A friend of mine recently asked for a good, affordable baby gift idea fo ra “very NYC couple.” I often recommend the NYC ABC book that’s featured in our list of the coolest birthday gifts for 2 year olds, and has appeared in our annual Best Baby Gift Guide, but now I have a few new ideas. Thanks to the collection of NYC baby gifts from Maptote, available from the Store of the Museum of Arts & Design.

I adore the NYC baby blanket, the adorable terry baby romper, the bib… all of it!

These baby gifts are so perfect right now, what with the city opening up again, a contagious joy spreading among all the (smiling!) New Yorkers on the street, and all those delicious bébés out and about in strollers.

If you’re not from New York, but shopping for someone who is, trust me on this one. As a native, I can assure you that one thing New Yorkers love, is telling people that they live in New York.

A close second: Complaining about it. But we won’t get into that right now.
