1. A "Philadelphia Born & Raised" hat so you can rep the hometown of the Prince. It looks almost exactly like the one Will wore in the series intro. (Bonus points if you're actually from Philly!)

2. A cozy sweatshirt featuring the Fresh Prince cast in cartoon form that just made me realize how incredible the show would be in animation (in addition to the original of course). Anyone want to sign a petition to reboot the show as a cartoon??

4. A Banks sisters T-shirt featuring Hilary and Ashley in one of their most well-recognized photos. Still wondering if they're willing to adopt me as the third Banks sister?

5. A "Fresh" replica prop license plate to ~jazz~ up your car — just add some dice in the mirror and you're good to go.

6. A holographic sticker of Alfonso Ribeiro doing his famous "Carlton dance" that'll no doubt make you want to practice doing it yourself every time you see it on your water bottle or laptop. Pro tip: If you feel silly doing it, you're probably doing it right!

7. A sheet of wrapping paper featuring illustrations of Will and Carlton to make your next gift that much ~fresher~. You can even add a matching card!

10. A Will Smith or DJ Jazzy Jeff plush toy so you can start your kid's love of the show at a young age. No kids? No problem, you know you wanted this for yourself anyway.

11. A Will Smith enamel pin to add to your collection — this is sure to be dopest pin of them all.

12. An illustrated print (featuring the original Aunt Viv) you can frame in your home and pretend it's an actual family portrait. I mean, who didn't want to live in that house and have Geoffrey there to clean up after you??

the print features faceless illustrations of will, aunt viv, uncle phil, carlton, hilary, ashley, and geoffrey

13. A coffee mug with a few lines from (in my opinion) the BEST sitcom theme song of all time! Now you can sip on your tea or coffee while relaxin' all cool and shootin' some b-ball outside the school — or, ya know, just chillin' out on the couch.

the coffee mug reads "chillin' out, maxin, relaxin' all cool" in multicolor letters

14. Or a Hilary Banks mug because the ✨true icon✨ of '90s fashion deserves some respect!

17. A pair of Retro Air Jordan 5 sneakers in the "Alternate Bel-Air" colorway so you can rock some fly kicks inspired by the man who made many of us want to up our sneaker game.

21. A sticker set featuring two of Will's most memorable fashion moments, one of him and Carlton, and one of him hugging Uncle Phil. Uhhg, just seeing that sticker makes me want to tear up! RIP Uncle Phil. 💔
