When you’re looking for great gift ideas, turning to nostalgia is always a safe bet. I often turn to nostalgic gift ideas. Nowadays, that can mean many things. Shoot, the 90’s are nostalgic! I compiled a range of nostalgic gift ideas for you to cruise through and hopefully be inspired for your next gifting need.

Nostalgic Animation Funko POPs
These classic cartoons have been made into POPs! The first is Chilly Willy. He is the cutest penguin from our favorite Woody Woodpecker cartoons. The POP even comes with a stack of pancakes! The second POP is Rainbow Brite and her pal Twink. Twink is the cutest anyway, and the voice of reason, or anxiety – whichever. Either way, relive your 80s and 90s dreams with these awesome POPs.
Get Chilly Willy and Rainbow Brite!
Game Boy Fridge Magnet & Throw
These nostalgic gift ideas are perfect for the gamer in your life. In the beginning of time….just kidding. But a long, long time ago, there was a portable gaming system called a Game Boy. I know, getting old here. Lol. These Game Boy gifts are perfect for the nostalgic gamer in your life because they are probably my age and appreciate gifts for the home.
Grab your Game Boy Fridge Magnets and Throw Blanket.
The Golden Girls
The Golden Girls are a cult favorite. They have an inexplicably huge following and those sassy ladies aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Your favorite Golden Girls loving friend or family member would love to have CLUE. Discover who ate the cheesecake! Don’t worry, no deaths in this game, unlike the classic CLUE. Now, I may be just stretching here, but you could have a little nostalgic party and drink some wine, using these awesome Golden Girls wine markers and playing Golden Girls Clue. Just sayin’.
Grab your Golden Girls CLUE and wine charms.
Old Data
There are still some of us out there that remember these different ways to store data. First up is ye’ old vinyl. This Rockabilly vinyl coaster set includes six different records with fun labels. They’re used just like regular coasters to prevent rings and stains on your table top. But you can do it with “ancient” technology. Lol. Next up, is a shirt that features a floppy disk, a VHS tape and cassette. The shirt says “Never Forget”. It’s more funny than anything, but again features old tech. Great for any retro geek.
Pick up your record coasters and old data t-shirt.
Nickelodeon
Remember Nickelodeon Splat? This adult coloring book relives all your Nick favorites like Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold and more. It’s a good size at 96 pages, so your gift receiver should be kept busy for a while! Don’t forget the colored pencils. Another fun gift option is the Nickelodeon Cartoon Sock pack. It’s a set of five pairs of socks featuring your 90’s Nickelodeon favorites: Ren & Stimpy, Ahhh! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold, Rugrats and Rocco’s Modern Life. Great for retro cartoon lovers.
Get your Nickelodeon Cartoon Sock Pack and Splat coloring book! (And colored pencils).
Super Mario
The whole world knows who Mario is. This door mat features the Super Mario version of Mario. (Yes there are different stages of his life!). It’s bright, fun and durable! The second option is a Super Mario question block cookie jar. It’s ceramic and has a circular lid that lifts to hid all your snacks. I’d put candy in it. And cookies. Well, any sugar really. It’s about 7” by 6”.
Hop over your Mario door mat and grab some cookies from the question box.
