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

Have you (or someone you know) said these phrases more times than you can count? If so, you've been Gilmored! Gilmore Girls is still a popular show (especially during fall and winter)—and thanks to streaming, younger generations are falling in love with the quirky characters of Stars Hollow. From its charming small-town antics to the most iconic mother-daughter relationship on TV, the show just melts our hearts with relatable journeys of love, friends, and family.

It first aired in 2000, which means it's approaching its 25th anniversary this October. To commemorate the milestone, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel presented an award at the 2025 Emmys—and the nostalgic celebrations don't stop there. There's going to be a making-of documentary called Searching For Stars Hollow, the Hallmark Channel started airing reruns in August, and so much new merch has been dropping left and right in honor of the anniversary.

We're talking a now-sold-out Vera Bradley collection (here's hoping for a restock!), Stoney Clover Lane travel essentials and sweatshirts, and even a new official 2025 Gilmore Girls Advent calendar that might just be even better than last year's. (Fair warning: Last year's sold out, so don't wait to get this year's on Amazon.)

Although it's not a fully functional car built by hand by our first love (#teamDean), these presents will still impress every Gilmore Girls fan in your life.
