Trying to get my son to decide what he wants from the big man at Christmas has been painful this year. He finally made his choice yesterday but I'll be damned if I can find anything close to what he described Confused

He's asked for a strawberry squishy. But not the one that comes up on every Google search I've done. It's a strawberry. With a face. Smells like a strawberry. It's a soft toy. Maybe 5-7 inches big.

And it definitely exists because he's seen a child with one. A friend told him it's a squishy but I really don't think it is!

Can anyone help? 🙏🙏

It's not a Lotso bear from Toy Story is it? That smells like strawberries. It's not a strawberry obviously, but he might have confused it for one.

Try the Anboor strawberry squishy on amazon

Wolfcub · 08/12/2018 08:15

The one with chocolate on the bottom

Dothehappydance · 08/12/2018 08:15

DD has a soft toy one, we got it from The Works. Not the right one but they call it as squidgie. Might help with the search.

Does it definitely have a face? No chance he has misremembered?

Cahira · 08/12/2018 08:31

Definitely not a bear. I'm not spending nearly £40 on a soft toy either! Shock

I've looked at the smiggle ones but they're to fit in the palm of your hand. The one he's specified is bigger.

I'll look at squidgies, thanks happydance

Yes it has a face, he said the eyes are black and white.

This is so stressful, why couldn't he have picked a more mainstream toy 😬

I thought he meant the Anboor one but it's more like a soft toy than a sponge!

What age is he? Is there any chance he could have got inches and cm mixed up

www.theworks.co.uk/p/soft-toys/red-strawberry-poop-squishy-toy/10088715

It has chocolate aka poop, depends on what angle you look at it, is squishy, is 8cm not 8in and is a scented strawberry

BalthazarsAThirstyBitch · 08/12/2018 13:41

I’d guess it's a squeezamal but not sure they sell that type in England looked it up and came up with this image but not in England trusca.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRUCA1-28403054reg.jpg

user1471533394 · 08/12/2018 19:24

Is it from The Goodness Gang?They sell them at the Co-op and on eBay.

Cahira · 08/12/2018 19:52

I got him to sit down and go through the various ones I'd seen. He's settled on a squeezamal which are scented although I don't think it's what he originally meant. Kids eh?!

Cahira · 08/12/2018 19:53

Balthazar, I think you got it right but yes, they're not available in this country. He's either misremembered what he saw or the child had an international delivery!

He’s most likely seen it on YouTube. Get him to find the video, toys “played with” will be enthusiastically detailed.

Popsicle27 · 08/12/2018 20:55

The co-op vegetable gang strawberry ticks all the boxes!

TwistedChristmas · 08/12/2018 20:56

Is it one they've been giving away at Frankie and Benny's with kids' meals?

KatoPotato · 08/12/2018 21:02

DS has this from the co-op

Please, PLEASE, help me find this 'toy'!
Cahira · 08/12/2018 22:40

Oh wow, do the ones from Co-op smell like strawberry too?! They never came up on my searches

OP posts:
KatoPotato · 10/12/2018 10:47

Hi, no these aren't scented. My DMum started collecting the stickers and DS adores them!

jellybeanteaparty · 10/12/2018 10:52

Perhaps you could add scent to the co-op one. Body shop used to do a strawberry perfume

AdamNichol · 10/12/2018 12:15

Co-op Goodness Gang are just teddies. You can buy them outright or need to collect stamps. DS has carrot, strawb, cauliflower, and bean.
