Christmas is here and if you haven’t shopped, you have to start. We are just as behind as you are and have put together a list of great stocking stuffers. We compiled a quick list of items that you can pick up (Mostly) around New York City or order online in enough time for Christmas. A stocking stuffer should always be small, but creative. Deodorant, soap, candy and batteries are terrible gifts and should not be in the equation.
Wilderwoman Album by Lucius – Lucius is one of the hottest bands in music right now. About a year ago they were opening acts at Terminal 5 in New York City and now their shows sell out instantly. While they might seem like a “girl power” type of band their sound is haunting, upbeat and packed with energy.
