Great for Gifts: Blue Ribbon General Store and Scaredy Kat

2 Comments

I’ve been hearing about Blue Ribbon General Store located at 365 State Street in Boerum Hill for some time. And this morning I read about it on The Daily Yelp Brooklyn. I think it’s going to be a stop on my holiday shopping itinerary.

June W is such a fan of Blue Ribbon General Store that she almost kept it a secret — thankfully her love of this "perfect store for gifts (even for someone who has everything)" stocked with a range of goodies "from gigantic rubber ducks, to reprints of old maps of New York" was too mighty to keep to herself

.
Another Yelper is like me. She loves Scaredy Kat on Fifth Avenue Between Carroll and President. 

Liz S is never frightened that she might not find a stellar present when shopping at Scaredy Kat, where they stock "a perfect balance of kitschy and classy gifts for young and old." She adds that it’s "amazing that a store so small can be chock-full of so many great items."

  1. Oh, if you’re near Blue Ribbon check out Fact & Fancy on Hoyt by Atlantic. Great for gifts too!

  2. I love the Blue Ribbon General store. Great stuff. Best handcream EVER (YuBe from Japan). I’ve always like Skaredy Kat as well, though Nancy and Nancy will be sorely missed this holiday season.
