Ari's Squish Universe is a real shop run by a real squishy expert: Ari, a Melbourne kid who has squeezed more squishies than anyone he knows.
"Hi, I'm Ari. I love squishies: the slow ones that rise back up, the crunchy ones, the cute ones with faces. My friends always ask where I get mine, so I started my own shop to bring all my favourite and most unusual squishies to them, and to you."
"I test every squishy before it goes in the shop. If it isn't squishy enough, cute enough, or if it might burst, it doesn't make it into the Universe."
Why everything here is mess-free
Ari loves squishies, all of them: soft, stretchy, bubbly and liquidy. He's had plenty of messy squishy accidents. One night Ari squeezed a bright red squishy in bed and it burst, covering him, his pyjamas and the white sheets in sticky filling. After a 10pm shower and a sheet change, Mum vowed he would never have a non-solid squishy in his hands again.
So the shop has one rule: nothing with a gooey middle. Every squishy is solid foam or solid silicone all the way through, with no gel, liquid, slime or water beads inside.
Ari's Squish Score
