Best Gifts For Your Friends Who Are Still Obsessed With ‘Friends’
Friends. It’s that quintessential ’90s show that made every young person want to move to New York, meet awesome strangers, and experience the city with the most supportive, funny strangers turned besties around. Better yet, there was someone in the group almost anyone could relate to. If you weren’t’ the fashion savvy Rachel, you could easily be the freethinking Phoebe (because wasn’t she just the Luna Lovegood of her time?).  If you were neither, then maybe you were more the perfectionist Monica type. No matter what, there was a place for you. At least, that’s how watching the show felt. It’s also why the reruns remain so popular to this day.
