What does the farms think of squishmallows?

[Accept Only Substitutes]

Saw the Christmas ones in my local grocery this morning. I was pretty damn tempted by the Christmas tree ngl.



But then I remembered that I'm trying to downsize my shit because having too much stuff is Hella stressful, and kept on walking.

Honestly, they're quite nice. If you're an autist for soft, comfy things than head to the store and grab a big one with a design you like. They're ridiculously squishy and comfortable to sleep on, and their simple, blobby shape makes them versatile if you sleep in weird positions.

It's sad that these things have been turned into female Funko Pops by Tiktok zoomers and eBay scalpers, I really do think it's worth picking one or two up to use as big, ultra-squishy pillows if you're into that kind of thing.

I have a large husky and a mini. So it's like a mother and puppy. And I have a medium size black cat with a pink belly and ears. I put them on my bed. And whenever someone asks I forget to include the backpack hanger reaper I keep on my closet door latch.

I try not to impulse buy them because I would end up with too many. I kinda wanted the gay frog though. He had a rainbow belly and a crown.I thought it was funny. But I resisted the urge to consoom.

I didn't know they were trendy until I saw a sign in Five Below saying people were limited to three Squishmallows each. Before that I assumed they were mainly meant for five year olds since I'm old enough to remember Pillow People and assumed they were the modern equivalent.

Yeah, I didn't really realize that either until seeing them fill up the consoomer thread here. They really are the new Beanie Baby in many ways, and it's that kind of stigma that's put me off of them. After reading through this thread though, it's nice to know I'm not the only autist here with an affinity for super soft things.

Have any of you seen 'Puffies' and 'Squishables'? They're lines of soft toys heavily borrowing on Squishmallow designs. In Australia the stores have gone absolutely batshit over the things. Squishmallows have been relgated to out of the way bins, and there are shelves upon shelves of Puffies and Squishables. When I tried to go toyshopping for a young female relative, the girls' toy sections of both Kmart and Target had been absolutely gutted to make room for them.

My nephew (3) loves stuffed toys, but with his younger brother (6 mos) playing with him, I always preferred to get him Squishables. They tend to be smaller, firmer, and had more unique designs, which makes them a little safer and easier for baby brother to play along. The little mini ones are always on sale (<$10) at my local bigbox store.

Pro-tip: just remove the chain on the keychain ones for cheap mini toys.

They're cute, but pretty basic. I like plushies more than someone of my age should but Sqiushmallows are just variations of the same eggshaped body. It feels soulless and mass produced.
That being said I'm not gonna shit on someone for liking them in particular. That's just my thoughts about it. I always respect another fellow plushie lover.

Pretty much what I was thinking too.

They look passable, the design is pretty boring and "corporate" looking, and I wouldn't ever buy one for myself, but it might be endearing if someone had one. People who unabashedly like cute, dorky, or nerdy things as adults, who are also still functioning members of society, warm my heart, and we generally ending up getting on better than I would with "normal" adults.

Anyway, I like the original Beanie Baby designs more. They have some very unique shapes and designs, and a lot of charm for me. When a friend has a favourite animal, I always find it fun to try to find them some trinket that represents it, and an old school Beanie Baby is never a bad choice. Something about the massive eyes on the modern ones is really off-putting.

It's funko pops for women.

 

[Sissyagamben]

I have a bunch, and I agree with the male mentioned by op. If she has a corner for squishmallows, its not good. but two or three would be normal, after all they are plushies sold in fkn target and drug stores. But after 5? It’s too much

I thought Funko Pops were Funko Pops for women.

 

[msd]

They're extremely cute looking, and if I wasn't saving money I'd buy one.

Don't let anyone judge you

They're very poorly filled, 100% polyester pillow equivalent of Beanie Babies and Funko Pops. Proof that people will buy anything that has their favorite cartoon character on it. Consoomers gonna consoom. I want to say at least these can be reused, but just looking at them you know they get flat super fast.

Most normalfags don't know not to wash polyester with heat and fabric softener so I imagine most of these pillows get trashed and thrown away. In this way, Funko pops are better for the environment in that they retain their shape.

 

[Lady Bizness]

They're cute but we already have too many stuffed animals that are actually special. It's annoying because Goodwill and other donation places won't take stuffed animals and I feel bad throwing them away. I really wish people wouldn't gift stuffed animals. At least an action figure can be donated, even if played with a little.

 

[Sparkling Yuzu]

I like them, I have a cinnamon bun one I got from Giant Tiger. I want one of those giant ones to use as a pillow.

The plague doctor is cute. I like him. He's cute.

His lantern glows in the dark!

I couldn't resist this little guy last week. I lost my elderly Siamese cat earlier this year and every time I saw it at the store I thought of her. I got the last one they had. He lives on the recliner the cats use and I love him. He's the only one I plan on getting.

 

[SpicyNotSoNicey]

I have two dogs one that i use as pillows haha

 

[Cherry Eyed Hamster]

I bought one at a Walmart while I was on a trip and forgot to bring my pillow and man they are SOFT and comfy as fuck. The one I have has the coloring of cotton candy and is legitimately adorable. Yea their designs are pretty generic but hey they’re a pretty good product.

 

[Dread First]

Squishmallows to me are this decade's Pillow Pets: cute, kinda nice-looking pillow things that presumably won't last. Can someone please make a vaguely Sanrio-like pillow thingamabob out of a material that'll actually last as a goddamn pillow?

That’s not a plague doctor, that’s the Rabbi on his way to transfer his sins to the village water supply….
