What's He Thinking?

Dibs never says a word. So YOU tell us!

  • “It fit on the way OUT.”
  • “Plan B: live out here now.”
  • “I regret nothing. Except this.”

Hi! We're the Griswolds.

Dibs is made by Steve and Lisa Griswold in Canton, Georgia. We spend our days sending families on vacation, and we wanted to make something that makes kids (and grown-ups) laugh out loud.

Almost everything Dibs does, a real hamster does too: stuffing his cheeks, zooming at 3am, and finding the warmest spot in the house. We just made him a little bit braver.
