Updated for the 2026 holiday season. Prices and stock checked on October 31, 2026.
I own OVERRATED, a kawaii and K-beauty store at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township and Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, Michigan. Squishies are the number one thing teens buy in our stores. Not little kids. Teens. They keep them on their desks, squeeze them during homework and trade them with friends.
That makes squishy gifts for teen girls the safest bet when you are shopping for a teen girl and have no idea what she wants. Every squishy below is under $25, most are under $10, and every one is a style we sell every single day.

The 4 types of squishies, and why it matters for squishy gifts
Teens are picky about how a squishy feels. If she already owns a few, buy a different type than the ones she has.
- Slow rise: soft foam that sinks when you press it and takes its time coming back. Calm and satisfying.
- Jelly or mochi: stretchy, clear or glossy, with a smooth pull. This is what Chiboki is known for.
- Sugar-filled: a grainy, crunchy squeeze that feels nothing like foam.
- Crackle and splat: squishies that make a sound or a mess-free splat. These are the ones teens film.
10 squishy gifts teen girls actually want
1. Splat Potato Squishy ($6.99)
One of the fastest selling squishies in both of our Michigan stores. Toss it on a table or press it flat and it splats, then slowly pulls itself back into shape. It is silly in the best way, which is exactly why teens film it. Shop the Splat Potato Squishy.
2. Viral Korean Wakppu Crackle ASMR Ball ($7.99)
The wakppu ball is the Korean sensory toy all over social media right now. You squeeze it and it crackles, which makes it one of the most satisfying ASMR sounds you can hold in your hand. Great for the teen who watches squishy and ASMR videos before bed. Shop the Wakppu Crackle Ball.
3. Chiboki Mini Milk Carton Squishy ($8.99)
Tiny clear milk cartons in Strawberry Milk, Coconut Milk, Banana Milk and Mint Choco Milk. Chiboki is a collector favorite, and we are an authorized Chiboki seller, which matters because fakes are everywhere online. More on that in our guide to where to buy authentic Chiboki squishies. Shop the Mini Milk Carton series.
4. Chiboki Crystal Mochi Squishy ($10.99)
A soft, stretchy mochi covered in tiny crystal-like beads, in Icy Blue, Pink Strawberry and Green Apple. It feels different from anything else on this list, so it is the pick for a teen who already owns a pile of squishies. Shop the Crystal Mochi series.
5. Kawaii Gummy Bear Squishy ($7.99)
Looks exactly like a giant gummy bear, comes in Glitter or Classic, and has a smooth, soft squeeze. A fun pick to pair with a bag of Korean or Japanese candy. Shop the Gummy Bear Squishy.
6. Mini Glitter Sugar Dumpling Squishy ($4.99)
Small, sparkly and filled with sugar, so the squeeze feels grainy and different from a foam squishy. At $4.99 it is the easiest add-on to any gift. Curious why dumplings took over? Read our post on the squishy dumpling trend. Shop the Mini Glitter Sugar Dumpling.
7. Butter Squishy Slow Rise Toy ($4.99)
A stick of butter you can squish, in Original or Strawberry. Press it and it sinks in, then rises back slowly. Teens love it because it is a little absurd. Shop the Butter Squishy.
8. Pompompurin Squishy Toy ($12.99)
For the Sanrio fan. A slow rise Pompompurin with his little beret, soft enough to squeeze and cute enough to sit on a shelf. Shop the Pompompurin Squishy.
9. Miffy Mechanical Keycap Fidget Keychain ($5.99)
Not a squishy, but it lives in the same world. Three real mechanical keyboard switches with Miffy keycaps that click like a keyboard. A fidget she can clip to her backpack. Shop the Miffy Keycap Keychain.
10. Kawaii Dumpling Light-Up Plush Keychain ($3.99)
A fluffy dumpling with an embroidered face that lights up. Pair it with any squishy above and the gift instantly feels bigger. Shop the Light-Up Dumpling Keychain.
The Squish Starter: a squishy gift bundle under $25
One squishy is a nice gift. Three different squeezes in one bag is one of the best squishy gifts you can give. This is the bundle I would put together myself. Total: $23.97 before tax and shipping.
- Splat Potato Squishy, $6.99, for the splat
- Wakppu Crackle ASMR Ball, $7.99, for the crackle
- Chiboki Mini Milk Carton Squishy, $8.99, for the jelly
