“One of my go-to spots for holiday gifts is Catbird—look no further for all things pretty! It is a veritable bounty of unique and extraordinary jewelry, housewares and beauty products. I’m in love with the flirty and affordable prints by Natalie Krim, and Catbird’s own line of jewelry is always a hit with my friends who like their accessories on the understated yet lovely side. The ampersand stud earrings and matching ring are a home run.”
Shopping for holiday gifts can be difficult, so we went straight to the experts for advice. We asked the owners of some of our favorite indie shops, including By Brooklyn, Catbird, the One Well and In God We Trust, where they like to shop for holiday gifts. Follow their recommendations and you’re guaranteed to find the perfect present.
