Sure, tourists could find gifts reminiscent of the big city with collections like Brooklyn's that are chock full of bowls, mugs or glasses. However, Fishs Eddy, located near Gramercy Park, is grander than a touristy knick-knack shop. From vintage to an array of patterns and collections, this Manhattan staple offers attention-grabbing designs of dinnerware, flatwear, glasswear, servewear, linens, kitchen items and gifts for dads, grads and brides-to-be. Pricing is unusually affordable for New York City, with sale items that are a steal.

Brooklyn, NY 11211

Brooklyn Reclamation in Williamsburg is the spot for "reclaimed, recycled, and repurposed" home décor. These "fourth generation Brooklyn kids" understand and respect their roots, selling vintage furniture and custom pieces that give every home a bit of "industrial chic" history. What better way to support green living than with a refurbished item that decorates while serving a purpose? Brooklyn Reclamation is more than a boutique décor shop with commercial projects that have renovated hair salons, yoga studios, bars and restaurants.
