Shop the new PUMA x Squishmallows collab for the cutest shoes yet
New York Post may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Just when you thought your sneaker rotation couldn't get any cozier, PUMA and Squishmallows are back — and they've brought the full Squad with them. In a follow-up to their debut partnership, the two cult-favorite brands have returned with an even more playful, plush-ified drop that blurs the lines between comfort and culture. This is both a full-blown sneaker release and a sensory experience, which we're all here for. In short, it's a tactile celebration of softness reimagined through PUMA's most iconic silhouettes. Each shoe in the new PUMA x Squishmallows collection takes inspiration from seven beloved characters in the Squishmallows universe, transforming fan-favorite kicks into walking tributes to these cuddly icons. Think: pastel hues pulled straight from your favorite plush toy, fuzzy textures that look — and feel! — like a warm hug, and character details so accurate, you'll half expect your shoes to squeak. From Cam the Cat's cool neutrals to Fifi the Fox's electric flair, every pair is a love letter to softness and self-expression. But this collab is more than just cute aesthetics. At its core, it's a strategic fusion of nostalgia, community and style — a bold move by PUMA to tap into the ever-expanding lifestyle appeal of Squishmallows, whose squishy charm has captivated everyone from Gen Z collectors to adult comfort-seekers. In a fashion landscape that's leaning harder into personality-driven drops, this collection delivers something truly original: sneaker culture, with a side of serotonin. It also marks a shift in how brands are thinking about 'fun' in fashion. While high-end streetwear often leans into moody minimalism, the PUMA x Squishmallows collab makes the case for maximal joy. Each shoe feels like a character study, carefully designed to embody the spirit of its Squishmallow muse while remaining unmistakably PUMA. PUMA Squishmallows and PUMA are back once again to bring you the world's most ultra-soft-inspired collab. Introducing the one that started it all: Cam the Cat. The Easy Rider Cam is for true fans of this calico companion, featuring a custom lace charm, unique Cam graphics and a multi-color Formstripe that resembles Cam's signature spots. PUMA This PUMA x Squishmallows collab is a real sweet treat. Meet the Palermo Maui: inspired by the sweetest Squish you've ever met, these Palermos are covered in all things Maui, clad with a pineapple pattern on the Formstripe, a lace charm of Maui herself and custom graphics all over. Below, find other shoes to shop now that are part of the PUMA x Squishmallows collab: Rebound Layup SL Graciela Find your inner peace with these shoes inspired by yoga-loving Cactus Graciela.

If you're not all spent out, there's one final deal destination to explore, and that is Amazon Haul.I've only recently given much notice to this flashy section filled with a hodgepodge of items in all categories and quality. This new deals section is very reminiscent of what you may find on Temu, Shein, or the chaos that is TikTok Shop, but backed by the reliability of Amazon. To incentive you to try it, Amazon is offering you 40% off your entire Haul purchase. Yes, I tried it myself, and when I hit checkout, my entire cart dropped by 40%. Check back in two weeks ( that's how long you're quoted for shipping) to see my official haul.

Five savvy ways to make your own delicious jam at home
Save on a pair of Zero Gravity sun loungers with our Deal of the Day SUN SAVERS Five savvy ways to make your own delicious jam at home MEGHAN MARKLE's As Ever apricot spread sold out in minutes earlier this month – even though it cost an eye-watering £11. But you can create jam or spread at home for a fraction of that royally high price. 8 Five savvy ways to make your own delicious jam at home Credit: Getty Here's how to do it . . . PACK IT IN: Firstly, get your jars ready. A pack of six jars on costs £11.99, but save any pasta sauce jars and you won't need to spend. Give your recycled jars a wash in hot soapy water before rinsing and leaving to dry. DIY: All you need to make your own apricot-style jam is fresh apricots, £1.69, lemons, 89p, and sugar, £1.75, all Lidl. Pit and crush the apricots and heat in a pan with the juice of one lemon. Add around 400g of sugar and bring the heat up until the sugar all dissolves. Leave on a low heat and stir for 25 minutes. Once it's thickened, add to jars. SETTING SECRETS: No sugar in the cupboard? How to make fluffy scones in the slow cooker during lockdown A cheap way to add sweetness is to grate half a cooking apple into your apricot mixture. Pick one up for around 63p at Tesco. You can also do this if you're making jam with strawberries or blueberries. BUDGET TIP: If you're not up to whipping up your own version of apricot spread, you could cheat. Get a tin of apricot halves in syrup or fruit juice, £1.10, at Sainsbury's, and mash, before spreading on toast. All the flavour for a bargain price. MAKE A BATCH: This is where the savings kick in. Skip apricots and use frozen fruit like Morrisons Wonky Berry mix, £2.99 for 1kg. Add approximately 600g of sugar and juice of two lemons. LABEL OF LOVE: Make like Meghan and give your jam a touch of luxury with handwritten labels cut from brown paper and tie on to your jar lids with string. Instead of HRH, you could write 'MHJ' for 'My Homemade Jam'. All prices on page correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability. 8 Meghan Markle's jam costs an eye-watering £11 Credit: Deal of the day 8 Save £35.01 on a pair of Zero Gravity sun loungers for your garden Credit: Supplied MAKE the most of the sunshine by getting a pair of Zero Gravity sun loungers for your garden.

McDonald's is bringing back fan-favourite Happy Meal with an ultra rare toy
There's something about a McDonald's Happy Meal that turns us all into big kids, no matter our actual age. It's probably something to do with the nostalgia of collecting toys in the 90s and the exciting collabs that keep on launching – like Pokémon and Minecraft. And the latest Happy Meal announcement will undoubtedly be no exception, as the fast food chain has just revealed that a fan-favourite is returning. After two years, Squishmallows are back in the iconic red boxes from July 2, with 15 cute little plushies to collect from the fast food chain. And there's an ultra rare one customers will be hunting for that's not available in any other stores yet. The rarest one you can get is Halley, a never-before-seen Intergalactic Axolotl that's exclusively available in McDonald's meals. Other toys available include a pickle named Charles, a cactus known as Maritza, a cat called Cam, Babs the penguin and Junie the banana. Each Squishmallow toy has its own backstory and 'personality' according to the brand and they have proved incredibly popular in McDonald's branches around the world. The new Squishmallows, including Halley, launched in the US in May, and customers went wild over the toys. They've also recently been available in New Zealand and Australia where they caused a stir too. 'I need them all,' proclaimed @ on Instagram, as @_mysticmack_ said: 'They're so cute!!' Similarly, @ninamarie788 admitted: 'Just left my full-blown adult job to get a Happy Meal.' And @imgianning commented: 'I won't stop until I get them all.' Others branded the Squishmallows the 'best' Happy Meal toys McDonald's have ever had, while some thought they were 'the best toys in a long time'. Little ones will also have the exciting opportunity to meet their favourite Squishmallow characters as two of the most popular, Cam and Patty, will be making special appearances in McDnald's restaurants. During these visits, families can enjoy interactive activieis and collect trading cards. More information can be found at For those who don't want to collect the toys, there's always the option to order a Happy Meal with a book instead. The current book included will be Little People, Big Dreams. And if this weren't exciting enough, this week also sees a brand new item added to the McDonald's menu in the UK. For the first time in 50 years, Maccies is adding a Double Filet-O-Fish to the menu for fans of the quirky burger. More Trending The new product, which will cost £5.29 individually, or £7.39 as part of an Everyday Value Meal, features two Pollock fish patties in crispy breadcrumbs, melted cheese and tartare sauce in a steamed bun. To celebrate the launch, you'll be able to get your hands on the new item for just £2 all day on July 1, when you order via the McDonald's App – which is less than half price. And that's not all, a vintage character is coming out of retirement to celebrate the new burger. Phil A. O'Fish has returned to settle the debate of how to pronounce the product name correctly. View More » So if you've ever wondered if it's Fil-LAY or Fil-LET, there's now an official answer… And we're sorry to say that if you've been saying Fil-LET, you've been getting it wrong, as it's actually Fil-LAY.

"At Jazwares, we're always listening to our fans, and when we learned so many were already using their Squishmallows as pillows, we knew we had to dream up and disrupt the home goods category by developing a branded pillow unlike any other,' said Laura Zebersky, President and Chief Commercial Officer, Jazwares. Here's what to know about SquishPillows, including how and where to get one. Shopping: Your ultimate 4th of July 2025 shopping guide: Epic sales, deals and where to shop now 🎆 SquishPillows, released June 22, can be found at Target stores nationwide and online at A pillowcase is included with every SquishPillow purchase.
