10 Golden Girls Gifts To Say ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’

Wine is known for being a girl’s best friend. Why not gift your best friend a wine glass reminder to live their life like it’s golden? The stemless ergonomic design fits in their hand as they lounge on the couch after a long day and enjoy a nice glass of wine (or whatever they’d like). The broad base keeps the glass durable and prevents spillage when they’re being more playful than sensible. Make it a true Golden Girls night and watch some reruns and drink some wine together.
