We’ve got the Lyons of our lives covered with the Empire Christmas gift guide, but what if you’ve got a friend (or foe) who matches the personalities of an Empire character who isn’t in the Lyon family? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Check out the gift guide below for the Boo Boo Kitties and the Beckys you know.

Anika/Boo Boo Kitty
 |
| Amazon |
Some chill pills. Seriously. And maybe a copy of Machiavelli’s The Prince, so she has a better sense of political maneuvering, assuming that your real-life Anika also employs the same sloppy tactics. Anika is played by Grace Byers. She just released the book, I Am Enough, a great gift for your favorite Boo Boo Kitty fan.
Porsha
 |
| Amazon |
Cat toys for her new office pet and ear plugs for when Cookie, or, his or her boss yells at them at work. Perhaps throw in some resume paper so they can get a new job. Porsha loves bright lipstick just as much as she loves Cookie. Buy your favorite Empire fan Taraji P. Henson’s Mac Viva Glam lipstick.
Becky
 |
| Amazon |
More respect for being a dutiful assistant! Especially if you know a Becky who has a boss like Andre, who doesn’t exactly respect her. Becky is played by Gabourey Sidibe and she recently released the book, This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare. Buy it for your favorite Empire fan.
Tiana
 |
| Amazon |
Pepper spray if it’s legal in your area, or maybe just some self-defense lessons so your Tiana friend never has to experience what actual Tiana experience in the lobby of Lyon Dynasty. Buy your favorite Empire fan “Drip Drop” because the song never gets old!
Thirsty Rawlings
 |
| Amazon |
What do you get the man who has all the gadgets in the world? Maybe just an Amazon gift card and see what crazy thing he digs up on that website. Thirsty is played by Andre Royo aka Bubbles from The Wire. If your favorite Empire fan isn’t familiar with The Wire buy them the complete series.
