Grinch Pajamas
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
If Dr. Seuss were alive today, do you think he'd own a pair of Grinch pajamas? Maybe a robe or a pair of slippers adorned with the Who-hating grouch would be part of his wardrobe. Chances are that Dr. Seuss, aka Ted Geisel, would have proudly worn some comfy loungewear if it displayed a likeness of the Grinch. The truth is, while character pajamas are extremely popular, sleepwear embellished with the Grinch's likeness is a little more difficult to find.
Who is the Grinch?
The Grinch is a fictional character created in the 1950s by world-renowned children's author Dr. Seuss. His likeness -- which is a mix of human and ogre -- first appeared in the book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, which later became a popular holiday television special by the same name. The Grinch has a very unpleasant personality. His goal is to sabotage Christmas for everyone living in Whoville. Instead, he learns the true meaning of the holiday. Several more holiday specials were born from this original flick, including Halloween is Grinch Night and The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat. In 2000, acclaimed-actor Jim Carey took on the title role in a remake of this children's movie.
About Grinch Pajamas
Character pajamas in general are pretty popular for children and adults alike, and the Grinch should be no exception -- but it is. However, with a little ingenuity and creativity, you can turn an ordinary piece of Grinch clothing into sleepwear.
Not only women love Grinch pajamas -- real men wear them too! Maybe it's because the Grinch is a character they remember from their childhood or because it's one with whom they can relate. Whatever the reason, I'm sure almost any guy or gal would like a pair of these jammies. Grinch pajamas and clothing come in a few styles including:
- Cotton boxers: While not necessarily labeled as Grinch pajamas, almost all guys sleep in their underwear, so why not wear some boxers? Hatful of Seuss has several styles of Grinch boxers including some with his dog, Max, on them. During the colder weather months, you may be able to find flannel boxers with the Grinch's likeness on them. And since women like wearing men's boxers to bed, these are perfect for her too.
- Men's t-shirts: Grinch t-shirts are easy to find. Fun to Collect has a great shirt that reads, "You're a Sly One Mr. Grinch." This would be comfy to lounge in with a pair of the aforementioned boxers. For the ladies, just order a size or two larger than you think you would normally wear, and you will have an instant nightshirt. Other Grinch t-shirts can be found at:
- Women's sleep shirts: Clothing Buzz has a baseball-style, long-sleeved Grinch sleep shirt available. This will also match great with a pair of boxers or a pair of novelty panties for comfy sleepwear.
- Bath robes: The Pajama Company sells a cozy Grinch bath robe for women. Albeit a bit pricey at $79.99, you will definitely cherish this one-of-a-kind item.
- Slippers: Match your bath robe with a pair of these comfy Grinch slippers. Stuff-tique has a great pair of Grinch house shoes. Even eBay has a cute fuzzy pair of slippers available.
Make Your Own Grinch Pajamas
OK, so it isn't that easy to find Grinch pajamas -- but you can always find Grinch fabric to make your own jammies. Again, eBay may be one of your best bets to find a variety of material (and the amount) needed to make some Grinch pajamas. But take your time perusing eBay; you will find something there you can't find anywhere else.

If Grinch pajamas aren't your thing, but you still want to wear the grouchy character close to your heart, there are several other styles of Grinch clothing you can wear:
Final Thought
Summertime is probably not the time of year to be looking for Grinch pajamas. You will most likely have better luck closer to the holidays when merchandisers will be retailing more items relating to Christmas characters such as the Grinch.
