A Totally Fly 90s Holiday Gift Guide

If you’ve got a few millennials and Gen Xers on your holiday list this year, you should find gifts that, like, ya know, speak to them. This totally dope holiday gift guide features little pieces of 90s nostalgia that will take your holiday shopping from bland to boo ya! Add these to your online shopping list and get them with Cash Back at Ebates.

Jazz Solo Cup Shirt

OMG remember these cups?! If you ever went to a mall food court and asked for a cup for water then totally filled it with soda instead, this iconic print was staring you straight in the eye as you committed beverage theft.

“As If” Wall Print

This gift is actually a pretty useful tool. Let’s say your giftee has some friends over and they get into a heated discussion on which was the best high school movie of the 90s. When someone blurts out Can’t Hardly Wait or She’s All That, all your friend need do is point at this lovely wall print. *Mic drop*

Bayside Tigers Tee

Remind your giftee that you’ll be “friends forever” with this Bayside High sweatshirt as worn by the megababes on Saved by the Bell. Whether they were a jock or a Screech back in the day, they will appreciate this little bit of (fictional) school spirit.

Whatever Necklace

Remind them of a simpler time when you could convey your disgust and sarcasm with one non-offensive hand gesture. This little necklace will tell everyone around them that they have eyes and are not afraid to roll them.

Poké Ball Dress

Geo-print dress or perhaps the best cartoon reference ever? Gotta catch all the stares with this adorable Poké Ball skater dress.

As If! : The Oral History of Clueless

Know to complete story behind the legend. Celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Clueless with this book including original interviews with writer and director Amy Heckerling and key cast members.

Saved by the Bell Boardgame

Game night just got a little more excellent. Time warp yourself back to the fun of Bayside High with Zack, Screech, Lisa, Kelly, Jessie and AC from the hit television series, Saved by the Bell. Try to play three “pranks” on the other players, then go out on a special date to win! *cue audience woooooooos*

Whatever: The 90s Pop & Culture Box

Stop. Hammer Time. This seven-CD box set has 528 minutes and 41 seconds of all the songs you forgot you loved, from Can’t Touch This to Cumbersome. And now you have Cumbersome stuck in your head. You’re welcome.

Beverly Hills 90210 Perfume

Smell the sweet scent of being filthy rich with a bottle of 90210 perfume! Make your giftee feel like a Kelly in a world full of Brendas with vibrant blend of floral notes.

Seinfeld Festivus Mug

You won’t have to endure any airing of grievances over this gift, perfect for any Seinfeld enthusiast on your list. Oh, they’ve never seen Seinfeld? What IS the deal?

A Sexy Poster of The Hoff

Don’t you worry. It’s going to be alright. Because he’s always ready. He won’t let you out of his sight. Commemorate the greatest era in acting history with this tantalizing David Hasselhoff poster from Baywatch.

Mortal Kombat Pog Earrings

This is a twofer, guys. Mortal Kombat AND pogs?! Could these handmade earrings be the most 90s gift of them all? We think so.

White Elephant Gifts People Will Actually Like

Ahh the exchange of the controversial white elephant gift. Why is it controversial? Because there are so many directions you can possibly go, from silly to slightly sick, the reactions can vary greatly. Plus at the end of it all, you don’t know who’s going to end up with what and people still somehow take it personally.

And when good intentions go awry, look out. That fake vomit that was sure to get some giggles out of your cubemate is not scoring you any points with Sandy from accounting…who’s pregnant…with twins.

So yes, white elephant gift ideas are worth a little brainstorming. Let us help you hit a home run with our white elephant holiday gift guide chock-full of safe yet fun and unique gifts (with Cash Back at Ebates) that your giftees will actually use and not just re-gift to their worst frenemie.

DIY Rubber Duck

Bring out their inner artist with this adorable paint-your-own duck kit. Yes, this may be a kid gift but if it lands on someone with kids of their own, you just saved them the cost of a stocking stuffer!

3-D Cats Playing Cards

Add a little cat fancy to their full house. Most people could use a deck or two of playing cards but pretty much everyone could use some 3-D kitties in their life.

Muffin Top Baking Cups

Silicone baking cups are extremely handy, especially if you just want to bake a couple of treats and not feed a small army. These cups come with a sense of humor AND a subtle reminder to moderate your holiday carbs.

Luchador Bottle Opener

Beat that bottle of brew into submission with your very own mini masked wrestler. Cracking open a Coke never felt so victorious.

Dog Butt Magnet Set

We realize that a butt may not be the most favorite part of a dog, but they certainly look adorable holding up photos and reminders on your refrigerator.

Moose Mug

Even if you’re never seen National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, this is still a cute piece for holiday parties. Chugging nog has never looked so kitschy.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Kit

The ugliest sweaters are the ones we make ourselves but who has time to go to an actual craft store for supplies and a second-hand store for a cheap sweater? Save them two trips and a lot of sanity with this festive DIY kit.

Log Pillow

Sleep like a log, on a log. This plush pillow only looks rough around the edges and will hopefully go to someone who has an affinity for rustic home decor.

Public Pay Phone iPhone 6 Case

It makes your phone look like a phone, get it? This iPhone case will have them nostalgic for the days of dial-up and Hammer pants.

Elephant Head Wall Decor

Alas, no white elephant gift guide would be complete without a literal white elephant. However, we thought this piece of wall art was actually quite elegant and a nice alternative to that lame porcelain figurine you were thinking of getting for the same ironic effect. Put it down. Back away.

And as always, these amazing gifts for writers come with Cash Back at Ebates.

Writer’s Block Journal

See what they did there? This punny notebook will help your them journal through those rough patches when they can’t seem to string a single sentence together without hitting delete a million times.

Guide to Literary Agents 2016

Keep it practical and show your support with this complete guide to scoring their very own literary agent. This shows way more confidence in their life choices than a gift card to Red Lobster.

iCyberry Laser Projection Keyboard

There is nothing worse than having a flood of brilliance come to you, only to find your only way of capturing it is with your smartphone. This projection keyboard is portable so you can turn any Starbucks table into a writer’s den.

Shirt of Encouragement

Being a professional writer (or aspiring to be one) is rough stuff, guys. Any form of support is crucial. Help them be their own cheerleader with this clever tee so they can look in the mirror and tell the reflection,
“I got this…Also it’s laundry day.”

Book Cover Phone Case

It may be just a clever phone case, but it also gives them the gift of their dreams–their name on a hard cover. Plus, how smart will they look while crushing candy on their morning commute?

Kate Spade New York Quotes Pen Set

Add a little flare to their work space with these playful Kate Spade pens featuring the sayings From The Desk Of, So Well Composed, To Whom It May Concern, Yours Sincerely and What’s The Word.

1928 Pen Necklace

The pen is mightier than the sword AND it makes a far better accessory. This opulent necklace from 1928 Jewelry will give their look a vintage yet functional touch. She’ll never be put on the spot when asked for an autograph now.
