As part our our "Shop Hoboken!" series, today,
Hoboken Now
ferrets out some low-cost holiday presents that you can buy right here in Hoboken.
There's still time to have a custom T-Shirt ($14 to $22), sweatshirt (around $20-$25), baseball hat ($9.95) or mug ($6.95) created at
United Decorating
, 421 Washington St., for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list. The catch: you must order them by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
The store, which has been in Hoboken and owned by a single family since 1899 (the store used to sell mostly flags, decorations and costumes), also offers an adorable selection of Hoboken-themed infant onesies, $9.95 (
Hoboken Now
couldn't resist buying one of those), as well as Hoboken T-shirts $9.95-$11.95), sweatshirts ($18.95-$25.95) and hats ($9.95).
United Decorating also sells a large selection of flags for your favorite international transplant and really great "Birthplace of Baseball and Sinatra" Hoboken pens (they write really smoothly) for just 99 cents each (we stocked up on these, too).
City Discount
, another Hoboken tradition, having opened 40 years ago at 207 Washington St., offers a wide selection of affordable clothing and accessories.
Gift possibilities include Hoboken T-shirts in two styles $10, scarves for $8 and a pajama set that is wrapped with a gift bag and a bow for just $12.
