When you're a big name like Mario Lopez, you'd think holiday shopping might involve some swanky Beverly Hills boutiques. But nope! This time, the 'Saved by the Bell' star was spotted doing what any savvy shopper would do – hitting up Target, of course. With his adorable son Santino in tow, Mario was seen pushing a shopping cart loaded with none other than the ever-popular Squishmallows.
It seems Mario has quite the soft spot for these cuddly creatures. His cart was brimming with Squishmallows of all sizes, including a massive one almost as big as Santino himself! From plushies to a Squishmallows card game and even a Squishmallows pillow, it was clear that Mario was stocking up for a group of lucky kids.
“Mario Lopez loves Squishmallows. (But, really, who doesn't?)”
The scene in the Los Angeles Target looked like it could have been straight out of an ad, with perfectly arranged products and impeccable lighting. While we can't confirm if it was a paid campaign, it's safe to say the Squishmallows were stealing the spotlight.
If you're inspired by Mario’s Squishmallow stash, you're in luck! Target has a treasure trove of these squishy delights. While we couldn't find the oversized Grinch Squishmallow there, Mario's cart had plenty of other squeezable options. From the 4" Holiday Mystery Capsule plushies for $6 to the 12-inch Sol Skunk Ornament at $13, there's something for every Squishmallow enthusiast.
For those looking to add a little holiday cheer, Target offers a Hello Kitty Christmas Gingerbread Squishmallow for $20, and a Buddy the Elf Little Plush for $10. While the oversized Grinch was MIA at Target, a trip to Costco could save the day for those hunting for the perfect gift this season.
