Ross and Rachel might have been on a break but a fan’s obsession with ‘Friends’ is never on a break. It has been more than two decades since it last aired and the fans finally managed to convince the cast to get together once again and sit in their favourite cafe. The Friends Reunion is all set to be released on 27th May. Gear up for ‘The One Where They Get Back Together’ with the best Friends merchandise available locally. Here are all things friends that will help you prepare for the reunion:
1. Can’t get smelly cat out of your head? Get it on a Spotify Album Cover
In the loneliest of the nights, Friends is always there for you even when the rain starts to pour. To remind you of that, Spotify Album Covers by Artorza (@artorza_) are the perfect pieces. The founders started this business as a way to deal with quarantine boredom. The appreciation they got for their work has made them stand the test of time. Artoza can provide the fans with a cover of any Friends song. Customers can also get their own picture printed with a barcode of Friends title song. Moreover, they sell Instagram post posters and customise vinyl. Their merch starts from Rs. 1,400. Check them out here!
2. A friends hoodie blanket for when you go through the ‘sweatpant phase’ of a breakup as bad as Chandler’s
Bad breakups are the worst thing to ever exist but our favourite group of friends taught us the best way to deal with them is to get into the comfiest clothes while binge eating a tub of ice cream.

4. It’s hard to find Gladys online but go for a Friends poster instead
If you’ve watched friends countless times, you must have noticed that the characters are obsessed with posters.

5. All the characters of ‘Friends’ are OBSESSED with coffee, are you?
If you get a chance to visit Central Perk wouldn’t you want to have your cinnamon spiced latte in a Friends mug? Muggay (@muggay_) is just the right kind of place for that.

6. Save yourself from the embarrassment of using a Man-Purse by getting a Friends backpack
No matter how much you loved Friends, there’s no denying that Joey did look a bit funny with a Man-Purse.
