I’m a romantic when it comes to presents. My philosophy is: Give something they wouldn’t buy for themselves, not something they need. I want them to feel my love each time they use it. This year especially we can all do with more of that good feeling, so I’ve filled this guide with that kind of thoughtful option at every price point, from stocking stuffer to extravagance. Don’t worry—there’s something for everyone: spouses, kids, parents, colleagues, bosses, even the friend who baked bread for you during spring quarantine.
The beauty of holiday shopping at Hudson Yards is that you aren’t schlepping bags around in the cold and rain, or fighting traffic going from store to store. On the contrary, it’s such a lovely experience, especially since the neighborhood is so beautifully lit up and festive. Just the hit of holiday joy and magic I’m craving, and definitely nicer than spending even more time in front of my computer screen.
Plus, I can replenish my energy with a coffee and meet up with a friend for a (socially distanced!) cocktail at Queensyard when I’m done. Mostly, I love using the Concierge Desk to messenger packages to friends and family in New York. It’s so much more special than receiving a generic brown box.
