Everything in my HalfBloodPrints box! This month, the goodies are inspired by Gilmore Girls!

Limited Edition Fandom Trading Card. Our trading card features Luke Danes, one of the main characters of Gilmore Girls and portrayed by Scott Patterson. He’s also the owner of Star Hollow’s local diner.

Instead of stats, this trading card includes trivia about him.

Die-Cut Magnet. Dragonfly Inn is the business that has been run by Lorelai Gilmore and Sookie St. James. I love how they were able to remake the signage, even the colors are on point!

Die-Cut Sticker. Rory Gilmore, the inspiration of this sticker, is an introvert who buries herself with books in her free time. She has always been very intelligent and helps her mother through her studies. This artwork sticker resembles Alexis Bledel who portrayed her character.

Button Pin. It is a popular sign at Luke’s Diner and this pin perfectly resembles it. Diners are all about the human connection!

Full-Color Bookmark. This is a cute bookmark. Most of the references are in separate merchandise and it’s as if this summarizes the whole box. I see a Harvard reference here because Rory always had an eye out for Harvard and she got accepted but she went to Yale instead.

I remember when I was watching the show that she indeed talks too fast. Even Rory, like they were thinking a lot faster than they could say speak.

Postcard. It is a fictional town made for Gilmore Girls 30 minutes from Hartford Connecticut. Fans would easily recognize this reference postcard.

It has a postcard back that you can fill up to send loved ones, most especially if they are fans of the show. They will immediately get what the card is about.

What She Tackles She Conquers By Richard Gilmore Art Print. Richard Gilmore has always inspired the Gilmore Girls to do their best, Lorelai in being a mother and businesswoman and for Rory in her studies. He has always been a supportive rock of the family. This quote made sense and I appreciate that it was emphasized by the splattered paint on its background.

These are the notable places in the Gilmore Girls franchise. The handpainted feel and calligraphy were well done.

T-Shirt. The gray shirt features Luke’s Diner signage with its location.

This is a perfect Luke’s Diner merchandise. The print is rough around the edges but it gives a raw and homey feel to it which I like.

I love the art and passion that has been put into this subscription. The calligraphy, the print of the shirt, and all the other things in the box are of quality. The items are unique and can’t be found anywhere else and that’s what I liked the most. Also, the references are easily recognizable and represented characters exactly the way it should have. After nearly a decade of the last episode of 7th season of Gilmore Girls, it is revived and the die-hard fans were very happy. It is a limited episode series entitled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and HalfBloodPrints did a wonderful job in taking us a tour down memory lane. It sparked our hearts again with the girls’ irresistible charm.
