Abracadabra is a wonderful place to take your kids on a weekend jaunt to the city. It's filled with magic tricks and practical jokes. Whoopee cushions. Trick cards. Magic wands. My kids come here and get lost for hours. The owner is also very nice and sometimes performs tricks for the kids. Try leaving the store without buying something.

Fabulous, unique baby and children's gifts!! Everything is sweet but chic. The indispensable canvas tote, embroidered burp cloth sets, and personalized gingham robes are adorable. The web site is convenient and a breeze to use. Also, the "crayon apron" and bath buddies are great for the 3 year olds! They even have personalized party favors for the busiest of moms.
Pros: Owner has great eye and taste level; innovative ideas; great web site

What do you get for the boyfriend who has everything? Go to the pleasure chest and find out. I've been here for gifts for my guy and he's never been disappointed. If you aren't ready for the wild stuff go for the milder "creams and potions" type stuff. The kama sutra weekender kit is the PERFECT gift. It has massage oil, honey dust, etc...all mini sizes...perfect to pack for a romantic trip! This is also the NYC destination for bachelorette party gifts! Go check it out...staff is friendly...and the store is clean and not in the least sleazy.
Pros: Variety, customer service.
Cons: The s*x and the city bus tour stops here and the store is packed during those 15 minutes or so!

Babeland is awesome. Not only is it a terrific company that is actually owned by women. Babeland is fairly progressive and supportive to the communities it represents. Babeland also has amazing toys of all kinds that are really high quality and good. I mean, if you order the cheap stuff you get the cheap stuff no matter where you shop, but this place has some really good stuff.. All of the customer service I have gotten from them has been excellent. If you call or email they actually know their stuff and help you. They are like experts. I always get all my packages on time and I know they don't charge you until you they ship to you. I called and asked after I read the last review. Honestly, if you have an interest in fun just check out their website.
Pros: Friendly women, Nice Website, Very informative, helpful customer service

I ordered 4 different arrangements from here for our 10th anniversary, to be delivered each of the four days we were staying in NYC. Let me just say that EACH and EVERY flower was perfect, and the vases they arrived in were spectacular!!! They are artists in every sense of the word. My partner was brought to tears by the absolute beauty of these works of art, and I would recommend this company to everyone! The staff was extremely attentive and lovely to deal with, especially Gabriella. I hope that a lot of people read this and keep this place in business forever! I don't know where they find their flowers, but they sure know what they're doing! Thank you, Kampo Floral, for making our 10th even more special!! (And for making our hotel room gorgeous!)
Pros: Everything about their service! (Flowers are fresh, arrangements GORGEOUS, etc.)
Cons: None

This place is a necessity when gift shopping for virtually anyone. You can fin really cool but practical items to completely ridiculous but fun like packing tape with bacon on it (which I guess is kind of useful). The prices range from okay to very expensive, so definitely reserved for buying for others only. Also, as a bonus I once saw Hugh Jackman shopping with his family here.

We were so thrilled with the flowers at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We got married under a gorgeous and unique candle-lit curly willow arch, delicately interwoven with white flowers and scattered white butterflies---people are still commenting about it! We were on a fairly limited budget for some NYC standards and really shopped around. Although we found lower estimates, after meeting with Thomas of Prudence, it was clear that although this may have been a little higher priced than the others (although still reasonable,) there was no question that we would go with anyone else but Prudence. Not only is their knowledge of flowers and level of taste of the highest standards, but their ability to listen and translate our desires into reality was spot on. Thomas spent an incredible amount of time with me (even walked through the flower district selecting exact flowers a week before the wedding,) my family and working with the wedding venue to make sure everything ran so smoothly. The Prudence staff stayed at the wedding, through the cocktail hour, to make adjustments and to make sure that everything was what we wanted. When you are putting so much of your efforts and thoughts into planning that "one big day" it is their level of conscientiousness and attention to detail, and knowing that we could trust our florist that was so important to us. The entire Prudence staff was not only so pleasant and easy to work with, but, most important to planning an event, we always KNEW we could trust them and that they were going to make everything just right...and they did!
Pros: High level of taste & detail, easy to work with & So Nice
Cons: NONE

Takishimaya is a lovely Japanese dpeartment store. As other reviewers note, many of the goods are quite expensive, but this is as it should be. This is a high-end luxury retailer selling mostly Japanese goods, and the quality certainly matches the price, although it may be more quality than you need. This is a wonderful place for buying gifts as everything is packaged and wrapped beautifully, and they have a nice cafe.
