If you’ve ever found yourself rewatching clips of the Pacey-Joey slowburn or Dawson's Creek YouTube compilations late at night, you’re not alone. There’s something about Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen that pulls you right back into the nostalgia of Capeside (and your childhood/teenage years)—every single time.


Maybe it’s the soundtrack, those Dawson’s Creek theme song lyrics you can’t get out of your head, or the slow-burn romances that made you believe in love. Whatever it is (and let's be real, it was probably Pacey), if you’re looking for Dawson’s Creek gifts for yourself or a friend, these finds will bring the comfort of your favorite small-town drama into everyday life.


From the complete series for your next binge to mugs, shirts, and Dawson’s Creek trivia books, here’s everything you need to make your next rewatch even cozier.


Note: If you are new to the series and wondering “who does Joey end up with in Dawson’s Creek," you might want to stop reading now! This post may contain spoilers.


If you’ve been wondering where to watch Dawson’s Creek or where to stream Dawson’s Creek without worrying it will disappear from your queue, this Dawson’s Creek Complete Series DVD Set is your answer. (Because let's be real, it is constantly disappearing from streaming services and hopping to others!)


This set includes every Dawson’s Creek episode, so you can see the entire Dawson’s Creek cast grow up in Capeside, relive the will-they-won’t-they of Joey and Pacey, and settle the debate once and for all about whether Joey and Pacey should end up together on Dawson’s Creek (you didn't ask me, but yes).


Nothing brings back Capeside vibes faster than listening to the Dawson’s Creek theme songs and the soundtrack that shaped the show’s emotional moments and the entire vibe of the late 90s and early 2000s. The Songs from Dawson’s Creek album is perfect for road trips, cozy afternoons, or background music while you dive into Dawson’s Creek trivia with friends.


Bonus! There is also a volume 2 of this album that is a great listen when you're feeling nostalgic. Check out the album here!



Start your mornings with a Dawson’s Creek mug that will remind you of special Dawson’s Creek moments and Pacey’s iconic grand gestures. These mugs also make a sweet gift for a friend who can’t stop talking about Dawson’s Creek filming locations or quoting lines from Dawson’s Creek season 3. (They, quite literally, remember everything, am I right?)

If your friend can list every Dawson’s Creek actor, knows exactly where Dawson’s Creek was filmed (Wilmington, North Carolina, for those wondering), and can name every Dawson’s Creek episode title, a Dawson’s Creek trivia book will keep them entertained between episodes. This trivia book is perfect for trivia nights, game nights, or challenging your own knowledge of Capeside.


This charming and funny book is great for a bit of light reading or gifting to a fellow Dawson's Creek fan. Best of all, it features the infamous Dawson crying meme on the cover, which is bound to make any true fan (especially a Jacey shipper) laugh.
