BK places to buy (as lifted from Yelp)
There you are, minding your business, having some turkey and mashed potatoes, when - ho, ho, ho, what do you know? It's Black Friday. The streets are peppered with shoppers and it's official. Enter: the Holidaze. But whatever you celebrate and whoever's on your list, this Weekly Yelp's got you covered. So try to enjoy those last, lingering bites of bird, make sure to chew, and nap if that tryptophan is killing ya... then digest this, our Yelpiest Gift Guide Ever!
Only got pennies for presents? Selene P suggests shopping for intriguing vintage pieces at Old Hollywood, because “the jewelry is gorgeous, different, and CHEAP. The fashion they purvey is classic, interesting, unironic and pretty!” All great adjectives. Meanwhile, Whitney A worships the wonderful wares at Fuego 718: “This is probably the best place to get quirky housewarming gifts or to buy some things to give a place a little character. The prices range from pretty expensive to student affordable, so there's something for everyone.” Looking local? Ashley R attests that Brooklynski’s excellent and eclectic selection is all the more attractive as “they make a big effort to carry products from Brooklyn designers.”
3R Living appeals to Asprey J’s “fanatically self-righteous, bleeding-heart liberal, tree-hugging hippie ways.” Dedicated to eco-friendly living, this dream-come-true carries everything “from pencils and coasters made from old newspapers, to the extraordinarily pricey solar-powered backpack, to the toys made from recycled fabrics to the killer bath and body products.” At RePop, Monica M marvels over "all the cool vintage and antique thingamabobs, costume jewelry, furniture, photographs, and anatomy-themed art.” But even so, the gorgeous handmade masterpieces at Mine could also be yours for the giving; Benjamin C cozies up to the warm rustic aesthetic, and spies plenty of "small accents and large custom pieces" to finish off a room.
Matthew S cites Cinders as the spot to snag "very interesting, irreverent art" for the curious curators in your queue. But for the art of carnal contentment, your best bet is Babeland; “whether you're buying your first vibrator or you're looking to diversify your sexual menu with a partner,” Kristin M promises you will leave feeling both naughty and nice; “this is a place where sexuality is open, celebrated, and most of all, fun." For that sweet summation, Sarah W swears that at Slodycze Wedel, "the truffles are already individually wrapped in shiny, pretty wrappers, so only thing you need to do is eat some and give." Well Brooklyn, that's a wrap!
