by Amy Roberts

For many families (and extended ones), the holiday season provides the perfect opportunity with which to hang out, catch up, and dote some essential love on each other in the form of great gifts. And if your family and besties spent the best part of the '90s — and ever since — cackling (and occasionally, crying) over the exploits of the Banks family, then some Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air gift ideas may be just what they're craving from Santa. Of course, back in the day, the easiest solution would have been to simply gift a Fresh Prince box set or DVD compilation of essential episodes, but the times they are a-changin', my friend. In a good way.

Thanks to the endless surprises of the internet, there are now tons of independent sellers making original items inspired by some of the greatest pop culture moments ever.
