Holiday Gift Guide for People Who Enjoy 'Must-See TV'
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard to believe this is going to be the
last holiday season that Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, and Joey gather
around the Christmas tree and Hanukkah Menorah to share memories and talk about
life and love over lattes. NBC's Friends is soon coming to an end after a 10
year run on the network. But fans already in mourning might find a
Friends'-themed gift much appreciated this holiday season.

"We're expecting DVDs and videotapes of past Friends seasons to be among our
biggest sellers," says Anthony Giombetti, spokesperson at ShopNBC, an upscale TV
and Internet retailer. So big, in fact, there are thousands of copies wrapped
and waiting to be shipped. See http://www.shopnbc.com/ .
According to Giombetti, there are also plenty of Friends T-shirts, sweatshirts,
mugs and holiday ornaments on hand; but Friends isn't the only NBC show whose
memorabilia is expected to do well this holiday season. "West Wing, Frasier and
ER also have large followings. So do NBC's early morning and late night
lineups," he adds.
Fans can order hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts and Christmas ornaments with their
favorite show's logo. Like Friends, many shows also have DVDs and videotapes of
old episodes available for purchase.
If you're looking for a gift a child will treasure for years to come, you may
want to pick up a copy of "It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas" on videotape or
DVD. The show is a classic. Or perhaps a retro gift: Alf and Mr. T. haven't
been on the air for years, but Giombetti says people are still buying their
merchandise.
For those who want to get into the spirit of the games a little early, Olympic
merchandise with the logo for the 2004 Athens games is also available. "It's the
best collection of unique NBC items, many of which you can't find anywhere
else," says Giombetti.
In addition to NBC show merchandise, ShopNBC sells fine jewelry, housewares,
consumer electronics, cosmetics, and apparel. For more holiday gift ideas,
