The Best Gift Ideas for a Great Wolf Lodge Getaway

 

5 Great Pajamas for your Great Wolf Getaway

Coordinating family pajamas, friend pajama sets, or individual sleepwear options are wonderful gifts for your retreat at the lodge. At this particular hotel, wearing your pajamas while strolling around is not just allowed, but it's encouraged during their nighttime dance parties and storytime.


Onesies are the comfy go-to for my tweens and teens and this adorable wolf onesie is perfect for your Great Wolf getaway. It's soft, warm, and cozy.



Lazy One Brand Pajamas: Don't Wake the Bear Design

Lazy One features some of the most entertaining pajama designs available. Their funny designs are delightful and appealing. We love the seasonal patterns for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. They even offer wolf-patterned pajama pants.





Bellabu Bear Santa's Workshop Pajamas

I love Bellabu Bear Pajamas. These are the softest pajamas I own. Their comfortable pajamas are a hit with my entire family (tweens, teens, and adults). They offer pjs for infants, kids, teens, and adults. You can purchase matching family pjs, or a set for friends enjoying a sleepover. The Santa's Workshop design (pictured) is perfect for Snowland at Great Wolf. You'll also find designs featuring your favorite hobbies, interests, characters, and animals.





As a mom of four, I've been a longtime fan of The Children's Place for their comfy clothes and fun designs. Their holiday pajama sets are perfect for a Great Wolf getaway. They even offer sets for the entire family.




Leveret Wolf Pajamas

These two-piece pajama sets from Leveret feature wolves, but you can also find foxes, huskies, reindeer, and moose.


 

5 Cozy Gifts for Your Great Wolf Getaway

A Great Wolf is "one big slumber party." These cozy gifts are perfect for your sleepover at the lodge.



The Aurora brand plush animals are not only beautiful but also incredibly soft to the touch. Measuring approximately 3" x 8" x 4", is perfect for cuddling. The Mini Flopsies line is specifically designed for easy and enjoyable play, as they are meant to lay resting on their belly. For added stability and quality, this plush is filled with bean pellets, making it suitable for all ages.



Wolf Backpack

This adorable Wolf Backpack by Naturally Kids (other animals available as well) is great for young children. The small backpack allows them to keep their favorite toys and gear handy, and the wolf plush is a great pal. This is an easy way to carry your plush around the lodge.







My girls love Ty plush animals. Buff, the Husky Dog, is one of the Original Ty beanie babies. His soft fur and glitter eyes make this one loveable plush.




Wolf Hooded Blanket by Lazy One

In addition to their line of fun pajamas, Lazy One also offers these adorable hooded blankets. Choose from a variety of animals including my daughter's favorite black bear.



Another favorite from Lazy One are these fun paw mittens and slippers. The slippers are super fun to wear at the lodge during dance parties!

 

5 Great Games for Your Great Wolf Getaway

Our family loves game time. We play games multiple times a week and we always take a few faves on our getaways. These are our top picks fitting the "Great Wolf" theme!



Spot It: Camping Edition

Spot It! has been a family favorite for years. This compact card game is easy to pack and fun to play. The fast-paced game challenges players to spot matching symbols between two cards first, perfect for enhancing visual perception and quick-thinking skills. With five ways to play, we love that there are many games in one compact package. The nature-inspired twist on the classic Spot It! gameplay is our family's personal favorite. We take this version on camping trips, Great Wolf getaways, and glamping adventures.





The Game of Wolf

This fun game is collaborative and competitive. Teams pick their pack based on the player's knowledge of the subject or opt to go Lone Wolf for a chance at double the points. This is a trivia game for ages 14+ (based on skill level).




Trekking the National Parks is a blast for fans of the National Parks. It takes about an hour to play this strategy game for 1-5 players ages 10+. The 3rd Edition includes upgraded components, improved artwork, and a new Solo Mode. This game was designed by a family who loves our National Parks and it is a great way to learn more about each location.




Dragonwood: A Game of Dice and Daring

We love Gamewright games! This company offers some of the most affordable, fun, and creative options for family play. Best of all, my girls often ask to play a "quick game" before bed, and their games are perfect for that.

 

One of our family's favorites is Dragonwood. In this game, you collect sets of adventurer cards to earn dice, which you use to roll against your foes. You can stomp on some fire ants, shriek at a grumpy troll, or strike a menacing orange dragon with a magical silver sword. Be sure to choose your strategy carefully because the landscape of Dragonwood is always changing.





Sleeping Queens Game

Another favorite card game by Gamewright, this easy-to-learn game where players play cards to rouse sleeping queens. Players can either discard cards, draw new ones, play actions, and awaken five queens to win or earn the most points. It's an ideal game to play before bedtime and has been a cherished favorite among my daughters for a long time.
