  • "I smell snow."
  • "Why did you drop out of Yale?"
  • "I need coffee in an IV."

Have you or someone you know said the above phrases more times than you can count? If so, you've been Gilmored. The original show has been off the air for nearly 20 years, while the reboot is inching its way to its 10-year anniversary (please let there be a reboot of the reboot). But what does time matter? In 2023, Gilmore Girls was still one of the top shows streamed on Netflix. We can argue about why people love watching (and rewatching), but we rather just look at these cute Gilmore Girls-inspired gifts for fans.

One thing about the Gilmore girls? They always had the cutest PJs. Well, at least they did in the early seasons. And while we couldn't find I Love Lucy pajamas or an ice cream-themed set, these certainly will do. (If you want something close to the puppies Lorelai wears in the revival, they are here).

Editor’s Choice
Stars Hollow: An Adult Coloring and Activity Book

Another great activity to do while you're watching for the 100th time. Traditional coloring pages are included, but you'll also find crossword and jumble pages for extra fun. Fair warning, though, if you're like me, you'll spend hours trying to make the drawings look exactly like that real thing.
