17 Gift Ideas For Fans Of Friends – Treat Your Lobster

Live up to the 'I'll Be There For You' theme tune by treating a Friends fan to a gift that will remind them of their favourite TV show.

Anyone who was around in the 1990s will remember just how big Friends the TV show was.

As millions and millions of people around the world would tune in religiously each week to check in with Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe.

And the appeal of the show hasn't wavered over the years, despite the final episode airing nearly 20 years ago.

So if you have a loved one that is forever watching reruns of Friends and loving them just as much as the first time around, how about getting them a gift related to the show.

As the following gift ideas for Friends fans are all ones that any Friends aficionado would love to receive.

1. A Coffee Mug From The One And Only Central Perk

The Friends TV show revolved around the 6 main characters hanging out on the big orange couch at their local New York coffee shop, Central Perk.

So our first gift idea for any fan of Friends is to get them their own Central Perk coffee mug.

As this way they can imagine they are having their morning coffee served by Rachel and surrounded by their favourites.

2. A Central Perk Cookie Jar For Their Sweet Treats

No cup of coffee or tea is complete without a little sweet treat to go with it.

So the Central Perk cookie jar is another gift idea that can take pride of place in the kitchen of a Friends fan.

Giving them a place to store all their goodies and keep them fresh.

3. A Friends Travel Coffee Mug For Drinks On The Go

It's great to have the luxury of being able to have your morning coffee at home, however some people have to grab one on the go on their commute to work.

So a gift that can work for a Friends fan who is always rushing out the door in the morning is to get them the Friends Central Perk travel mug.

As this way they can have their coffee while sat on the train or in the car, and the Central Perk logo will let everyone know what their favourite show is!

4. A Friends T-Shirt That Can Help Them Score!

A t-shirt always works well when given as a gift, and there are loads of Friends designs to choose from with logos, quotes, and prints of the characters on them.

However, my choice would be the one featuring the famous Joey saying 'How You Doin?'.

As not only will they be representing the show when wearing this, they might even be able to use it as an ice breaker to talk to someone they fancy.

5. A Romantic Lobster Cuddly Toy

If you're buying a Friends gift for your significant other and want to make it romantic, then how about the You're My Lobster plush toy.

As not only is it cute, it features Phoebe's famous line that lets any Friends fan know that you think they are the only one for you.

So you'll be onto a winner with this one.

6. A Marcel The Monkey Lookalike Stuffed Toy

Ross' pet monkey Marcel was a big staple of the show in the first season of Friends, often with hilarious results.

So if you want a Friends gift that is a little out of left field, then how about getting them a plush toy of the same breed of monkey.

As the Wild Republic Capuchin plush toy is the spitting image of Marcel, and would look perfect balanced on their shoulder!

7. Funko Pop Figures Of The Friends Cast

Funko Pop! make figures or TV show characters that are highly collectible, and they have a few versions of the cast of Friends too.

So one of these would make for a lovely gift for a Friends fan that is into collecting memorabilia from the show.

However, as the show is so popular they can be hard to find, especially for the main characters, but this one of Gunther the manager at Central Perk would be a great choice as well.

8. A Friends Themed Board Game

Board games are another thing that always make for good gifts, especially around Christmas time when you have the whole family around.

And there are plenty of Friends themed versions of classic board games to keep fans of the show happy, such as the Monopoly: Friends edition.

While some other options are the Trivial Pursuit: Friends edition and the Friends TV show ultimate trivia quiz.

9. A Lego Kit Of The Friends Set

Lego sets are another enjoyable gift to receive, as the process of putting them together is both satisfying and therapeutic.

So why not get a Friends fan the Friends Central Perk Lego set this Christmas.

As they can then recreate their favourite coffee shop over the holiday season, and put their favourite characters in their rightful place too.

10. A Friends Jigsaw Puzzle To Piece Together

If your Friends fan is more into jigsaws than Lego, then there a plenty of Friends themed jigsaw puzzles to choose from as a gift too.

With our choice being the Friends TV Show collage jigsaw puzzle above, which features all the main cast members and some classic scenes from the show.

11. A Friends Desk Mat For Their Home Office

With so many of us working from home nowadays, the following gift idea could be a very useful one for fans of Friends.

As the Friends logo desk mat would be the ideal addition to their home office.

Because it's the perfect size to house their keyboard, mouse, and any coffee cups, protecting their desks from scratches and stains.

12. A Central Perk Sign To Hang In Their Kitchen

Another fun gift idea for the home of a Friends fan would be to get them the Open Roads Brands Central Perk wall sign.

As this wooden sign with the famous Central Perk logo can hang proudly either in their kitchen or elsewhere, reminding them of the show and being a talking point whenever visitors come around.

13. A Book Covering All Their Favourite Episodes

A book related to the Friend TV show or by one of the cast members would work well as a gift for a Friends fan.

With my choice being Friends Forever: The One About The Episodes.

As this book was released as part of the Friends 25th anniversary celebrations and features plenty of behind the scenes info from the show, such as episode guides, interviews, and unseen photos.

So it has plenty of good stuff for a Friends fan to get their teeth into.

14. Every Episode Of Friends On DVD

A true Friends super fan will probably know every episode of the show by heart.

However, getting them the Complete Series on DVD is still a top gift idea, as this way they can always play any classic episode of the show at any time,

And they'll have them all forever to enjoy whenever they need their Friends fix.

15. A Friends Themed Ornament For The Christmas Tree

The next gift idea can work great as an early Christmas gift to help a loved one decorate their Christmas tree, and that is to get them a Friends related tree ornament.

And my favourite is the one above of the famous orange couch from Central Perk.

As this will take center stage on their tree, and bring a bit of Friends style to the holiday season.

16. A Friends Bath And Body Advent Calendar

Another gift idea for a Friends fan around the holiday season is to get them a Friends themed advent calendar.

And a good option for this is the Central Perk 12 days of bath advent calendar.

As this is filled with bath and body goodies such as bath salts, body washes, lip balms, hand creams and the like, with a new treat every day.

17. A Visit To Central Perk And The Friends Apartments

What better gift could you get a super fan of Friends than to allow them to step inside their favourite show.

Because with tickets to the Friends Experience that is exactly what they can do.

As they'll get to walk around and explore the set recreations of both Friends apartments, Central Perk, and even the water fountain from the opening credits.

So they'll have the time of their life and get some great photos of themselves in some very familiar places to boot.

Rounding Up

Friends was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, TV shows of it's time and it continues to be popular today.

So if you know a Friends super fan, getting them a gift related to the show is a great idea.

And I hope you've found something suitable among the gift ideas for Friends fans that I've given you here.
