25 Gifts for the Golden Girls Fan in Your Life
Updated on Jan. 09, 2025
When it comes to sitcoms, few have had the kind of staying power of the Golden Girls. While some might call it a cult favorite, some reports suggest that the show’s resurgence is far too widespread to be solely due to cult fame (the Nielsen ratings saw a big spike when Betty White died, as well as when the COVID lockdown happened). All this is to say that you’ve probably got a Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, or Sophia in your life.
Lucky for you, if you know someone who frequently finds themselves singing bars of Cindy Fee’s “Thank You for Being a Friend,” you can always rely on a gift inspired by the classic ’80s sitcom to put a smile on their face. There’s no shortage of categories of gifts that owe their creation to the aforementioned show. In fact, this guide alone has a whopping 25 gifts inspired by those sassy gals out of Miami, Florida. Time to break out the cheesecake!
