Black Friday is over, but the fun has just begun. Take advantage of these six new pop-up stores before time runs out and you’re forced to buy everyone presents from the holiday aisle of Duane Reade.

VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS

With the brand celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Dylan’s Candy Bar
is opening a “Christmas in Candyland”-themed holiday pop-up store, located across from Bryant Park. “It’s this crazy Candyland right in the middle of the corporate world,” says founder Dylan Lauren. “So when you go by it, you’re like, what the heck was that?” But the rainbow effect outside is nothing compared to what’s inside, including a life-size gingerbread house. For holiday cheer every day, try the candy bar Advent calendar ($12).

1095 Sixth Ave.; through Jan. 8.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

The pages of Real Simple magazine are always pristine. The Real Simple booth in Bryant Park this year is no different, bringing to life the pages of the December issue. “Our process for choosing each gift in the gift guide is painstaking,” says Kristin van Ogtrop, the magazine’s managing editor. Their pain is your gain, as evidenced by the array of great stocking stuffers, like a fun, colorful, electric toothbrush ($15) or delicious gourmet spiced ketchup ($7).

Citi Pond at Bryant Park (40th and 42nd streets between Fifth and Sixth avenues); Dec. 8-13.

DOWN TO THE WIRE

Electronics aren’t just for dweebs anymore, and the new 20,000-square-foot Wired magazine pop-up makes that clear. The store’s merchandise is curated by Wired editors, putting a new spin on the gadget store. So why not just go to Best Buy? “Where do I even begin?” asks publisher Howard Mittman with a laugh. “[This] is an experience. It’s more of a gallery-meets-retail environment.” Unique products include such standouts as a 24-karat goldplated Atari gaming console ($6,650). “This isn’t just products on a shelf,” says Mittman. “You can touch, taste, smell, feel the technology, design and innovation.”

42nd Street and Broadway; open Wed.-Sun., through Dec. 24.

WANNA MAKEUP WITH ME?

In the past, The Makeup Show was a trade event for industry folks only, not open to the public. This year, the public finally gets its chance to nab some of the goods at the The Makeup Show Holiday Pop-Up Shop.

“After so many requests, we figured it’d be a good holiday experience to open our doors,” says vice president Shelly Taggar. For two days, customers can stock up on more than 40 hot brands like Stila Cosmetics and Mario Badescu at 20 to 40 percent off. Take it as a chance to stock up on gifts like Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’ “Best of Lip Tar” set ($49.50).

Metropolitan
Pavilion, 123 W.
18th St., fourth floor;
$20
admission; Dec. 2-3.

TIGHTLY BOUND

This year, GQ magazine partners with men’s shopping site Park & Bond with the GQ at Park & Bond pop-up shop.

The store features products from the magazine’s “Best Stuff of the Year 2011,” as well as favorites from the site. “We help guys with their own personal style, whether that style is Park Avenue buttoned-up and tailored or Bond Street contemporary casual, and everything in between,” says John Auerbach, president of Park & Bond. Be sure to check out Auerbach’s favorite item, one of several vintage Rolex watches. ($3,700).

414 W. 14th St., Dec. 8-18.

YOU GOT THE BEAT

Dr. Dre is in the house! Well, his beats are, anyway. This month saw the opening of the first ever Beats by Dr. Dre pop-up shop, featuring the rapper’s namesake headphones. The newest line will be available, as well as limited-edition colors like blue, orange, purple, silver and pink ($299).

These aren’t just any headphones — you’re paying for quality in the form of comfort, style and superior sound isolation.

“It came from a yearning to reverse the damage that the digital revolution did to sound,” says Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine. Come check out the difference for yourself.

67 Greene St.; through Jan. 15.
