Take Five from the Daily 9-5 @The Bryant Park Holiday Market

Now that the Holiday Season has officially taken off, and our stomach's are coated with Holiday cheer from the massive amounts of Thanksgiving stuffing, it's now time to start our Holiday shopping!

And, yes, this is the grueling, once a year task we all begin with a big *sigh*. If any one is like me, with fall semester final exams, a hectic work schedule, and a daily commute into the city, you know we have little time to worry about giving the perfect gift this Holiday season!

Then we procrastinate and we procrastinate until it comes down to final countdown. We just find ourselves spending more money and buying gifts we never really intended to buy for our loved ones. This is why I have found a quick and easy stop for busy Hoboken commuters to find the most unique and cheap gifts your family and friends are sure to love!

Amongst the festive Bryant Park Ice Skating rink and The Bryant Park Cafe, you will find Bryant Park's Holiday Market; a endless marketplace of one-of-a-kind boutiques selling everything from fine art to houseware to sports gear.

What to look for at the Market:
Sabon: soaps, suds, and scrubs to give you that spa pampered feel
(Hint, hint Mom and Dad)

Brooklyn Made: Brooklyn bound gifts fit to suite your favorite hipster
Holiday Tree: Unique decorations to adorn your family's tree for generations

Kizmet Yoga Gear: All the gear you need to kickstart the new you in 2011

New West Knifeworks: featured in November's Details Magazine, the multifunctional knife for every cut


Whether you chose to sneak a peak during your lunch hour or gander under the brightly lit holiday lights after work with Lily O' Brien's famous hot chocolate shots.

Remember to pick up some of the most delicious eateries for last minute stocking stuffers:
The Sweet Shop
Sigmund Pretzel Shop
Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Baid Man
Kettle Corn NYC
Country Herbs & Many More


So, this year try something different and less stressful. Rather than waiting until last minute to find the perfect gift for your loved ones, get a head start this Holiday Season @the Bryant Park Holiday Market!
