More Holiday Gift Guide 2007


Tonight (Dec. 13) some 150 shops in Park Slope are staying open until 10pm to celebrate the season!

This first-annual Snowflake Celebration is also a way for us to thank our neighbors for shopping locally this holiday and all throughout the year. Come out tonight to share in the cheer!

Now, if you're still looking for great gifts, you have plenty of time. Naturally, Greenjeans has something special for everyone on your list (and for you!). We box things up very nicely, too, and ship anywhere in the world.

Style meets substance, craft becomes luxury, and luxury is always a great gift!

TO ORDER: Call us at 718-907-5835 or email info@greenjeansbrooklyn.com. Great items also available in our online store! Remember, we ship anywhere...

Porcelain cups, bowls, and plates in holiday vintage colors like dark red and cream by Mary Anne Davis ($18-$116).

Who doesn't wish they owned a classic picnic basket? This one by Ray Lagasse is perfection ($300).

And if you like that one, we have lots more... ($80-$450).

Looking for something fabulous and slightly off-the-wall? A finger puppet by Japanese puppet maker Aya*shii will amaze and delight ($200).

Sculptural plates by Chris Rom and Geoff Buddie would also fit the bill (though they're more "on-the-wall"...) ($100 each).

This chunky brushed silver ring beats five golden ones any day. By Chelle Kraus.

Adorn with this ginko-shaped pendant fashioned from a photo of an orchid set in a sterling silver bezel. By Alison Mackey ($150).


Warm and SOFT, these handwoven scarves and shawls by Brooklyn weaver Susan Weltman make luxurious yet practical gifts ($80-$200).

Built from hand-tooled stainless steel, fine leather, and rivets, the Slim Bag by Wendy Stevens evokes the chic of a sleek and sexy Art Deco lighter ($360).

A pleasing covered pot to keep cloves of garlic fresh. By John Zentner ($35).

Fine texture, rich color, and a pleasing shape. We have only two of these teacup and saucer sets, and they make a lovely pair. By John Zentner ($36 each. Call to order.)

Snow white and iceberg blue swirl around this porcelain tea bowl by Kit Cornell ($25).

The armless Eberhart Rocking Chair by Brian Braskie is handsome, gorgeously finished, and a very pleasant seat ($750, call for orders and availability).

Our freshly replenished supply of Solmate Socks runneth over... ($16-$20, sizes infant to adult).

In refreshing candy colors, Renato Foti's fused glass coasters are a great "little something" ($28 per pair).

Reclaimed fabrics in sun-washed stripes (remember summer?) cover these riveted journals and albums by local art teacher Beth Riemer ($28-52).

Nativity Set by Jane Kaufmann ($225. Smaller set also available.)

Children's books published by Brooklyn's-own sister-run Enchanted Lion Books are artfully illustrated and tell extraordinary tales. 7 titles available ($16.95).

Hand-cut dovetails and a satiny finish are the hallmarks of quality that distinguish David Emerson's Shaker totes. Use them to help organize your mail, your project table, or your electronics. ($82-$170).

Any artists on your list? They would love one of these artist's brushes handmade from natural animal fibers and bamboo by Keith Lebenzon ($25-$170).

When you purchase a stylish boiled wool scarf by Hiroko Kurihara, you are also donating a handmade polar fleece scarf to the Park Slope Women's Shelter. Double happiness! ($80-$215).

Made from reclaimed sweaters, Judy Geagley's stuffed baby toys are as sweet and well-loved as her bears, bunnies, and Humpty Dumptys ($15. A big order of Judy's toys is on its way!)

A friendly angel with peaceful wishes by Jane Kaufmann ($25).

This wagon filled with blocks is toddler-perfect. Toxin-free, it is made of 100% untreated Maine pine by Frank Ridley ($49).

Bring an elegant funkiness to your look wearing a artisan-made bracelet by Lisa Crowder, Valerie Mitchell, or Kristina Kada ($125-$410).

Perfect for holiday parties, succulent green stones adorn these delicious necklaces and earrings by Chelle Kraus ($60-$180).
