Sometimes, as the holiday season approaches, it can be difficult to think of the perfect gift ideas for your friends. However, it is not quite as hard to figure out what to give friends who are fans of the TV show Friends. Case in point, the following list of the best Friends gifts now available online which we have curated for you, starting with one item that could not be more perfect for a pet owner in your life.

Friends “Pivot!” Dog Toy

Give your loved one the gift of being able to make a Friends fan out of their own pet with this cuddly plush toy with a built-in squeaker. Amazon actually has several great examples of stuffed pet toys to choose from, but our personal favorite is this 10,” orange sofa with one of the most recognizable Friends inside jokes of all time: “Pivot!” - an instruction Ross Gellar (David Schwimmer) gives his pals ad nauseam as they struggle to bring his new couch up the stairs.

Friends “Crap Bag” Canvas Tote

Perhaps if you chose to get your loved one all of the great Friends-centric dog toys available, you could also get them this durable, spacious, cotton canvas tote to carry them with for trips to the dog park or all kinds of other uses. What makes this gift special (which comes in white or black) is its reference to another hilarious Friends quote spoken when Mike (Paul Rudd) - upon learning his wife, Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) changed her name to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock - decides he wants to be called “Crap Bag” from now on.

Your loved one could also use their “Crap Bag” to hold their things while they they take a load off at the pool or in a lake. What better way for a Friends fan to do so than with this inflatable floating raft that resembles the iconic door to Monica Gellar’s (Courteney Cox) apartment - complete with a transparent peephole.
