There is no denying that 2018 was the year of the rom-com. And the genre doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon, with news of tons of upcoming rom-coms hitting everywhere from page to screens both big and small. For those of us who have long basked in the glow of the romantic comedy, it's been a year of saying "I told you so" to everyone who has feigned utter indifference (or even downright scorn) at everything from swoon-worthy meet-cutes to cinematic mistaken identities.

Whether you've got someone to shop for who has been a romance stan forever or they've just found their way back to the genre thanks to this year's rom-com renaissance, I can't think of a more perfect gift than one inspired by their current favorite reads. Below are 13 items that will put their love of the rom-com right on their sleeve — and their keys, their nails, and on their bookshelves, too.

Unwrapping any one of these gifts will be sure to cement their love of the romantic comedy for years to come. Consider it a win-win: they get to rock a Peter Kavinsky pin, and you've got a guaranteed plus-one to the midnight premiere of the Crazy Rich Asians sequel.
