‘tis the season to shop in williamsburg

places in brooklyn i heard my coworkers chatting about - had to tell you too so we can go together :)

‘tis the season to shop in Williamsburg and honestly, my coworkers have been doing the hard research for me.

Wanted to do a quick check-in early in case you needed ideas for holiday shopping.

Between coffee chats and lunch breaks, these are the Brooklyn spots that keep coming up so, naturally, I had to tell you too.

the list

Mogutable — minimal home goods with a soft, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. Ceramics, glassware, and things you’ll want to gift (or keep for yourself).

Ol Factory — nothing shouts love like a custom perfume and a signature scent. A personalized perfume captures emotion and memory, so to me, it’s very romantic, sensory, and creative. You can make one for your partner, or have a shared experience blending scents together at home.

Leif — full of thoughtful pieces, candles, vases, skincare, textiles — all unique and curated.

COS — minimalistic structured coats, clean lines, and everything you need for your “quiet luxury but actually really warm” winter wardrobe. They have cute and cozy small gifts, like their Cos perfume discovery set, teddy mules & their teddy mittens.

Haricot Vert — a whimsical shop known for its handmade jewelry using vintage components. Some people consider it a DIY “Dreamworld” space for custom jewelry making.

Loaf on Paper — design-forward stationery, notebooks, and cards that make writing things by hand feel special again.

Catbird — a dreamy jewelry atelier known for delicate gold rings and its “forever bracelet” experience (they weld it on so it never comes off. Makes a perfect couple or friendship moment).

Saint Street Cakes — (a couple subway stops from Williamsburg) With so many birthdays around holiday, Saint Street provides dreamy little desserts where every cake almost looks too good to eat.

Anyway, just had to share in case you’re around this weekend. Brooklyn has too many good spots to gatekeep.

Not saying you need an excuse to treat yourself, but if you did, this list would count :)
