The Grinch Who-ville Gingerbread House Kit (Basic)

too small

Received broken

It was a bit difficult to get all of the pieces to fit perfectly together, even when using a hot glue gun. And some of the candy was very tiny and difficult to manipulate even for adults supervising the activity. It turned out very cute though and I would buy again!

First let me say I wish there was an option for NO STARS! This is by far, without a doubt, the worst Amazon purchase I have made. I wish I had read the reviews and not been suckered in to the cuteness of a Who-Ville Gingerbread house. This is not a house! It is a front, two sides 1/3 the height of the front— no top, no back. It’s not a house at all. It came in a crushed box with the three pieces, ten mini gummies I could swallow at the same time they are so tiny, and one tablespoon of sprinkles. There are non-perforated characters I’m sure you are supposed to set outside it or something? It’s horrific. And the kicker — the best part, is that in the upper corner of the box (not a sticker, made into the design) is a $10 BIG LOTS. Well, no wonder it’s crap. I contacted a friend who bought the same house on Amazon and received the exact same crap. There’s no other word to describe this! Do yourself a favor and buy a regular $8-10 gingerbread house. If you truly want it to look like Who-Ville, Pinterest away. There are tons of ideas that may cost you $2-3. And it would be a real house. Not a front and two 1/3 sides. This is also a non returnable item, even though the product is not as advertised. Do NOT BE AS FOOLED as I was, as I pictured this adorable night watching the Grinch in Grinch PJs and creating Who-vile! What a sucker I was. You’ve been warned.

When I opened the package the whole gingerbread house was in pieces.

the gingerbread was broken

Mine turned out awesome! The two story piece arrived broken down the middle but that was quickly remedied with an icing glue. I’m no artist but I had a ton of fun! If yours arrived unusable, contact amazon and let them know you didn’t receive what you paid for.

I thought this would be fun for my kids and it would have been if all of the pieces had come with it. Both the piping bag and tray for the house pieces to sit on were not in the box. The tray was the most crucial part because without it, the house doesn’t stand which was a huge disappointment.
