July 17: Minions Fun

July 17: Minions Fun

On July 10th, the Minions movie hits theaters nationwide. In celebration of the return of our favorite yellow friends, we’ll be hosting a Minions Fun event on July 17th. Our young customers will attend Villain-Con in our stores, searching for the biggest, baddest villain to follow. (All Minions need a despicable villain to follow!) Children will also learn some Minion Banana Language, get their own Minions Goggles, receive a Villain-Con Villains! Map, a Choose Your Villain! sticker sheet, and color a cast of villain characters. Contact your local store to sign up. And before the event begins, pick up these adorable products, sure to delight Minions fans young and old.

One Mystery Mini: Despicable Me
Order one of these windowless mystery boxes, and you won’t know who’s inside till you open it up. It could be a Minion, a Gru sister, Eduardo Perez in a luchador mask, Agnes’ stuffed unicorn, or another one of your favorite Despicable friends. We would call this the work of an evil villain, except that with such an array of awesome characters, everyone will feel like a winner.

Hula Minion
A Minion is cute, but a Minion who’s ready for a luau is beyond adorable. This 3 ¾” little vinyl henchman may not be ready to take over the world, but he’s sure ready to party, with a lei on his head, a coconut-shell bikini, and a little grass skirt. Hold him in your hand and we think you’ll be ready to party, too.

Cro-Minion Bob
We know Minions have been around since the dawn of time—and to be honest, they haven’t evolved much since then. Cro-Minion Bob is just as short, brutish, and lovable as his modern-day brethren.

Minions Funtainer Thermal Bottle by Thermos
The Minions may not always be able to help with your evil plans, but now they can always help keep you hydrated. This 12-ounce cooler, featuring Bob and Kevin, is stainless steel and BPA free, with a pop-up straw and integrated handle. Like revenge, some drinks are best served cold, and this one will keep your drinks nice and cool for up to 12 hours.

Minions Funtainer Thermal Food Jar by Thermos
You can’t do much scheming on an empty belly, and this 10-ounce food jar ensures that your snacks will stay at the temperature you want them. Made of double-wall vacuumed stainless steel, it keeps its contents cold for up to 7 hours, or warm for up to 5 hours. And with adorable Stuart playing his guitar on the outside, you’ll never want to snack without it.
