“The Golden Girls” are cult, and not just on screen. The series has been delighting fans worldwide for decades and its popularity is unbroken. What could be better than bringing a piece of the Golden Girls into your everyday life?
DVD-Set
Do you remember the days when recording “The Golden Girls” episodes on the TV video recorder was a real test of patience? Searching for that one missing episode, waiting for late-night repeats - all that is a thing of the past with the complete box set. On top of that, you get exclusive extras such as interviews, background reports and unpublished scenes. A must for every lover of the Golden Girls.
Unlike streaming services, you don't have to rely on subscriptions or the internet - simply insert the DVD and off you go. With the complete box set, you can get all 180 episodes of the cult series in the comfort of your own home. In contrast to streaming services, which often only offer a limited selection or changing availability, here you have full control: no dependence on internet connections or subscriptions - simply insert the disc and enjoy whenever you want. What's more, the original quality of the series is retained, with no compression or omissions. For true fans, this box set is an essential collector's item. It offers you pure nostalgia and lets you relive the golden moments of the series again and again.
Facsimile
Imagine holding a detailed replica of a signed photo or a script of “The Golden Girls” in your hands. Even if they are “only” replicas, each facsimile captures that very special magic that fans love so much. One look is enough to immerse yourself in the cheerful anecdotes and legendary scenes of the four ladies.
These facsimiles combine nostalgia with affordability: you can frame them, put them on your shelf or add an unmistakable eye-catcher to your collection - without having to stretch the budget for a real original. Of course, I don't begrudge any collector the honour of one day owning a real autograph or script. But until then, these replicas are a wonderful opportunity to bring a little bit of “The Golden Girls” magic right into your living room.
Books
“The Golden Girls” made you laugh, made you think and showed you how important friendship is? Then these books are guaranteed to make you feel at home. Whether you want to deepen your background knowledge or are looking for culinary inspiration - you'll find everything a fan's heart desires here.
In “Golden Girls Forever: An Unauthorised Look Behind the Lanai” by Jim Colucci, you can learn a lot about the story behind the film, the four main actresses and plenty of background knowledge. With every page you will discover new, exciting information and experience how the show became a timeless cult.
“The Definitive Golden Girls Cultural Reference Guide” by Matt Browning is perfect for all younger or non-American fans who want to know what certain sayings and references mean and why they were so funny. It'll give you the context you need about the 80s insiders.
With “Golden Girls Cookbook: More than 90 Delectable Recipes” by Christopher Styler, you can bring the Girls’ recipes straight into your kitchen - from quick snacks to tempting main courses. If you ever get bored of cheesecake (if that's even possible!), you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for here. There is another cookery book by the same author that focuses entirely on cheesecake and cocktails
A little tip on the side: I cooked the recipe for chicken piccata from the cookbook in a video, which you can watch right here. Have fun browsing, browsing and cooking!
Games
Do you fancy game nights with your friends and want Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia with you? No problem! There are now a range of board and card games that you can use to bring that unmistakable flair into your living room.
If you fancy a classic board game with a sunny atmosphere, you should take a look at the Golden Girls version of “Cluedo”: Instead of serious criminal cases, humorous puzzles from 6151 Richmond Street take centre stage here. Cheesecake fans will get their money's worth with “Any Way You Slice It” - a charming mix of trivia and funny challenges about the girls' favourite dessert.
If you want to put your fan knowledge to the test, the “Trivial Pursuit Golden Girls Edition” is just the thing - provided you can find fellow players who are just as big fans as you are. If not, grab my self-designed card deck in Golden Girls design: whether rummy or canasta - the familiar rules remain, but the flair is unmistakable. If you're interested, just send me an
Decorative items
Want to add a little Golden Girls charm to your daily routine? Then you'll be spoilt for choice. If, like me, you don't like it quite so kitschy, the magnet set and a desk calendar full of trivia are just right for you. The small motifs on the magnetic set will instantly put you in a good mood on the fridge or pinboard - and of course also keep notes and shopping lists safe.
The desk calendar works like a daily mini quiz evening: a new question or an exciting fact about Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia awaits you every day. So your morning not only starts in an organised but also entertaining way. Whether as a gift for other fans or as a reward for yourself - these decorative items will make everyday life that little bit more fun.
Clothing
You will find an even larger selection than for decorative items in the clothing section. Whether it's T-shirts, hoodies, cosy blankets or chic fabric bags - the range is huge and is constantly being expanded with new designs. From subtle Golden Girls allusions to eye-catching prints with iconic quotes, there is something for every taste.
T-shirts with humorous sayings or drawings of the four ladies are ideal everyday companions that immediately catch the eye. No matter what your heart beats for - you are sure to find something with the variety of shops and artists who put their creativity into official or self-made designs. This way, you can bring the unique flair of the Girls with you wherever you go and make a statement about your love for the cult series.
My personal favourite item in my wardrobe is a gift from my best friend and combines two of my sitcom favourites: The shirt features drawings of the four ladies and the saying “Thank You for Being a Friend” in the style of the Friends logo. The shirt combines the vibe of two cult series in a single eye-catcher. There are always nice conversations when fans of both series notice it.
For even more Golden Girls items, it's worth taking a look at these shops:
