Gift giving in New York has its own set of special challenges, a primary one being that most people don't have a lot of space. Which means that a) your gift better be good if you want it to actually stick around for long and b) it should take up as little room as possible. We looked high and low for presents to please a wide variety of New York types, with special consideration for the needs and space constraints unique to city dwellers.
