Pomence™ Dumpling Squishy Advent Calendar (24 Surprises)

Our kitchen island has turned into the squishy headquarters. My son and daughter take turns with the doors, one gets the even days and one gets the odd days, and nobody argues about it, which is a miracle in this house. After a week the line-up in front of the box was already long enough that they started naming them. They squeeze them while I make lunches and then put them back in order. It honestly made the mornings smoother, not crazier.

Five of them live on my dorm desk now. Best study break squeeze ever.

Every night my 6-year-old guesses what will be behind tomorrow's door, and every morning she is at the dining table before I've even made coffee. Today was a Santa and she would not put him down through breakfast. She squeezes them, talks to them, and lines up her favorites by her plate. Such a sweet little routine for us.

Twins and one calendar sounded like trouble, but they split the doors and each built a row on our living room shelf. Two neat rows, zero fights. Total dad win.

Kept one for my work desk. It gets squeezed every time my inbox fills up.

Grandma here, and I was not sure squishies were my thing. My grandkids only come over on weekends, so we saved up the doors and opened a few together at each visit. They came running in asking which door was next before their coats were even off. Now the squishies sit in a row on my kitchen windowsill, and I catch myself giving one a squeeze while my tea steeps. It is the sweetest thing to look at in my kitchen. I will be buying this again next year.

Honestly I expected these to get tossed in the toy bin by day three. Instead my three kids made a whole game out of them. They sort them into piles by color on the play table, trade back and forth, and make up names and little stories. Every one of them still bounces back after all that handling.

Bedtime got a new ritual. My daughter brings her newest squishy to bed every night and lines them up on her nightstand by the lamp. Squeezing one is part of her wind-down now. Sweet and calming.

Teacher here. I used this as our classroom countdown and it was the highlight of every morning meeting. Each day a different student got to be the door opener, and the whole class leaned in to see which character came out. We lined the squishies up along the table next to our books so the kids could watch the row grow. They also became our calm-down squeeze during reading time. The kids were sad when the last door opened, but the squishies stayed with us.

Adult collector, zero shame. They look adorable lined up on my bookshelf.

Opening a door is the first thing my son and I do every morning on the coffee table. Three of them fit in my palm, so tiny and squishy. Our favorite few minutes of the day.

Wanted something festive for the entryway and this calendar was perfect for it. The box stands upright against the wall, and my two girls take turns opening a door on the way out to school. They leave the day's squishy on the console as a little welcome home. It looks so cheerful every time I walk in.
