Gift guide 2012: NYC-themed gifts

Buy one of these NYC gifts for yourself, a tourist or someone who just has an undying love for this city.

Iconic "I heart New York" shirts aren’t the only way to show love for this city. These jewelry pieces, home goods and accessories are a subtle nod to the Big Apple. Give the gift of storage with a Module R trunk emblazoned with the subway map or present pretty baubles in the form of a bracelet in the shape of the Brooklyn Bridge from Site NYC.
