🛍️ The Ultimate Guide to Buying Your First Squishy Toy

(No Regrets, Just Pure Squish Joy)

👋 Hello, New Squishy Friend!

So… you’re thinking about getting your very first squishy toy.
Maybe you saw a viral video, maybe your bestie swears by theirs, or maybe you’re just looking for a little soft comfort in this chaotic world.

Whatever the reason — you’re in the right place.
In this ultimate guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to pick the perfect squishy for YOU (or for someone lucky enough to get it as a gift!).

🧸 What Is a Squishy Toy?

A squishy is a soft, squeezable toy that slowly bounces back after being squeezed.
They're popular for:

• Relieving stress

• Fidgeting during work or class

• Sensory play for kids

• Just being ridiculously cute 😍

At YumiSquishy™, our squishies are made from food-grade silicone — meaning they’re soft, safe, and built to last.

🎯 Step 1: Know Your "Why"

Start by asking yourself:

• Do I need stress relief or anxiety help?

• Am I looking for a quiet fidget tool?

• Is this for a child (safe & sensory-friendly)?

• Do I just want something cute for my space?

• Or am I here for the ✨aesthetic✨?

Your answer will guide the size, shape, and type of squishy that fits you best.

🔍 Step 2: Choose the Right Material

Not all squishies are created equal.

✅ YumiSquishy™ = 100% food-grade silicone — safe, squishy, and made to be loved every day.

📏 Step 3: Pick the Right Size

• Mini (fits in one hand): Perfect for pockets or little hands

• Standard: Ideal for desks, gifting, or fidgeting

• XL: Hug-sized. For when you need maximum squish comfort

🌈 Step 4: Choose Your Style

This is the fun part!

What’s your squishy vibe?

• 🐻 Cute & cuddly: Bears, bunnies, chubby friends

• 🍓 Foodie fun: Macarons, peaches, strawberries

• 🌌 Aesthetic: Galaxy swirls, pastels, glitter

• 🤪 Whimsical: Quirky faces, fun shapes, surprises

Pick one that makes you smile on sight. That’s your squishy soulmate.

🧼 Step 5: Make Sure It’s Washable
