Lots of questions about NeeDohs from folks who missed last week’s launch or who didn’t realize we’ve carried them for over a year, ever since we started our Tiny Toy Store!

Here’s how to make sure you get the memo next time:

❤️Like & Follow our page on FB and/or Instagram. Be sure to interact (like posts, watch videos), so the algorithm knows you’re interested, otherwise it’ll hide us.
💛Sign up for our email newsletter (and drag us to your primary inbox so your filters don’t catch it!)…next time we do a launch, we’ll announce via email as well, because we know not everyone uses social media regularly or at all! Our email insiders sometimes get special deals!

FAQ’s:
💚We are currently sold out of NeeDohs. We have thousands on order but we’re at the mercy of when/what the factory will ship. They are putting limits on how much they ship (which we appreciate, so that the little stores like ours can still get some!)
🩵 We still have some regular and slow-rise dumplings! (Currently obsessed with the slow-rise!)
💙 We always have lots of various squishies on hand, shipments weekly!
💜 Butters coming back soon!

Huge thanks to all our longtime loyal customers AND those who are just now stopping in because of the squishy craze! We hope you’ll love our little shop as much as we do, browse through all our little rooms and discover all we have to offer! Thank you for supporting small & local. YOU keep US going!
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Summer Saturdays are the perfect time to stroll through downtown Albert Lea! 🔅🥰 Take the kids out for breakfast or meet a friend for a coffee downtown...hit up the Farmer's Market...stroll through all our downtown shops...grab a late lunch or a drink on the sidewalk patio...so many fun possibilities to make a day of it in downtown Albert Lea!

Minnesota nice is alive and well in Albert Lea!
🥰
We couldn’t be prouder of how patient and gracious everyone was at today’s NeeDoh launch (just like the last two times!)
Dozens of people excitedly stood in line for an hour before opening time, and were grateful for today’s “15-shoppers-at-a-time” plan for maximum fun with minimal frenzy! We heard many “this is better than Black Friday” comments! Shoppers were so understanding of our quantity limits on each item too, respecting our wishes to make sure as many kids as possible could share the fun!
Thank you all for loving louder in this way, setting a great example for your kids, and supporting our small family business! 💗💚💜🩵
