Pylones
69 Spring St., nr. Lafayette St. 212-431-3244
You’ve forgotten to get your best friend’s kid a birthday present. Somebody at work is leaving. Secret Santa! These are the times to turn to Pylones, supplier of colorful tchotchkes. No one needs a box cutter in the shape of a trout ($16) or a mermaid hairbrush ($20), but their items are so cheerfully of the neon, polka-dot, and striped gestalt that they’ll always get a smile.
