($35), which will blanket homes in a fresh pine and spruce scent. These candles are also available at Strand Books.
FOR KIDS For kids’ gifts, start at MoMA Design Store. Snake Blocks ($16 for small; $48 for medium) offer hours of quiet entertainment as kids twist and turn geometric blocks into serpentine-like designs. Also here, show teens the fun of capturing memories the old-fashioned way (on instant film!) with the Lomo’Instant Automat camera ($149). Kids who can’t wait for a snow day will need the right gear to keep their feet toasty. Gift them a pair of PLAE’s Jack snow boots ($94.95)—waterproof, insulated footwear with a standout design—from Harry’s Shoes for Kids. They’ll especially love slipping them on over cute socks, like Pals’
mismatched cat and dog socks ($9), available at the artisanal shop for community artists and designers, Brooklyn Collective. Want to give your favorite youngster something that’s as fun as it is educational? Head to Mary Arnold Toys, where you’ll be spoiled for choice with toys and games, like LAWSUIT! ($34.95), an award-winning board game that introduces kids to the justice system through whimsical scenarios. Baby’s first holiday calls for something special, like a pint-size stuffed elephant ($24), from the St. Frank pop-up. Made by an indigenous ethnic group in Laos, the indigo-colored cuddle toy symbolizes long life and good health. Finally, spoil the kids with gourmet cookies from Maman. The Holiday Trio Cookie Gift Box ($45) contains gingerbread oatmeal raisin, white chocolate candy cane pretzel and nutty chocolate chip cookies.
