Shopping for your girlfriend in New York
Good places to browse in New York include SoHo and Nolita for clothing and design, the Flower District on West 28th Street for bouquets and Strand for books.
The subway reaches most neighbourhoods quickly, and same-day couriers cover the city, so a gift ordered in the morning can be at the door by evening.
Buying for your girlfriend
The best gifts for a girlfriend are specific. Pick a memory, an inside joke or a place, and let the gift point to it.
Pair a small thing she can use with one that is purely sentimental.
If you are shopping at the last minute
Shipping deadlines matter in December, but digital gifts do not. Spa vouchers, cinema vouchers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Wrap something small to open on the day itself. A game or letter can sit under the tree as a card even though it is a digital gift.
A gift that does not depend on New York
Shops in New York cannot sell this one: a pixel game with her as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your story. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.
