“Love me, feed me, never leave me.” How can you not love Garfield? I was obsessed with Garfield growing up. The Garfield Movie was my favorite thing to watch during the holidays, and I would watch it on repeat for days. I loved Garfield even more because I related so much to him. No, not in the lazy kind of way, but I was and still am obsessed with lasagne, especially my mom’s. Oh, and I can’t stand Mondays.
After the Garfield movies and the series came out, I wanted everything Garfield from the plushies and bedding to the pajamas. So today, I’m excited to share my Garfield plush guide, which includes my favorite Garfield plushies. So let’s get started!
Bottom Line Up Front

Selection Criteria
The following criteria are the same criteria I used to make my plushie recommendations:
Determine what you or your kid likes
It is important to determine what you guys like in a Garfield plush. You can go to Walmart, Target, or any other store that sells plushies and look at the different Garfield’s they sell. You can also scroll online to get some inspiration.
I searched the web for hours to find the cutest Garfield’s that I liked, and that will fit most people’s tastes.
Your budget
Now that you have seen the different Garfield plushies, you need to decide on a price range you are okay with. If the Garfield plush falls out of the budget range, you will need to get something more affordable. Or you will need to save until you can make the purchase.
The plushies I recommended range from affordable to more pricey.
The Appearance
What appearance do you like? Do you like Garfield, who looks like the Garfield series (more animated)? Or do you want a Garfield with a more realistic look like the movie?
I included a variety of options for you to choose from. From different Garfield looks to different brands. You can choose the one that fits your needs.
The Quality
The quality is a very important factor to consider, especially if you are buying this Garfield plushie for a little kid. You want them to play with something of great quality that won’t tear or lose some of its parts. This can be a choking hazard.
If you are buying it for yourself or for someone who collects Garfield plushies, you want it to be of great quality and last for many years. Most of the Garfield plushies mentioned are of excellent quality.
Softness
Softness is another factor to consider because, let’s be honest; no one wants to cuddle a rock. So if you are getting the Garfield plushie for your kid or for yourself for cuddling, then test its softness by squishing it or hugging it.
I made sure to include Garfield options that will give the best soft hugs.
The Size
Decide which size of the Garfield plushies you are looking for. Do you want something small to use as a decoration or that will be easy to travel with? Or do you want something bigger that will be great to cuddle with? I made sure to include a travel buddy, a cuddle buddy, and a Garfield you can use as a decoration. Enjoy!

This Garfield plushie is so cute with his little black t-shirt. The T-shirt definitely gives him more character. On his little t-shirt, it says, “I don’t do perky,” which perfectly describes Garfield. This is because he is only energetic and positive when it comes to naps and lasagna.
It will be a great gift for your friend that loves to be lazy and never has energy. I like to keep this Garfield on my desk. I know this will sound silly, but seeing that he doesn’t have energy motivates me to get productive. He will make a cute addition to your Garfield collection. He might be a bit small to some people, but I think he is the perfect size to travel with.
The only problem I have with this Garfield plushie is that it is very expensive. But I paid the price with a smile because I thought his little T-shirt was adorable.

Alternative Garfield Plushies
You can’t only add Garfield to your plushie collection. It would be best if you got his friends too. So if you are looking for an alternative Garfield plush, here are some cute options.
Pooky Bear Plush Toy
Pookie is not only Garfield’s cute little brown teddy, but he is also Garfield’s best friend. The pair is inseparable! So when you buy a Garfield plush, please get Pookie too. You don’t want your Garfield plush to be even sadder and more depressed when he is with you.
This Pookie bear is soft and from the official Garfield brand. Another reason you need to add him to your collection.
Garfield Nermal Medium Plush
We all know Nermal as the “cute” cat in town and that he annoys Garfield and Odie occasionally. Garfield is also jealous of Nermal because John thinks of him as the “world’s cutest kitten.” You might be thinking, why do you want me to add the cat to my collection that makes Garfield jealous and annoys him? Sometimes jealousy is needed and is what drives some people or, in this case, cats.
This cute little kitty will be a great addition to your collection. Just keep an eye on the 3 of them so things don’t get out of hand.
Odie Plush Toy 12 Inches
You have to add Odie to your collection. Yes, Garfield gets annoyed with him because he thinks Odie is stupid. But what will Garfield be without his caring dog brother? Add some brotherly love to your collection and get this cute Odie plush. Your Garfield might not be happy at first, but in the end, he will be pleased that you added someone who loves and cares about him.
My Special Garfield
I just had to include one of my Garfield plushies, as he has an extraordinary story. My dad gifted this plushie to my mom when they first started dating in the early 90s. Thirty years later, their love is still strong, and they have an unbreakable bond. This little guy is still part of the family, and my mom gifted him to me a few years back. Even though he is older than me, I will cherish him forever. He holds a special place in my heart and my parent’s hearts.
Oh, and if you are wondering why there is a pink stain on his lips, that was me. Jip, I smeared lipstick on him when I was a kid. But now it just gives him more character. Now it’s part of my parents’ story and mine.
