31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS (2020): Ten Great Grinch Coffee Mugs

Ten Great Grinch Coffee Mugs

Everyone knows Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and anyone who knows and loves the classic Christmas story will want to add one of these fun coffee mugs to their collection.

THE STORY & HISTORY

The Grinch Who Stoles Christmas lives alone near a fictional town named Whoville. He hates both the people who live there and Christmas. In the town lives a little girl named Cindy Lou Who who loves Christmas and the spirit of Christmas and goes about trying to reform the Grinch.

The story has seen many versions but was first published in 1957 as both a book and a magazine story.  It became an animated cartoon on television through the now classic television special starring the voice of Boris Karloff in 1966. In 2000, there was a live action version starring Jim Carrey.  In 2007, it was made into a musical. In 2018, it was released again as an animated version starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Finally, in 2020, it was released once more as an animated movie starring Matthew Morrison. 

THE COFFEE MUGS


I did not have to look far to find some interesting Grinch-themed coffee mugs and I am happy to share them here as number 14 in my 31 Days of Coffee Mugs series. You'll find cups here by Dept. 56, Vandor, Williams Sonoma and Lohtu Ceramics. 

DEPARTMENT 56 MUGS


Department 56's The Grinch Coffee Mugs

Shown above are three fun Department 56 Grinch coffee mugs. If you'd like a collection of similar but different mugs, this series would be a great choice and these three are just a few from the series. 

I am amazed at how many Grinch-themed mugs Dept. 56 has made. The Grinch mugs shown below including the hand gripping the coffee mug and the mug with all of the grumpy text are also by Department 56.  Find all of Amazon's Department 56 Grinch-themed mugs here.

VANDOR GRINCH COFFEE MUGS


Shown below are two of Vandor's recent Grinch-themed mugs. Vandor has created a number of uniquely barrel shaped mugs that include the Naughty or Nice mug and the face shaped or sculpted mug shown below them. You will find all of Amazon's Vandor Grinch mugs here.

WILLIAMS SONOMA GRINCH MUG


I also found this more classically styled Grinch mug from Williams Sonoma. I gather that it was a part of that company's line of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas items, which has been discontinued. If you'd like to add this mug to your collection, you'll have to use eBay's Saved Search feature and wait for one to show up. Meanwhile, you can see if one is available and check out Williams Sonoma's complete Grinch line by clicking here to eBay.

GRINCH MUGS ON EBAY


Once a mug is retired, like the Williams Sonoma one shown above or the Vandor Merry Grinchmas one shown below, eBay is a great source. Click here to see the Vandor Grinch mugs on eBay.

VINTAGE GRINCH MUGS

I looked for vintage Grinch coffee mugs and was unable to find any older pieces. It would appears that famous franchises like this one were not producing movie merchandise in support of their endeavors in the 1950s and 1960s.  However, there is a Hallmark Grinch mug that is somewhat vintage that is available on eBay. If you're after the Hallmark Grinch mug, you will find it here on eBay.

ART POTTERY GRINCH GREEN MUGS

The final mug that I will share with you here today is a beautiful handmade art pottery mug from Etsy. It is for those who want to have a mug in the color of the Grinch but that that is a little more subtle in design. I love all of the mugs on this page but this is, in my opinion, the nicest one. If you appreciate a handcrafted piece of pottery like this one, you will find it on Esty in Lohtu Ceramics' store by clicking right here. Lohtu calls the color moss green but I think it is a great substitute for Grinch green, too! Of course, if it is not green you are after, Lohtu makes this mug, which is dishwasher and microwave safe, in a variety of other very nice colors. How to pick just one?
