Psst: Not everyone on your holiday shopping list wants a membership to the Cosby Sweater of the Month Club like you got them last year. (Okay, some do, but that's their problem.) What they do want are presents purchased from these hip local shops. |
 |
 |
 |
Pearl River Mart: Pearl River Mart truly is the ultimate gift source for hard-to-buy-for friends and relatives. From unique and kitschy Chinese goods to housewares, clothing, and literally everything in between, you’re certain to find what you didn’t even know you were looking for. |
 |
 |
 |
Alphabets: At Alphabets, they know what you want. This arty, fun boutique is the go-to spot for your favorite funky friends. They’ve got all the random, lovable (and unforgettable) tchochkies that are sure to please, from a Tiki Tissue Kleenex Box to an Android “Radar” Watch. |
 |
 |
 |
Fish’s Eddy: This small and adorable shop carries one-of-a-kind kitchenware and loads of funky, hip china. Pick up a set of teacups and saucers featuring the mugs of “Great American Democrats” or fun, functional plates emblazoned with the New York City skyline for your little sis back in Iowa. |

 |
 |
Museum Shop at the Museum of Moving Image: Don’t bother with the crowds at the MoMA gift shop; you’ll find an amazing selection of memorabilia, DVDs, posters, calendars, action figures, and art books from all your favorite television shows and movies at the Museum of Moving Image Shop in Astoria. |

 |
 |
Environment 337: From candles to pillows and prints to pitchers, Environment 337 has great items. You could shop for everyone here, including baby. Plus they just opened in Manhattan and have an online store in case you don’t want to leave the house. |
