20 Thoughtful Gilmore Girls Gifts For The Lorelais & Rorys In Your Life
Doose’s Market would be so lucky to carry these items.
We may never actually get to live in Stars Hollow, stop by Luke’s for a quick coffee, or head to Miss Patty’s for a town meeting — but we sure as hell can pretend. Your favorite Gilmore Girls binge-watching buddy deserves all of the Lorelai and Rory-themed gear out there. And so do you. Because, you know, oy with the poodles already.
From cozy Stars Hollow sweatshirts and quilts to cookie cutters and candles, I’ve searched and gathered truly the best Gilmore Girls items for your next rewatch party. Matching shirts with Emily Gilmore’s face on them? Groundbreaking. Literature? Duh. A Gilmore Girls-themed cookbook? Look both ways, you never know where Sookie may be lurking.
Send the Lane to your Rory straight to Stars Hollow with these nostalgic Gilmore Girls-themed merch.
1. Gilmore Girls Eras Shirt
Are you ready for it? Show off your affinity for the Gilmore Girls with this Eras-themed t-shirt. Even Kirk makes an appearance!
2. Gilmore Girls Graphic Sweatshirt

3. Smells Like Shes Watching Gilmore Girls Again Candle
Described as a candle that “smells 100% like Rory Gilmore studying while sipping coffee,” this is exactly what you need to set the mood for your Gilmore Girls fall rewatch party.

4. Emily Gilmore Vintage T-Shirt
It’s time to be honest with ourselves: Emily Gilmore is the unsung hero of the drama TV series. Sure, she has a temper and often acts like she has a stick up her you-know-what, but her one-liners and outfits are just as memorable as her daughter’s. Emily Gilmore t-shirt > band t-shirt.
