What does the farms think of squishmallows?

Got one as a gift but never showed interest in one prior. About to donate it because it's a waste of space and I can't do anything with it. People are so ruled by consooming that they just buy random shit for their family instead of something that they actually need or would have meaning to them. Thanks for the toy, you really showed you cared. It's not the thought that counts if it's just burdening me.
 
I go crazy for the things. My consumeristic side jumps out with an impressive degree of fervour at the mere sight. I'd sleep in a bed made entirely out of frogmallows, buried under blankets of frogs (with a pillow of, you guessed it, fucking expensive but addicting plush frogs) I'll likely die suffocated in my plushy hoard one day, and it will have been worth it.

I know how you feel, my family give me some absolutely random shit. I'm the only geek in the family, and I think they find it embarrassing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the year they proudly presented me with an artisanal jar of tomato jam. Why the fuck would anyone make tomato jam, let alone give it to me? That said, it's hard for me buy for my family, so it's a two way street.

Tomato jam is delicious though. It is a weird gift though, definitely a filler gift you give to someone who you don't really understand or know.

I never understood the hype. The designs are hit-or-miss, and owning several of them will take up too much space.

I saw this one being sold at a store for around $50.
 
i already have way too many plushies as is but i still came close to buying some particularly cute squishmallows. thankfully their price tag kept me in check, because why the fuck would i spend over forty dollars for a product that was probably made with five dollars worth of materials.

I've been tucking a squishmallow under my arm to sleep for a while. I discovered that it's the perfect size and shape to stop me from rolling onto my stomach and waking up with a sore arm and chest. Unfortunately it's gotten rather flattened and is losing it's effectiveness. I don't want to buy a new one, and I've not been able to find a cushion or pillow with the same dimensions or density. Does anyone know how I can get it back to its old self?

I mostly see e-girls with hoards of them and while they're cute, they have pretty homogeneous designs and it's become a "designer brand" of sorts. I'm sure they're nice to lay on but my plushies are friends not pillows. I still feel bad when I accidentally knock one to the floor.

I think they're adorable - my favourites are the Cthulhu and the caracal (Big Floppa!)
 
Maybe unpopular opinion but I find them uninspired and boring looking because they all kinda look like a blob dressed up in different costumes. I do like the way asians design their plushies to look more cute, round and with exaggerated features, but I think this kind of plushie is much cuter than just the different blobs:

They put out a new rat character and it doesn't have cheese embroidered/printed on it! I was so happy, right up until the point I realised that they'd swapped the cheese motif for a fucking rubbish bin.

Yeah, no, I'm not buying that thing.

Almost every rat/mouse soft toy or figurine is holding cheese, or is patterned with cheese, or cheese coloured, and on the rare occasions this isn't so, a garbage receptacle of some description invariably takes its place. Annoying as fuck.

how long will it take before product design teams realize rats can eat almost anything which means they can be depicted with whatever food item they want to put there? i know it's a part of the design shorthand and most people don't give a shit about rats anyways, but like. you could at least be a proper capitalist by seizing the chance to make it thematic. have him hold a candy cane for christmas, a pumpkin for autumn/halloween, and a lemonade for summer.
 
I have one that's an optician badger and he's purse sized, so he's on a shelf with my rainbow Peep.

My kids have a Japanese mouse miner thing I got as they were half price and they're pretty snuggly and cute
