What's your favorite memory of the '90s? Your answer will likely depend on your age, but there's no doubt it'll include some sort of trend that seems long lost. Gen X college students ordered pizza via landlines while wearing flannels and loose high-waisted Levis, millennial kids were trying to keep their Tamagotchis alive, and Gen Z babies were being introduced to their first Tickle Me Elmo dolls. It felt like we had it all!
Though it may seem like our worlds have changed a great deal, you can still find many of your favorite nostalgic items available today on sites like Etsy, Amazon, and Target. And a trip down memory lane is the perfect Christmas gift for the holiday season.
Know a now-grown-up boyband fan? Get them an NSYNC doormat to declare their everlasting love for the frosted-tip quintet. For those with a sweet tooth, a vintage candy box will bring back sugary sweet memories. Childhood often revolved around appointment TV viewing, so give someone a Saved by the Bell sweatshirt to declare their Bayside High school spirit or pair of socks of vintage Nickelodeon cartoon shows.
Of course, the '90s spans 10 years, so there's a lot to cover. It was a time when color was king, big and baggy was “da bomb,” and Lisa Frank was… everywhere. (Also, there were snap bracelets, butterfly clips, Walkmen, floppy discs, and dial-up internet.) So, scroll down to check out our list of great gifts that include '90s fashion, toys, and gifts that are—in the natural cycle of things—cool again.
