Tips for giving a Grinch
- Pair it with the book. A Grinch plush and a copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas makes a sweet Christmas Eve gift.
- Make a set. Grinch plus Max, or Grinch plus Cindy Lou Who, tells the whole story.
- Go big or go small. A 16-inch Grinch is the main gift; a Palm Pal or clip-on is the stocking stuffer.
- Order early. Grinch plush are some of our most popular holiday items, and some sizes run low in December.
