Has the squishy craze hit your home? Most of the birthday gifts we have given to friends this year have been some form of a squishy. There are so many choices- NeeDoh or Dumplings, glitter-filled or crunchy, quick rise or slow rise- the list goes on! There are also a lot of choices when it comes to where to find a squishy that your kid will love. We put together the ultimate list of where to buy squishes in the Birmingham area for when you are frantically searching for the perfect gift.
If you are looking for a specific item, we recommend calling ahead of time to verify the item is in stock! Some locally owned toy stores like Learning Express and Homewood Toy and Hobby Shop post online when they receive a shipment, so check often.

Learning Express*^
Learning Express in Cahaba Heights has a squishy bar with a very large variety of brands, shapes, and sizes to squish. When they receive a shipment of NeeDohs, expect a line to the back of the store, and they limit NeeDohs to two per person. Learning Express also occasionally has squishy trades where you can bring your own collection and trade with other friends free of charge.
