According to our pals over at StarWars.com, porgs—the newest creatures in the Star Wars universe, making their sure-to-be-legendary debut in Star Wars: The Last Jedi—are “small, flat-muzzled avians,” with an inquisitive nature, “that flock about the rocks and roost in the cliffs of Luke Skywalker’s secluded island.” And based on their appearance in the official Last Jedi trailer, they also appear to be seriously tough cookies; honestly, to hang out with the likes of Chewbacca, you’ve gotta be.
We cannot wait to meet them when The Last Jedi rockets into theaters on December 15. However, if you need a porg fix ASAP, we here at D23 figured we’d take a spin through shopDisney.com to discover some of the most unique ways you can acquire one of your very own. (And remember: D23 Gold Members get a special discount, good for 15 percent off purchases of $65 or more.) Porgs are a prodigiously perfect present for under your favorite Star Wars fan’s Christmas tree!

This soft and cuddly plush has a secret—it moves and talks! Your porg will be the hit of Christmas dinner as it waddles and flaps, chirps and chatters across the living room floor.
2. Porgs Cardigan for Women by Her Universe
Ashley Eckstein, who voices Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars Rebels, created her own clothing line (Her Universe) back in 2010… and now, shopDisney has this exclusive—and exclusively cute—lightweight knit cardigan from Ashley’s line, featuring several porgs on the rounded collar. (shopDisney also offers this exclusive Her Universe porg sweater.)

One of the niftiest new features of shopDisney.com is the ability to customize items—and when it comes to porgs, the world is your proverbial oyster! We particularly like this slouchy T-shirt from Bella+Canvas, which is available in granite, vintage white, or soft pink. You can even add text to the front or back!
6. Chewbacca and Porgs Padawan Blanket by Pendleton
Pendleton Woolen Mills, a sixth-generation family-owned business located in Oregon, is known for its incredible blankets, clothing, and other luxury fabrics.

8. Chewbacca and Porgs OtterBox Symmetry iPhone 8/7 Case
Another favorite customizable offering from shopDisney is this iPhone case featuring an adorable tableau of Chewbacca and a pack of doe-eyed porgs. If the Star Wars fan in your life is prone to dropping their mobile device, this would make a great Christmas stocking stuffer.
