About JollySquish

JollySquish makes one thing: a countdown calendar with a soft squishy toy behind every door. This year it is dumplings. Twenty-four little mochi-style dumplings in Santa hats, reindeer antlers and striped scarves, each one sealed behind its own numbered door and each one different from the last.

It started with a complaint about chocolate calendars, which is that by the 26th of December there is nothing left but a cardboard tray. Ours leaves twenty-four dumplings that get lined up on windowsills, carried to school and squeezed flat on desks well into the spring.

Every box is packed the same way: twenty-four numbered doors, a different character behind each one, and a clear tray so nothing rattles loose.
