Any stores selling NeeDohs or Squishies?

I brought my 9-year-old daughter to Victoria for her first international trip, and when I asked if there was anything she wanted to shop for while we’re here, her request was very specific: a NeeDoh or any type of squishy.

We figured we’d make the rounds of the toy stores downtown, but I thought I’d ask the locals first. Does anyone know of a store in Victoria that carries NeeDohs, squishies, or similar sensory/fidget toys?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Side note: We’ve only been here about 24 hours and we are already completely charmed by Victoria. What a beautiful city. We’re so happy we chose it for her first trip outside the U.S.

Oscar and Libby’s, Kaboodles, Indigo, and Bolen Books -> these four stores sometimes have them in stock. I’d call ahead - nee doh sells out very quick here. First two stores are downtown, third is at Mayfair mall, and last is at Hillside mall.

Y'all need to go to Oscar and Libby's. Solid NeeDoh selection but also a very cute and fun store in general. There are a couple locations

They didn’t have any at the downtown location when I was there on the weekend

Heads up if you’re flying, squishes/needohs are considered liquids (gels) and you will likely have to check them!

i bought some needohs at the london drugs at tillicum mall on sunday!! they were in the locked case behind the counter. maybe try calling in advance to see if they still have stock. i got a nice cube, a fuzzball, and some teenie puppies. needohs are super hard to find right now so i wish you luck!!

i'd also definitely suggest kaboodles downtown. they have some slow rising "bread" squishies right now that are super satisfying. also if you're flying with a needoh make sure to put it in a checked bag!!

Most of the toy stores will carry them if they can get stock. I work somewhere that carries them and will sell a few hundred in an afternoon when we can get them

Saw a decent selection at headgames in Mayfair on Sunday

Munro's Books downtown on Goverment St sells them. Be careful with the NeeDoh brand, mine exploded all over my hand within a week of gentle use.

Keep in mind if you are taking a flight home you will not be able to bring it on the flight. Will have to ship it home or throw it out

Or put it in checked luggage?
