Where to buy Needoh Squishy advent calendars
Yasmine specialises in shopping advice and finding the best deals during sales events like Black Friday, helping readers get great value for their money.
Needoh Squishy toys have surged in popularity recently, with online searches increasing by more than 5,000% in the past year, according to Google Trends.
Made by Schylling, these stress relief toys are made with a dough-like material that can be squished and, when you let go, gradually return to its original shape.
They come in various types and sizes, including the classic ball, cubes, Dohjees (small collectable figures), and Gumdrop or Super Dough squishies, which are textured or oversized.
Subtle fidget tools, they are widely used to help relieve anxiety, increase focus or provide sensory input. But they’re also just a bit of fun to play with.
Needoh fans will be able to get their hands on the Needoh advent calendar in the run-up to Christmas 2026, with a 24-day countdown that contains 24 mini ‘teenie-size’ toys to open every day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. It's expected to launch in the autumn, and we expect it to sell out quickly.
If you can’t wait that long, Needoh has also released a special Halloween advent calendar, counting down to spooky season for 13 days in October with daily themed presents.
