The 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide Complete!

Still shopping? Just started? Good! I went to every store in the neighborhood — and each time took a wingwoman, carefully chosen to lend her good taste and keen shopping instincts.

I divided the list into several categories: books, non-profits, home, threads, kids, baubles, food, and in-a-category-of-their-own. And in each visit we tried to find a high and a low (though this is Tribeca, so sometimes it’s a high and higher) to diversify the price points. These are just a couple of the items that called to us — there is lots more where that came from. So close those tabs and get out for a winter’s stroll while we still can.

WRITTEN IN TRIBECA
The neighborhood has some prolific residents who have published pages of their expertise and creativity. With volumes from Houseman, Jon Pepper, Bernard Lumpkin & Carmine Boccuzzi, The Dead Rabbit, Michael J. Fox, Martha Hunt Handler, Sant Ambroeus, Lori Zimmer and Blue Moon Fish.

GOOD EATS!
Even the folks who have everything have to eat. And this a collection of real and rare treats. With goods from Blue Bottle, Bubby’s, Duane Park Patisserie, Farm.One, Interlude, Kaffe Landskap, Khe-Yo, Laughing Man, Maman, Matchaful, Odeon, Puffy’s

THE GIFT OF GIVING – LOCAL
What’s a more thoughtful stocking stuffer or Hanukkah gelt than a donation in someone’s name? There’s something in the neighborhood for every person’s passion. With links to 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Battery Dance, Best Friends Animal Society, Bowery Mission, Church Street School, Duane Park, Fountain House, Friends of Washington Market Park, Gingerbread, Hudson River Park, Manhattan Youth, Soho Rep
