The Shops

If you're like us and are constantly perusing the Etsy app, the holidays are a great time to support independent creators. To make your shopping a bit easier, we've put together a list of five great Etsy shops selling Hoboken-themed gifts, from ornaments and art prints to baby onesies and t-shirts.

We first learned about local illustrator and stationery designer Katie Cavallaro when we saw her colorful map prints in shops around town (like Kanibal & Co.), but her full collection is also available on Etsy. Her holiday cards are super adorable, and we're partial to the Christmas houses. Her Hoboken prints are a solid pick for a gallery wall in any home on this side of the Hudson.

Hometown Hello

You've probably seen Hometown Hello's handcrafted, custom gifts at local shops like the Washington General Store and Bell, Book & Candle, but they can also be ordered on Etsy. For the holidays, we can't get enough of the wooden ornaments — especially the ones engraved with Hoboken's coordinates (40°44'32"N / 74°01'56"W) and the iconic 07030 zip code. The coasters, mugs, and decorative signs are great, too. If you love the look but need a gift for someone out of town, most of the products are customizable with zip code or city/state.

Local Tip

Hometown Hello gifts work beautifully as a housewarming present for clients or friends who just closed on their first Hoboken home. The 07030 ornament practically sells itself.

The "fun, comfy clothes for babies, kids, and adults" from hudson & asher feature the neighborhoods of Hoboken and the Heights. The apparel ranges from baseball caps and tote bags to tank tops and sweatshirts, all carrying that HBKN identity we love. We especially love the baby onesies, most of which are also available at the Washington General Store. There are also prints for framing depicting Hoboken maps and fun local landmarks.

Thinking about making Hoboken home? Our team has closed over $3 billion in Hudson County sales. We know every block, every building, and every local shop between the waterfront and the Heights.
