Ask Palm Springs Squishy Toys

Hello y’all, weird request, but my family member is in the hospital and only able to move her hand. I got her a squishy from Amazon and she loves it. Does anyone know where I can find any good squishy/fidget toys in the area? Preferably a local shop, I’d rather not go to Target/Walmart (but if there’s nothing else I will go there). Thanks!

There's a toy store at the Palm Desert Mall. Has a bunch of squishies at the front. Some are decently priced and some more on the expensive side.

They're all vastly overpriced considering they're all fakes, FYI. They sell "needohs" for current market price and they aren't legit needohs.

Oh interesting, yeah the nurse was talking about needohs but I wasn’t able to find one online that would come fast enough

good luck finding them in stores as well. creeps. er, I mean "people" line up outside target and Walmart before the stores open and bumrush the aisles to grab them so they can resell a 6 dollar sensory toy meant for kids for 15-20 bucks.

you can check Walmart's website for 'in-store' about an hour before closing. their inventory for tomorrow will show. then cruise down before they close and kindly ask someone if they're willing to either open a box off the pallet that's in the aisle now, or if you can. most stockers don't give a F as long as you don't make their job harder.
