Click here to go straight to the gift guide!A portrait of New York City in winter: streets lit by stars and soft neon light, reflected off the thin ice that lightly coats the pavement; pristine mounds of snow perched on the streetlights of 34th Street; icicles on the eaves of local gift shops; the gorgeous strains of Handel's Messiah and the disarming trill of Salvation Army Santa Claus bells piercing the sharp air. But even if you don't hold out hope for an absolutely perfect Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, remember that you are in the shopping capital of the world, right on the cusp of the gift-giving season. From the department stores of Fifth Avenue to the Diamond District of 47th Street, from midtown's Garment District to the specialty shops of Greenwich Village, anything your heart (or your loved one's heart) desires is available in Manhattan. There are the discount fur and leather shops on the Lower East Side and the myriad of shops and retailers in Grand Central Terminal; there are the art galleries of Chelsea and the cutting-edge fashions of Soho; you can go from the heady buzz of Times Square to the serenity of the South Street Seaport -- wherever you find yourself, there is sure to be something for everyone on every corner of New York City. And even if you've done your shopping in the city before, there are new places every year for you to browse through. The time to buy gifts will slowly evaporate into the cold, so before your anxiety blossoms into full-blown panic, take a deep breath and take a look at our guide to some of the finest gifts at the finest stores in our winter wonderland, including the American Museum of Natural History, Bloomingdale's, Build-A-Bear Workshop, DataVision, Dave's New York, DivaGrams, Eastside Luggage Shop, Grand Central Oyster Bar, the Guggenheim Museum, the HBO Shopsm, J&R Music and Computer World, Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, Matt Umanov Guitars, the Museum of Modern Art, the NBA Store, New Balance New York, Nintendo World, Quiksilver, Super Runners Shop, World of Disney, Zarin Fabric Warehouse, and more.
