D.A.R.E. Parody Mug
Every 90s kid remembers going through the D.A.R.E. program at school. We all got t-shirts. And we all got nostalgia… But now we know the real truth.
Reptar Cereal Candies
Buy on AmazonEveryone who grew up in the 90s watched Rugrats and I’m sure I’m not the only one who wanted all the Reptar-themed products on the show. Give them one of these candy boxes and it will definitely be an amazing, and unexpected, gift.
Nostalgia Food Charms
These little charms are perfect replicas of their favourite childhood treats. What’s great about this gift is you can get different styles of jewelry, like earrings or a necklace, so you can make it unique to the person you’re giving to.
These are technically from the 80s but most of these packages were the same in the 90s too.
Trolls Glass Set
Buy on AmazonThese little guys were the hot toy of the early 90s, everyone had one. The new movie kind of made them come back but nothing beats that classic design. Now that your 90s kid is grown up, though, get them something they can actually use: this set is perfect.

There’s so much 90s going on in this gift that will help make the “adulting” they have to do now just a bit more bearable.

90s Shower Curtain
Buy on AmazonHere’s the thing: most of us are old enough to have our own houses, or at least apartments. Why not give the gift of 90s decor?
Heartthrob Chrat
*sigh* 90s heartthrobs. Girls (and gay boys *cough*) will remember their hours spent obsessing over their childhood crushes will this handy chart. It also is a great looking art piece.

Book Fair Nostalgic Scented Wax Melts
Some schools still do the Scholastic book fairs but this pack is the exact memories they have of their 90s purchases.
This smell will take them back to a time of Gosebumps books, tacky bookmarks, and all those little accessories and posters we wasted way too much money on as kids.
Things 90s Kids Realize
Buy on AmazonThis book looks back on 90s pop culture as an adult and goes through things that you just didn’t realize from when you were a kid. Perfect for nostalgia and mind blowing.
Slap Bracelets
Buy on AmazonSlap bracelets were all the rage in the 90s and now they can be that again among you and your friends with this pack.
Yesterday at work a 17 year old told me they didn’t want to grow up because being an adult is hard. Millennials are already grown-up so these 90s gift ideas aren’t just gifts, they’re a little piece of their childhood back.
