Must See Gift Idea: If you’re looking for jewelry for a loved one, then look no further than FSMNYC while you’re there. There’s something for everyone with their edgy meets trendy meets pretty style. The two and three finger rings ($70 and up) are great for your more daring loved ones and the stackable rings ($40-65) are less risky and almost guaranteed a crowd pleaser.

Must See Gift Idea: When you walk into Wrecords By Monkey‘s holiday shop you may hear that “no good music was harmed in the making” of these great gifts. There’s a small chance that one of your favorite albums may have been used, but most likely you won’t care when you see how cool their signature cuffs made out of recycled vinyl records, designed with organic paint. They’ve recently expanded their line into other accessories, house wares and now iPhone vinyl skins ($14), which surely will be a hit (record) this season.

Must See Gift Idea: Gnome Enterprises makes fun tees that can help you cross off just about everyone on your list in one stop.
