gift giving: mini Squishmallows from Costco?

[kitchenreno]

I confirmed that my nieces (age ranges 7-10) all like Squishmallows.  This seems like an easy gift to get all 3 of them.

Costco has 8 packs of mini ones ($28.99) that look super cute (to me, which means nothing. obvs).  I don't see these same 8 packs sold other places.  Are these "not cool" for some reason?

I think there is something fun for kids about the bigger ones. But - those are very cute, I saw them there and almost got that same pack for my kid. I think that they would be very popular and you’d be the awesome aunt for getting them.

Yep, they're fine (as in, not fake or anything) - just small, lol. That being said, I imagine that anyone who likes Squishmallows (or stuffies for that matter) would like them!

We got my kids the bigger $13 ones for Xmas this year. I thought about getting the 8 pack and splitting it between them but I thought they might like the bigger ones to use kind of as pillows. I think the small ones are still a good gift though!

They are very cute! We bought them to give as favors at DD2’s bday party and the kids loved them. Costco also had some bigger ones that were priced really good too. We got these for our kids for Xmas.

My kids love them! They really like the little ones.

I got a pack for my kids to share as a Christmas gift (because they have so many bigger Squishmellows already lol). They aren't that small, but they're adorable.

My daughter loves the little ones, and she can only fit so many big ones in her twin bed, lol, so the littles allow her to have more of them

my kids *love* them. In all sizes. (even smaller, too) Squishmallows seem to are one of the few things with mass appeal from preschool to middle school.

My 9 year old son is super into Squishmallows and his 3 year old sister is into...all stuffies, haha. So I got the 8 pack of the food themed ones for the big kid, and the animal ones for the little one. This is probably going to backfire massively but my hope is they won't fight over them AS much

My daughter has one HUGE one, many regular sized ones, but actually prefers collecting the little ones. I think it's a great idea.

Thanks everyone - super helpful!

My kids love those

My kids love those sets.

ALso, those are great for parents to have on hand for gifts for friends - add it to a gift card or other small gift, fun candy etc...

We did this too and then my kids trade for the ones they want from each box

Yep, kids love them in all sizes, and they are cute! And the Costco price is really good.

We love the little ones too!

My son likes the bigger ones to snuggle, but he likes the little ones to play with. I think they will be loved and are a great gift!
