13 Gifts For 'Gilmore Girls' Fans

by Caroline Gerdes

Before you go to the Chat Club and buy a toiletry kit for that special someone this holiday season, don’t. Don’t give gifts like Luke Danes this Christmas. Give like a Lorelai. Find that perfect present and wrap it up in a snazzy bowtie. If you happen to be looking for a gift for someone who understands the first few sentences of this article, then this may be the perfect gift guide for you. I’ve compiled a Gilmore Girls gift guide for every Lorelai, Rory, and Emily on your list this year.

Since Gilmore Girls aired 16 years ago, went into syndication, hit DVD, started streaming on Netflix, and rebooted with Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, there are generations of Gilmore Girls fans. Every year more people discover the show. And now, all fans (old and new) are still binging or reeling over the recent Netflix revival. When it comes to Gilmore Girls fans, it isn’t one size fits all. But, the reboot is the perfect excuse to revisit Stars Hollow this holiday season with Gilmore-inspired gifts for every fan. Here is a list of 11 of the best Gilmore Girls themed gifts you can find online. Trust me, these items won’t be exchanged for a pornographic monkey lamp.
