squishy?
A soft foam toy that you squeeze flat and that then puffs back into shape slowly, over several seconds. Squeezing it and watching it rise is the whole appeal.
When should I order for Christmas?
Smooshery ships the next business day by USPS Ground Advantage, which usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Order by mid-December for Christmas delivery; the exact cut-off is posted on the site in December.
