We’re entering crunch time for holiday shopping!
Luckily, in a neighborhood as creative and vibrant as ours, you don’t have to go far to get something for everyone on your list. We’ve rounded up our picks for gifts you can easily secure this weekend (at time of this article’s publication, at least).
And for more ideas, Shop Small Greenpoint is the perfect place to start!
A framed print from Gallery Art &

Butter mug from Woods Grove
The shoppy shop, of which we have quite a few, is always an ideal place to pick up a gift, even if that’s just a gift for yourself. Woods Grove (109 Franklin St.) has quite an extensive collection of food-related goodies, from candles, to hats emblazoned with a loved ones favorite thing to eat (I personally own the salt-and-vinegar baseball cap). If you’re not sure which specific food to pick out, err on the side of caution with a mug (or candle! Or tray!) with that universally beloved substance — butter!
Bonus, you can even pick up the gift wrap and card while you’re there!

G-train ornament from The WonderMart
You know, we talk a lot of shit about the G-train. But as a fellow short diva who rarely leaves Brooklyn, I’m willing to set aside my differences in the spirit of the holiday season. Gift this to your fellow harried straphanger. Get it at The WonderMart (141 India St.), and be forewarned, they’ve been selling out! Some back up options include this G-train bar soap or a Greenpoint-themed candle.
Find out more on the WonderMart website here.
