Not only did the show yield some of the greatest catchphrases in the pop culture canon, but its story lines are also somehow still relevant today– despite it being over twenty years old. Ardent fans of the historic show will love these deep-cut gifts.
1. Sponge Worthy Greeting Cards

These hilarious greetings will give any fans of the show a good laugh, and if you’ve seen the episode, you know it’s a major compliment.
