Squishmas Calendar

If you order by Wednesday 18 November, comfortably yes. We dispatch in 1–2 business days and delivery takes 4–6, so 5–8 business days door to door.

And if it doesn’t arrive in time for the 1st, email us and we’ll refund you in full. You won’t need to return anything or chase the carrier yourself.

24 sealed doors, one for each morning from 1 to 24 December, with a different squishy dumpling behind every one. They’re soft, slow-rising collectible toys about the size of a plum.

No chocolate, no sweets, nothing edible — so nothing to ration and nothing to argue about before breakfast.

None. There is nothing edible in the calendar, so there is no sugar, no palm oil and no ingredients list to check.

That’s the whole reason it exists. Twenty-four mornings of chocolate before school is a month of 7am sugar rushes and mid-morning crashes, and every parent who has done it knows how December goes by about the 12th.

It works best for roughly 3 to 10 — old enough to enjoy a countdown, young enough that a new toy every morning is genuinely exciting.

The dumplings are small collectible toys, so they are not suitable for children under 3, and we’d suggest an adult opens the first door if a younger sibling is at the table.

Yes, and it’s the thing we’d most encourage you to get right. One calendar means one child opens a door and the other watches, every morning, for 24 days.

The Sibling Bundle is two calendars, and the Family Bundle is three. Both work out cheaper per calendar than buying one.

Yes — 30 days from delivery, as long as it’s unopened with the doors still sealed.

We’ll be straight about why that condition is there: once the doors are open it can’t go to anybody else. So if you’re unsure, don’t open it. Separately, UK law gives you a 14-day right to cancel any online order, and whichever gives you more applies.

Free on every order, and tracked the whole way, whichever bundle you choose.

You’ll get a confirmation email straight away and a second one with your tracking number once it ships.

We ship as soon as the order is placed rather than holding it for a date, so it will arrive well before December if you order early.

That’s deliberate — a calendar sitting safely in your cupboard in November is the whole point. Store it flat, away from radiators and out of direct sunlight, and keep the outer packaging until your 30 days are up.
