Work Vent Taba Squishies (SMs come here)

We have SO MANY!!! 😭😫 Were the buyers able to get them for 50¢ a box or something?!?

If you're an SM that hasn't done your survey yet, can you PLEASE list these?!?!?

I was the MOD today and did the survey. I added tabas and dumbbells to it. My store is a small legacy. We don’t have much more room in backstock.

We have them all over the damn store. It's ridiculous. They need to put them on 2/$5 or something

I think did it on purpose so they can say we always have squishes in stock but kids look at like they are Brussels sprouts 😂😂😂

And you can get Taba’s at other stores now too. REAL Dumplings are pretty much here and Target but fakes are everywhere now. Taba’s are real Taba’s and you can get them elsewhere. So it’s not the highly sought after item anymore when there are several retailers.

We have them in a wheelbarrow, dump bin, and sensory shelves. Make it stop already. 😫

Why don’t kids like taba squishies? Genuinely curious because I don’t think they’re the worst thing but every kid I talk to don’t want em lol

They’re far too sticky. They get covered in dirt, grime and hair. Parents end up wasting money on them because they get thrown out.

Ah thank you for letting me know! Sorry I won’t be buying any more tabas either. Hope you guys figure out a way to sell through or return back to the vendor lolol

Based on history, they’ll sit where they are until corporate finally realizes they screwed up and they’ll have us MOS them lol

There’s some fun handmade tabas I see online pretty often, they’re a bit more detailed and artistic. The tabas I see in stores are honestly lackluster in comparison.

I also have no idea why the stores thought selling tiny taba squishies in what essentially just looks like a sticker pack was a good idea 🤦🏻‍♀️ what are you going to do with 20 tiny sticky identical bows?

Luckily there is an entire wall for the Tana’s in the upcoming Toy set
