With the holidays rapidly approaching it’s time to start shopping for presents for all of your loved ones… and maybe a gift or two to give to yourself!

With dozens of businesses in Greenwich Village to choose from, it can be hard to not just give in and purchase your presents at a big box store. That’s why we’ve compiled a local gifting guide of Village merchants to visit this holiday season. And when all else fails, the perfect gift will always be Village Bucks, one gift card that works for dozens of Greenwich Village businesses.
