Where can I buy Pip’s book? Where can I meet Pip? Will I see Pip on my vacation? are questions being asked all around town, so we wanted to make sure we had the answer to that right here for you!
All of our merchandise is always available from our online store or Pip-Up Shops. These are the only two places that you can currently purchase Pip’s book, his Little Pips, or his other items. And in case you haven’t heard- Pip the Beach Cat has started his official summer schedule and it goes as follows (remember we do not bring all of his items with us for meet and greets, so if you see something in the online shop that you want to buy from us when you meet Pip, and it isn’t a book, Pip, or straw set, please let us know so we can be sure to bring it):
