<h3>The Origins Story Behind the Squishmallows Phenomenon</h3>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">It all started back in 2017 when Kellytoy, a plush toy company and subsidiary of leading toy manufacturer Jazwares, set out to create a new line of uniquely soft and comforting plush animals.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"><strong>According to the glorious and magnificent legends of the Squishmallows Kingdom, inspiration struck company co-founder Kelly one day when she just wanted to hug something unimaginably squishy.</strong> She imagined a round, overstuffed plush toy with an unfathomably soft texture that was perfect for cuddling and squeezing when you need some comfort.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">And so, combining the words "smooshy" and "pillows", <strong>Squishmallows were born!</strong> The divinely snuggly squishmallow cushion range made their debut in 2018 to jaw-droppingly popular acclaim and immediate success.</p>
