... Read moreYou guys, I am still buzzing from my latest find! I was just casually browsing the aisles at CVS when BAM! There they were – the most adorable Halloween Squishmallows I’ve seen this season. Seriously, my heart skipped a beat when I saw those little Sanrio faces peeking out. It was Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi, all dressed up as the cutest miniature pumpkins. They’re the perfect size, not too big, not too small – truly the smallest size of Squishmallow plush that isn't a keychain, making them extra special for collecting or just having a cute desk companion.
Finding these limited-edition Halloween Squishmallows can be a real treasure hunt, and I wanted to share some tips that helped me snag these cuties. First off, keep an eye on your local drugstores like CVS, Walgreens, and even big box stores like Target and Walmart. They often get seasonal drops before anyone else. My trick is to check frequently, especially first thing in the morning when new stock might have been put out. Don't be afraid to ask store associates if they know when new shipments are expected – sometimes they'll give you a hint!
What makes these particular Halloween Squishmallows so special? Well, for starters, they're Sanrio characters! Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi are iconic, and seeing them in their festive pumpkin outfits is just too precious. The Kuromi, for instance, has her signature black body, white face, and that tiny green skull on her head, all perfectly integrated with an orange pumpkin base. It’s those little details that make them irresistible. And for those of us who love the brand, seeing the "ORIGINAL SQUISHMALLOWS" and "HELLO KITTY AND FRIENDS" branding on their packaging just confirms you've found the real deal.
These aren't just any plushies; they're collectible pieces. Starting a Halloween Squishmallow collection is so much fun! Beyond just hitting up stores, I also recommend checking online collector groups or even local trading communities. Sometimes people will share intel on where they've seen stock, or you might even find others willing to trade. Displaying them is half the fun – imagine a shelf filled with these tiny pumpkin-clad friends! You can create a whole spooky-cute setup.
And don't forget about care! Even though they're plush, a gentle spot clean is best to keep your Halloween Squishmallows looking fresh. These festive characters truly bring a touch of joy and holiday spirit. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, keeping an eye out for these special releases, especially the Sanrio ones, is totally worth it. Happy hunting, everyone! I hope you find your own adorable pumpkin-dressed Hello Kitty, My Melody, or Kuromi soon!
