The OTBKB Holiday Gift Guide is a work in progress. But you can check it out as I go.

Yesterday I started on the 2007 Holiday Gift Guide and I did just about all the stores on Fifth Avenue from Degraw to Fourth Street, as well Knit Therapy, Orange Blossom, and Mandala on Lincoln Place east of Seventh Avenue.

So take a look at the gift guide. There’s still a lot missing. But I will be filling in as I get around town over the next few days. Check it out.

The photo shown is a new store on Fifth Avenue called Brooklyn Mercantile, which may be a one-stop-shopping paradise for Hanukah/Christmas gifts. They’ve got a variety of interesting items to choose from including, journals, runners for festive tables, candles, glassware, plates, vases, artwork, soaps, and more. Very unusual selection.
