Hey Arnold! is a show that ran for a long time and many people believe it to be one of the best cartoons of all time. It taught many of us lessons that lasted a lifetime, and whether we are watching it on late-night TV or we have the complete collection, it has changed us all.
But with a show that has been around for so long, that maybe isn’t quite as popular as some other cartoons of its time, what can we get when we are looking for gifts for Hey Arnold! fans? Here are some of our top suggestions:
Hey Arnold! Gifts That Feature Individual Characters
Hey Arnold! is a show that takes place in a city (many believe it to be New York City, though there is some debate), and with that city comes a ton of memorable characters. Here are some great gifts for some of these different characters.
Gerald Pillow
This pillow is a great statement piece that features Gerald and his iconic hairstyle. It is perfect for a chair or a bed!
Helga Phone Case
Helga is in love with Arnold, but she is a bully to him. Even so, she has a shrine dedicated to football head. She’s a girl many of us looked up to – so why not have her as a phone case?
Hey Arnold Clock
This clock features three pixelated character outlines from the show: Arnold, Gerald, and Helga. It’s an understated tribute to the show.
Harold Enamel Pin
Harold is another beloved character. He’s big, bold, and has a ton of emotions that he needs to sort through. Secretly, he has a heart of gold.
Helga Pataki Thin Tumbler
One of the themes that the show always carried was taking care of our planet, and this thin tumbler is a great way to carry around water instead of using water bottles. It’ll make your Hey Arnold! fan think of the episode with the sea turtle.
