10 Amazing Pieces of Pop-Culture Memorabilia From the ’90s and ’00s That You Can Still Buy Today

The ultimate proof of fandom back in the day? (As in, like, the ’90s.) Owning every bit of crap priceless memorabilia that your favorite artists came out with, from T-shirts to talking telephones. But if you weren’t able to convince your parents to invest in the limited-edition NSYNC collectible stuffed bear (it could be worth thousands someday, Mom!) or something of the like, now’s your chance to make it up to your preteen self: The deepest corners of the Internet are home to some amazing pop-culture treasures, and we’ve unearthed some of the very best that you can buy right now. Here are 10 pieces of pop-culture history that you obviously, definitely need.

Mary-Kate and Ashley dolls

The Olsen twins’ empire has included everything from an expansive VHS collection to a makeup line to a tween magazine to even a toothpaste. Sadly, the depths of the Internet no longer offer Mary-Kate and Ashley’s Bubble-Cool Aquafresh—but they do have a robust collection of the twins’ doll line, “Real Dolls for Real Girls.” Because “real” teenage girls have super spa days, red carpet walks, and trips to Rome, obvi. Available for purchase here.

New Kids on the Block lunch box

We’ve been meaning to be better about bringing our lunch to work (instead of spending bookoo bucks at Chopt), and what better way to motivate ourselves than with this killer, neon orange, not-obnoxious-at-all, New Kids on the Block lunch box? Talk about the right stuff. (Sorry, we had to.) Available for purchase here.

Britney’s Dance Beat video game

You knew there was a reason you committed Ms. Spears’ choreography to memory, and this is it. Her 2002 video game provides you the opportunity to showcase your best moves to classics like “Oops…I Did It Again” and “Baby, One More Time”—and potentially earn a spot as one of her backup dancers on her virtual tour. Can you say #LifeGoals? Available for purchase here.

Christina Aguilera Xpose perfume

Not one to be outdone by her pop princess cohort, Christina Aguilera has had her own product ventures, including a fragrance line that debuted back in 2004. The bad news? At the time, it was only available in Europe. The good news? You can hunt down the elusive Xpose scent now thanks to eBay. Available for purchase here.

The Backstreet Project

Once upon a time, at the height of the Backstreet Boys’ hysteria back in 2000, Nick Carter developed a comic book with writer Stan Lee. In it, BSB were a group of superheroes known as the Cyber Crusaders who need to help protect Earth from an alien invasion. The comic book was sold for one year at Backstreet Boys’ concerts, but if you missed out then, don’t despair. The Internet can hook you up. Available for purchase here.

Backstreet Boys T-shirt

More BSB awesomeness: This original T-shirt from the late ’90s, which apparently classifies as “vintage” nowadays. Available for purchase here.

NSYNC bobbleheads

There were plenty of ways you could express your devotion to NSYNC back in the day: You could moisturize your lips with their ChapStick, call them via their Hotline Fantasy phone (which sounds much dirtier than it was in reality), decorate your room with bedding featuring their faces, or own their collectors set of bobbleheads—which you can still have today, thanks to the Web. Available for purchase here.

On the Line DVD

Speaking of NSYNC, let us never forget when Joey Fatone and Lance Bass starred in a not-so-critically-acclaimed rom-com which is basically a movie version of Craigslist’s Missed Connections. Thankfully, we never have to because the DVD can still be yours. Available for purchase here.

Polaroid Spice Cam

Spice World was real, and it was huge. There were scooters, chocolates, lollipops, dolls, video games, even a deodorant. One item that you can still buy more than a decade later? The Spice Cam, which is (spoiler alert) just a regular Polaroid camera with Spice Girls branding. Available for purchase here.

Jessica Simpson Dessert Beauty

Before her hugely successful shoe and clothing line, Jessica Simpson launched a line of edible beauty products that tasted like various desserts—including crème brûlée perfume, strawberry sorbet lotion, and butterscotch toffee lip-plumping gloss. And because no body part should be neglected, there was even a belly-button perfume (seriously). Available for purchase here.
