8 "Friends"-Inspired Gift Ideas That Say "I'll Be There For You"!

Are you shopping for someone who loves the show "Friends" this holiday season? There’s no need to stress over what to get them, because we’ve compiled a list of gifts inspired by the beloved sitcom!

1. Mugs

This may seem obvious, but buy a fun mug for the "Friends" lover in your life. Depending on your budget, you could go to a local store to pick out a cute mug or you can splurge a little extra for a themed one online. You can purchase a Central Perk mug from Etsy that is customized to include your friend’s name. This mug is ordinarily $10.51, but it’s on sale for $8.94 right now. Go get that deal! Target has a wide selection of cute mugs for $5.00 both in person and online. These aren’t directly related to the show, but they’re still a nice and affordable gift.

2. Coasters

A nice gift to pair with a mug is a coaster. Etsy has "Friends"-themed coasters, and you can buy one for $7.88 or a set of six for just under $40. A more subtle option would be this set of wooden coasters from Target. This set of four is available for $12.99.

3. Coffee

An easy idea is to buy a gift card from their favorite coffee shop, but if the person you’re shopping for prefers to make their coffee at home, consider buying them coffee grounds. Walmart sells a 9.6 oz container of Folgers coffee grounds for less than $6! If you’re willing to spend a little extra, consider purchasing coffee from the Awesome Coffee Company. The company offers free shipping, and 100% of proceeds are donated to charity. With that purchase, you can feel good about giving your friend a delicious gift and putting your money in a place where it will have an impact. They offer a one time purchase of a 12 oz bag of coffee grounds or beans for $25.00, or $22.00 for a subscription (every 2, 4, or 8 weeks). 

4. Photo Books

At the core of the show is a lot of heart and good memories. Why not assemble a collection of memories for your own friend? Google Photos has photo books available for $14.99. First, you choose the photos and captions, and then the book is printed and sent to you. It is an easy way to save and share some nice moments.

5. Picture Frame

If you don’t want to assemble an entire photo book, consider buying a picture frame inspired by the iconic frame on Monica’s apartment door. As a sweet touch, you can include a photo, but the frame itself is a cool gift! Amazon has a "Friends" frame listed for $22.99. It is eligible for free shipping and will arrive before Christmas! 

6. DVD Box Set

The box set of DVDs for the show is on sale for $45.09 on Amazon right now and, like the frame, will arrive before Christmas with free shipping.

7. Stickers

A sweet, simple, and inexpensive idea is a sticker related to the show. Etsy has plenty of creative stickers that depict characters and references. Here’s some stickers that are less than $2.00 apiece. If you want a larger quantity for a good deal, here’s a set of ten stickers for $6.76.

8. Magnets

Stickers are fun, but they can be difficult to get use out of if you’re indecisive about where to put them. Another fun and inexpensive idea that remedies the commitment problem is a magnet. Etsy features a wide selection of "Friends"-themed magnets for just $2.50!

Good luck with your shopping endeavors this holiday season! We hope this gift guide sparked some ideas for the "Friends" lover in your life.
