If you’re new to the plushie collecting world or if you’re just looking for a new cuddly best friend and are curious about what the hype is over these squishy, plush animals, look no further!
Squishmallows are stuffed animals made from spandex and filled with soft, polyester fiber, giving them a pillowy, marshmallow-like feel. They were created by Jonathan Kelly of Kelly Toys Holdings LLC in 2017 and gained popularity on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic through users’ large collections of the toys. Since then, millions have been sold. Squishmallows come in a variety of colors, animals, and sizes ranging from 3.5 to 24 inches. They are also known for sometimes being incredibly pricey for what they’re worth, especially rarer ones; resellers and scalpers are not uncommon in the Squishmallow collecting world, so always shop with caution!
Each Squishmallow is also known to have its own distinct personality written on its hang tag. Whether you’re just starting your collection or looking to expand it, I’ve compiled this list to make it easy for you to find your next stuffed friend, just look for your zodiac sign!
