In the down-to-the-wire dash for presents before the holiday, what is the savvy gift -giver to do?

Perhaps you’re uninspired by the offerings inside the city’s stretches of big box stores or you need a last-minute gift for your cousin’s new girlfriend who is now crashing Christmas dinner.

Either way, there’s no time for shipping the perfect gift. And the Omicron COVID-19 variant has limited options and changed the calculus of holiday plans.

But there’s a treasure trove of unique trinkets, clothing and keepsakes inside the Big Apple’s museum gift shops.

Below is a selection of gifts from the city’s cultural institutions that will delight everyone — from children to adults — on your Christmas list.
