The 2026 Squishy Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers, Mystery Dumplings & Giant Squishies
Some kids squeeze every toy in the aisle before they pick one. Others go straight for the mystery box. And then there’s the kid who would happily unwrap a giant blueberry cobbler and spend the rest of Christmas morning squishing it.
If that sounds like someone on your list, here are a few favorites from The Autism Store. Start with the stocking stuffers if you’re shopping for Christmas morning, or skip to the preorder picks if you’re shopping for a collector who already has a wish list.
Stocking stuffers under $15
Scrunchems Sugar Snowman Squishy. This little snowman is my pick for a stocking that needs one more thing. It has a festive design and gives kids something to squeeze while everyone else is still unwrapping. Browse the Christmas Collection
Holiday Standing Gingerbread Sticky Squish. Pick this one for the kid who likes to pull and stretch their fidgets. The gingerbread character has a tacky surface that sticks to smooth surfaces, so it’s a fun choice for kids who enjoy that texture. See the Gingerbread Sticky Squish
Taba Squishy Mushmeez Water Pets. If you want a little animal instead of a holiday character, these are a fun pick for a stocking or gift bag. They’re also an easy option when you’re shopping for several kids and want to keep each gift under $10. Browse Squishy Sensory Toys

For the kid who loves a mystery reveal
Half the fun of a mystery dumpling is opening it to see which one you got. A 4-inch Mystery Squishy Dumpling is a good place to start. It comes in a little steamer-style container, and the color is a surprise. The RMS 4-inch Snowflake Dumpling adds a winter theme and a chance to find a rare glitter version. If your child has their heart set on one specific color, a squishy sold in a named color is a better fit. See the 4-inch Mystery Dumpling · See the Snowflake Dumpling
Collector preorders worth putting on the wish list
Mystery Sprinkl Cookies has been our most popular squishy lately. It’s a plush cookie-shaped squisher with a mystery design, which makes it a fun pick for someone who likes both soft toys and surprise reveals. For the collector who already has a shelf of smaller bao buns, the RMS 7-inch Color Change Mystery Dumpling is the one I’d put on their wish list.

Then there are the RMS SmushMart Giant Squishies. Think Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey’s Kisses, and even a giant blueberry cobbler. Blueberry Cobbler is listed as a January 2027 preorder, so save that one for a later surprise. Browse Giant Squishies
Ordering for Christmas? Choose an in-stock item for anything you need by a specific date. Check the estimated ship date on each preorder listing. If you order in-stock and preorder items together, your order ships once all items are in stock. Place a separate order for the gifts you need sooner.
One quick way to choose
Think about the toy they already reach for. If they like soft fabric, try a plush squisher. If they love to pull and stretch, look for a stretchy pick. If opening a mystery toy is their favorite part, go with a dumpling. Check the age guidance on the product page, especially when shopping for younger kids.
