Till Next Time!

The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park are being loaded out, just a few structures remain, and all the gifts have been opened, reviewed, and widely admired. But here at Bryant Park we're interested in what you think, so email us (scroll to "contact us" on the left) and let us know what shops you love, what you'd like to see, and how we can make the shops better. And vendors, we'd love your opinion, too. For those interested in becoming a vendor, please contact ID&A at 212-382-2953. Best to all and have a great new year.

Keep All Your Soaps in a Row

Soap is ducky, and it helps if your kids think so, too. So visit Children's Treasures/Just Bubbly in Bryant Park's holiday shops and stock up on soaps for your kids. They'll have tons of fun keeping clean with these adorable duck soaps, available in almost any kind of duck imaginable:

Hockey ducks! And the wedding couple is perfect for favors at the reception. These can be custom made with all the wedding info on the tags. And talk about good party favors, look at the frog princes next to the wedding couple. They're perfect for your attendants and wedding showers (no pun intended).

Another great way to make bath time more enjoyable for the kids? These fish-in-a-bag soaps, how clever. Best, these water-based, glycerin soaps are all hand-made through a vegan process, so they contain no animal products and are hypoallergenic.

Be sure to visit Children Treasure's website, as this hometown family business (they're based in Rockaway Beach) does a lot more than soaps. And if there's a special duck you've just got to have, let them know and they might make it special just for you.

Pretty Things

Look at this trio of necklaces from MeeHee. And this one below,

and more pretty things...

I would fight you for any of them, especially that pretty flower choker (above,) and the gold ring on the black ribbon (top) that is just begging for a Donna Karan dress. Not to mention these elegant sterling silver earrings:

MeeHee makes your holiday shopping so easy. The prices (around $39 - $159) are shockingly reasonable for this jewelry hand made with either sterling silver or 14k gold, and maybe fresh water pearls or semi-precious stones. And none of this Black Friday 4am madness; just leisurally stroll into Bryant Park sometime this lovely holiday weekend.
