Unique NYC Gifts for Travelers (That Aren't Tacky Souvenirs)
New York City inspires millions of visitors every year — but most of them go home with the same mass-produced snow globe or I ♥ NY t-shirt. If you want to give (or keep) something that actually captures the spirit of NYC, here's what to look for.
Why Printed Gifts Beat Generic Souvenirs
Mass-produced souvenirs are made in bulk with no personality. Printed-to-order gifts are made specifically for the person receiving them — and they last.
The Statue of Liberty: An Icon Worth Celebrating
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable landmarks on earth. A doodle-style illustration of Lady Liberty on a ceramic mug is the kind of gift that sits on someone's desk for years — not in a drawer.
