He’s a mean one, but The Grinch is also a Christmas icon. Dr. Seuss’s 1957 book first inspired a 1966 TV special then a movie in 2000 starring Jim Carrey, and most recently, a 2018 animated film in which Benedict Cumberbatch voices the Christmas killjoy. Carrey’s commitment to bringing The Grinch to life remains unprecedented: it took the actor eight and a half hours to get into costume, and in order to make that tolerable, a CIA operative taught him how to overcome torture. The makeup job paid off: the movie became the top grossing film domestically in 2000 and earned makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji an Oscar the following year.
The 2018 version landed in the top 10 grossing movies of the year, too, and inspired NBC to put on a live, televised staging of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” starring Matthew Morrison in 2020. No matter which version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” you fell in love with, as December 25th grows closer, the green grump, his best pal Max and the Whos of Whoville will likely grace your screen or your speakers. Read on for a roundup of the best Grinch goodies that you’ll absolutely want to touch with a 39-and-a-half foot pole.
The Grinch wanted all the Whos presents to be missing when they looked under their trees on December 25th — but that doesn’t mean fans of the movie should miss out, too. Get to the root of what makes his heart so small when you dissect Mr. Grinch in a game of Operation, or cuddle up to a sweet stuffed Grinch. Make your dog feel like Max on Christmas morning with his very own Grinch dog toy.
Look as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel in this Grinch garb, or even dress up as the big guy in green in the official Spirit Halloween costume. Get the whole family in matching PJs for a movie marathon or to open presents on Christmas morning with a Walmart set that even has an option for Fido. Go festive down to your toes with Grinch sneakers from Arcticfootwear and comfy slippers withThe Grinch’s foul face on them for when you’re curled up on the couch with your canine bestie.
Make your home look like it belongs on the top of Mount Crumpit with a Christmas tree that appears to have been stuffed through the chimney and a Hallmark tree topper of the Grinch caught in the act. Deck the halls with a Grinch ornament and put your bah-humbug spirit on display outside with a doormat and a lawn inflatable of Little Grinch from the 2018 animated movie.
You’ll guarantee that the recipient’s heart grows three sizes when they receive one of these Grinchy gifts. Take The Grinch on the go with a stainless steel tumbler or light his bad attitude on fire with a candle from Williams Sonoma. Despite The Grinch’s complaints, he’ll be a real treat with a treat bowl from Pottery Barn.
