This play set captures the essence of why these toys are so popular. Put in one of the plastic coins, turn the handle, and one of the bubbles containing a Squinkie pops out, just like a regular gumball machine! The set includes 5 or 6 Squinkies in their bubbles, 2 plastic “coins,” and the gumball machine (which flips open into a little house).

The teapot play set has the same idea as the gumball play set, only with a tea pot instead of a traditional gumball machine. This is the one my little girl has on her Christmas wish list. It’s so cute! I know we’ll have hours of fun playing with it.

This isn’t just a play SET, it’s a play HOUSE, loaded with so many figures and features, your little girls will be happily entertained for hours. The house folds out from a cupcake-themed machine that dispenses Squinkie-filled bubbles into a play house for them, and includes 9 bubbles. This would make an ideal “big” gift, one that’s sure to make her squeal with delight and make good on her promise to be good for a whole nother year.

This set is similar to the one above, only instead of a cupcake/bakery theme, it’s a gumball machine and playhouse. It also comes with 9 Squinkies in their bubbles. It keeps selling out, so it’s a little hard to find, but be persistent! Your little girl would love this!
Those are 8 of the cutest Squinkie sets available right now, and any of them would make a wonderful giggle-evoking gift or stocking stuffer. Extra Squinkies are available, too, to expand your little girl’s collection, but bear in mind they have tiny pieces, so they’re not for kids younger than three. Aren’t they cute? Which of these Squinkies sets do you think your little girl would like best, and why? Or is there another Squinkies toy she’s asked for?
