With its debut in 1992, it’s really no surprise that the Golden Girls became a pillar in pop culture. The Girls quickly garnered a cult following (Are you a Blanche Devereaux, Dorothy Zbornak, Rose Nylund, or Sophia Petrillo?) whose members remain as enthusiastic now as they were 30 years ago.
So if you know a GG fan (or that fan is you!), there’s nothing like Golden Girl gifts to say thank you for being a friend—whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, or Golden Girls Day.
Which is July 30th btw, so you’ve got plenty of time. Incidentally, July 30th is also National Cheesecake Day. Coincidence? We think not.
So keep reading to find a gift idea for every fan.
22 Gifts For True-Blue Golden Girls Fans
1. Tote Bag
What’s not to love about this tote? It’s cheerful, roomy, and your fave GG fan can use it practically anywhere from the grocery to the beach. The best part? The Girls will keep them company wherever they go.
2. Golden Girls Quotes Adult Coloring Book
IMHO, the best thing about the Golden Girls is the seemingly endless supply of brilliant zingers. This Golden Girls coloring book isn’t large enough to hold them all, but it’ll still provide many relaxing hours of memorizing the best ones to use on a rainy day.
3. Prayer Candles
Ok, maybe the Girls aren’t particularly “saintly,” per se (except for Rose, perhaps), but they deserve a place on the mantle to get you through tough times when all you can do is pray and hope for the best. And eat cheesecake. Don’t forget the cheesecake.
4. Collectible Stemless Wine Glasses
“People waste their time pondering whether a glass is half empty or half full. Me, I just drink whatever’s in the glass.” — Sophia
A set of stemless wine glasses with each wine glass featuring Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia are the perfect piece of Golden Girls merch for your home bar needs. Honestly, who would be better happy hour companions? No one, that’s who.
5. Board Game
Who ate the cheesecake? That’s for you to find out! Play as your fave Golden Girl and use the evidence left behind to help you solve the mystery. If your GG fan loves Clue, this will be their favorite game in the history of board games.
Wanna stay on the game theme? Throw in a set of Golden Girls playing cards.
6. Abbey Road T-Shirt
“They were all buying T-shirts, you know, the ones that say, ‘Today is the first day of the end of your life.’” — Dorothy
The Golden Girls and The Beatles. It makes total sense that the two monolithic pop-culture icons should collide on a magnificent t-shirt. Although we all know who the real fab four are.
Comes in practically every unisex size ever with seven color options. A t-shirt’s not their thing? You can get the same design on a tank top, hoodie, or sweatshirt, too.
7. Golden Girls Hot Sauce
Every Girl has her own brand of spicy, amirite? No, literally, there’s a spicy hot sauce dedicated to each GG! If you like it really hot (which some do, of course), go with Hot Slut or Sicilian Fire. For something a little more mild-mannered, try Desert Rose or Bea Spicy.
8. Insulated Tumbler
Everyone needs a go-to tumbler for coffee on the go or iced beverages by the pool! Golden Girl enthusiasts will love to show this one off anywhere. If it gets less than a glowing reception from the snobs at work, there are always those sharp-witted quotes to draw from.
Comes in five colors and styles.
9. GG Denim Jacket
“Isn’t it amazing how I can feel so bad, and still look so good?” — Blanche
For true, diehard Golden Girls fans! This jacket will let the world know how serious your fave GG fan really is about their girls – and it’ll make like-minded fans realllly jealous.
Not to mention, you’ll look almost as sexy as Blanche Devereaux on a Saturday night. Sounds like an excellent gift to us!
10. Golden Girls Cookbook
“If this sauce was a person, I’d get naked and make love to it.” — Sophia
Read through this little gem, and whether you’re savvy to the show or not, you’ll want to try everything. We especially love how the author takes great care to introduce each Girl and talk about what makes their recipes unique.
Oh, and there’s plenty of cheesecakes.
11. Framed Wall Art Print
Having a crappy day? If you’re a fan, there’s nothing quite like a classy framed print of the Girls on your wall to elicit a smile. Ponder this:
“No matter how bad things get, remember these sage words: You’re old, you sag, get over it.”— Sophia
Comes in six sizes and 19 framing options.
12. Golden Girls Crochet Kit
Oh, come ON!!! Is there anything more charming than THIS? It may not be for everyone (especially those who have no interest in crochet), but it’s by far the most unique Golden Girls gift on this list. And hands down, one of our favorites.
It comes with all the materials you’ll need to make Sophia and her purse and an instruction book to make everyone else. Except for Blanche’s love interests. That would take a library of instruction books.
13. Watching Blanket
“I feel like crawling under the covers and eating a box of Velveeta.” — Rose
Everyone needs a cozy watching blanket to curl up in front of their favorite show when it’s colder outside than St. Olaf in January. Made from plush polyester microfleece, it’ll keep your GG fan warm. At 5 x 6 feet, everyone else will have to get their own.
Sometimes you just need to be a little selfish.
14. Rushmore Chia Pet Planter
Think of the foreign and domestic catastrophes we could avoid if our Girls were among the ranks of those with the title of “president”. Honestly, if you want something done right – consult Dorothy.
15. Windshield Sun Shade
There’s nothing quite as fun as watching people in the grocery store parking lot do a double-take as they pass your car with this sunshade in the window! It’s sure to make even the saltiest shopper smile. (We’re lookin’ at you, Dorothy.)
16. Jigsaw Puzzle
A jigsaw puzzle is always fun, whether it’s a lazy Sunday morning over champagne and cheesecake or a slow midweek evening with Chinese takeout.
With 1000 pieces, it’s just like the puzzles Rose and her eight brothers and sisters used to put together when they were kids back on the farm. (That’s assuming she figured out it was supposed to come in pieces and didn’t throw it in the trash because she thought it was broken.)
Oh, Rose…
17. Thug Life Apron
Are the Golden Girls thugs? You bet your Metamucil they are. In a flame war, you’d get straight-up dealt with. No Glock required. So is this apron a quirky joke or a warning? Stick around, try to throw some shade, and find out, punk.
18. Dishwasher Magnet – Clean or Dirty?
This one’s LOL-worthy, for sure. This dishwasher magnet may only be for those of us who get it, but it doesn’t take a ton of explaining to non-GG fluent folks. Whether it’s time to unload your sparkling dishes (flip to Rose) or run that dirty, dirty load (Blanche, of course!), doing the dishes just got more fun.
19. Snow Globe
There’s no place like home. But when you put it in a snow-globe, it’s almost as magical. This snow globe depicts the Girls’ Miami home in all of its pastel-colored splendor, complete with sparkling glitter. It lights up, too!
20. Pop-Art Golden Girls Mug
Iconic. That’s only one word of many that describe the Golden Girl legacy, but we think this Warholian-designed coffee mug does a pretty good job of conveying the point without words. Stay Golden, Girls.
Comes in two sizes and seven color options.
21. Desk Calendar
“My God, I’ve left brain cells all over the Eastern Seaboard.” — Sophia
Need a little mental pick-me-up to get through the same-ol’ same-ol?’ Well, Golden Girls trivia delivers a double dose of cognitive and comedic therapy! Lucky you!
This desk calendar offers 365 days of trivia questions only a true Golden Girls fan will know. Test your knowledge and have a few laughs – your day will become instantly better.
22. 12 Days Of Socks Christmas Advent Calendar
“It’s like we say in St. Olaf — Christmas without fruitcake is like St. Sigmund’s Day without the headless boy.” — Rose
What’s better than a pair of socks sporting all things Golden Girls? Why, 12 of them, of course. We highly recommend this advent calendar for your favorite GG fan this Christmas. Or for yourself.
The OG
“Why do blessings wear disguises? If I were a blessing, I’d run around naked.” — Sophia.
No matter your favorite Golden Girls character, we hope our gift guide of Golden Girls gifts has given you some ideas that’ll delight your fave fan, and earn you a great big hug, too.
Way before we were introduced to those young tarts from NYC (you know the ones: Samantha, Miranda, Carrie, and Charlotte), we were blessed with the mature tarts of Miami.
The Golden Girls made us laugh and cry, but they were also social justice pioneers tackling issues of economic inequity, racial prejudice, and gay rights. Not to mention putting a spotlight on issues of aging and sexuality. (Thanks, Blanche.)
For that, we say “thank you,” Girls. Thank you for being our friends.
