I like AND love Parks and Rec, and I may or may not have rewatched the complete series over a dozen times.

It’s a hilarious mockumentary that focuses on Leslie Knope and her passion for her three favorite things: friends, work, and waffles. She works at the Parks and Recreation department in the small town of Pawnee, Indiana, and hilarity ensues.

I adore all the characters on this show. Like Ron Swanson, who hates government but loves breakfast food. And April Ludgate, who hates people but loves Andy. And Jean-Ralphio, who loves to sing-speak things like “the worrrrssssst.”

If you haven’t watched it, you seriously need to get on that. And here are 20 gift ideas for anyone else who loves this show:

Leslie Knope Mug

This Leslie Knope Mug says it perfectly, “Be the Leslie Knope of whatever you do.” Damn straight.

Li’l Sebastian Hoodie

This Li’l Sebastian Hoodie is a great gift for anyone who immediately started singing the “Bye, Bye Li’l Sebastian” song when reading this.

Leslie Knope Collectible

A Leslie Knope Collectible is another gift idea for people who aspire to be eternal optimists like Leslie.

Ron Swanson Collectible

Or maybe a Ron Swanson Collectible is more your style if you like things like steak and woodworking.

And this Ron Quote Mug says, “If there were fewer people here and more food, this party would be perfect.” Which is how I feel about every party.

Meat Tornado Tee
