Gift Guide: Gifts for Everyone on Your List—Inspired by Gilmore girls
“Well, well, well. A Birkin bag. A Birkin bag. A Birkin bag for Rory.”
Ever stare at your gift list and think, “How on earth am I supposed to find the perfect gift for everyone?” Between friends who seem to have everything, family members with very particular tastes, and coworkers you barely know, holiday shopping can feel impossible. Luckily, if your friends and family lived in Stars Hollow, picking something thoughtful (and fun!) would be a little easier — because each personality there is so distinct. And while most of us aren’t Logan Huntzberger and can’t get our significant other a Birkin, there are tons of other great gifts out there we can add to the shopping list.
Whether you’re shopping for a witty, caffeine-fueled Lorelai, a bookworm like Rory, a kitchen-obsessed Sookie, or a steady, no-nonsense Luke in your life, I’ve created a list of gifts that fit each personality perfectly. And I didn’t forget the music-loving Lanes or the elegant Emilys and Richards — there’s something for every personality on your list. From cozy mugs and books to kitchen gadgets and classy accessories, these are gifts inspired by everyone’s favorite Stars Hollow residents. So grab your favorite latte, throw on your cozy cardigan, and let’s find the perfect gifts for all your Gilmore girls–inspired friends and family this season.
Okay, let’s get into it! Whether you’re shopping for your mom, best friend, or significant other, here are all sorts of gifts for everyone on your list:
