Who buys it, and why

Squishy stress toy refers to soft squeeze toys made of foam, gel or silicone that people press to relieve stress or keep their hands busy, from slow-rising foam shapes to water-filled balls. People search it for gifts, desk toys, classroom rewards and calming tools. In practice, buyers are parents, teachers, teenagers and office workers, many following squishy trends on TikTok. The rise follows a wave of viral squishy designs and holiday gift shopping. It is cheap to source and crowded, so novelty shapes, licensed characters and durable materials are where sellers compete.
