A trip down decades past is a warm and fuzzy place to be, especially if you're shopping for someone who grew up in the early 2000s. The early aughts were all about the sleepovers, music, fashion, and beauty scene. We're talking about the days of *67ing your friends, blasting "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne on MTV (while simultaneously wearing her famous camouflage cargo pants), throwing on a popcorn shirt and thinking you're all that, and then dousing your lips in juicy tube lip gloss for a night on the town (*cough* the mall *cough*) with friends. Almost anyone who looks back on this time will have a smile plastered on their face, which is why if you know a friend or loved one who grew up in the early '00s, these gift ideas will hit the spot. And hey, thank goodness we can shop online without using dial-up, right? Here's 61 things you should get for a friend who grew up in the early aughts.
