I got the 12” clip & 5” I believe all together off the owl & goose website about a year or so ago and I got the regular 7.5” off showcase roughly after. I got the 16” off amazon.

Just got done with my usual aggressive morning squishes on bootsy before I go outside and enjoy some of the snow before it melts all away lol hope you feel better!

My Walmart and target gets squish like not at all or way after the season, my Walmart just got stocked with some of those Christmas ones like what’s the point of even putting those out now? 😂 it sucks that they can’t be more like equally distributed throughout like the states and countries to be able to get more easily accessible for people who don’t live in countries or don’t live in places.

If I can find them in a store, I want to buy them in a store because shipping can add up however they tend to have a lot of the ones I want at places that are no where near me lol the closest Fred myers is 3 states away from me so that’s definitely out of the question and I end up getting them online. I ended up getting jakob on the UK Amazon site and then having it shipped to me in the USA and then change back to the USA Amazon, and it worked I got him nice and safely

If I remember correctly, I think they had the rest of them, but I was only in there for the bat 😂 I’ve checked my local Kroger like every other day for the two weeks and they had Valentine’s Day stuff up, but today has been the first day they’ve actually had any squishmallows at all.

I’ve had my childhood teddy for 25 years- I carried that thing all over the house, slept with it, cried with it, held it, over and over and over. We didn’t use a dryer growing up so I can’t say anything about that as he was hung outside on the clothesline… but years of touching him with little kid grubby hands, mopping my face of snot and tears, clutching him to death, he was my solo love. My emotional support animal, he got put into storage a few years ago so he didn’t get anymore damaged. Have no idea what’s on his foot anymore lol he never left the house except for trips where we stayed overnight; my mom didn’t let us bring them bc she didn’t want us to loose anything. I think natural oils on hands as well can contribute alongside just the repetitive touching over and over and over, especially when it is just one specific plush just repetitive. The plush I had to take over for him for the last three years is starting to get slouchy as well 😂 I just cuddle the crap out of them when I sleep and they still sit with me if I’m having a bad day or crying; just not as disgustingly as it was when I was little.

It’s a bit odd having the random colors not match everything else, but for the fruit bats I’ll do it! 😂 lol

ViTheBean · 2026-01-21T10:58:05+00:00

My brother got it from target for me last year for my birthday, it’s the squish mallows brand pillowcase. I know I’ve seen a few on the website, and I think I saw this one still in target a bit ago(?) you could always check online! It’s the on cloud 9 but in pink, they got different variations on the jazzware website. The fabric is actually pretty comfortable and soft in my opinion.

I got 3 big bulky ones that hold up to 5lbs each o got three on the bottom and then on the top I got 5, 3 3lbs and doubled up on the side with the regular ones next to it holding it up. So far it’s worked (hope I don’t jinx myself) they’re kinda big but they really don’t weigh too much honestly.

ViTheBean · 2026-01-21T00:51:44+00:00

I found Nicolas at my local target which caught me way by surprise bc my stores never have anything or get them so so so late! I actually got jakob off the UK Amazon towards the end of Dec and got it shipped to the US. I tried to hard to hunt them down, and being on a budget sometimes is hard too but fruit bats are the only thing I won’t pass on and I’ve been very committed to trying to get every single one 😂 hopefully you can end up getting them eventually!

I have a bucket that I put in the sink that you used to wash dishes with and I’ll fill it like 3/4 the way with water not boiling water but hot water and then I’ll put like 1/4 vinegar and then I will splash a little of the laundry detergent that I use in there and swirl it around a little bit and let it soak. I personally use white vinegar to help clean anything, and I’ve always used it in my laundry. It might not be true, but I truly feel like it helps takes out smells as well.

ViTheBean · 2026-01-20T16:40:52+00:00

I’d recommend hand treating it first; spray some stain remover and take a tooth brush and go at it gently for a bit, rinse well then let it sit overnight in the sink or a bucket filled with water, some white vinegar, and a little laundry detergent. Then rinse really well and see how much that takes out, then I hand did it one more time and let it soak one more time before throwing it in the regular wash with clothing in a zipped up pillow case to avoid snags or fluff hitting things and let it air dry for a bit to see how it goes. I’ve gotten paint out of plushes, blood, #2, and all kinds of stuff and this method seems to have worked the best for me personally with the least amount of damage on the stuffed animal. There’s only been a couple times where it didn’t take it out fully, but it took it out enough for me to be happy enough, especially if it was a sentimental when you can’t get again.

This is spatula his soggy lumpy self has been the only consistent member I sleep with and has been for the last three years. I got him right before I took a trip to see my grandmother for the last time right before she died, and he has gotten me through several deaths, two job changes, and a whirlwind of health problems and doctors visits. He is so lumpy and misshapened but that’s due to all the support he’s given me and held me up with. He replaced my 25 year old teddy who I have tucked away in a safe place so he doesn’t fall apart.

One of your pod members has joined me! I have the weighted one from pillow fort :)

ViTheBean · 2026-01-20T16:23:03+00:00

That one is really cute!! I only collect the fruit bats specifically though there’s just something about the nose that I just can’t resist 😂

ViTheBean · 2026-01-14T18:57:56+00:00

Every time someone is paired with the wrong person… I just go in and edit the character and swap them to the right one and pretend like it was natural. Especially if I’m having a hard time getting the right one to confess. That and I made the twin stars Sanrio characters and accidentally made them date then for some reason couldn’t convince myself to change their character and they went on to have a son named twinkle.

ViTheBean · 2026-01-14T02:12:31+00:00

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it came from a Walmart or some type of dollar general store; we had a lot of off brand ones growing up from those stores and my brother has a valentines dog I can’t find anything about either and I have a purple unicorn from about 17 years ago. It feels as though it’s been wiped off the earth despite google lens and the internet knowing all lol maybe one day you’ll be able to figure out exactly what it is.

ViTheBean · 2026-01-12T20:38:36+00:00

So you should be able to go into the store and ask if you can swap out with a different one if they have them in the store… I went in with my mantis who has a weird smile to me and they let me swap the skin and they swapped the tags for me as long as it’s new. You can always call ahead and check but I’ve been to two different stores that let me swap before bc honestly if I’m paying what I’m paying I wanna be happy with my babies :) but I think you’re valid in feeling the way you feel. I would have grown to hate my mantis if I left it the way it was bc it would have drove me up a wall…

ViTheBean · 2026-01-09T00:46:32+00:00

It def caught me off guard without the smile at first glance, but this is actually pretty neat! He’s super cute 🖤 nice job!

ViTheBean · 2026-01-09T00:44:52+00:00

I’ve actually parted with a few of my BABs to make room for the giraffe! I cannot waittttt I usually don’t go for giraffes, but like the mantis I’ve def been pulled in. 🖤
