We’ve received a bunch of emails in the past few weeks from people asking us what gifts we recommend for the holidays. We figured why not do a post and share our suggestions with everyone? There’s truly so much great product coming out of New York so it was hard to narrow down our suggestions to only 10. Here’s a variety of stuff that we thought would make great gifts to anyone who loves New York skateboarding. Check your local skate shops for availability and pricing.
Full Bleed Book
The best book out there capturing New York City skateboarding’s history through photography. Full Bleed is 300+ pages of some of the most amazing skateboarding photos shot within the five boroughs. [more about Full Bleed]

Original SHUT boards were known for their unique shapes back in the day and this deck continues just that. Rodney also makes special customized decks; stop by the SHUT shop on Orchard Street to find out what’s available. [more about SHUT]

Hopps (owned by skateboardig OG Jahmal Williams) has one of our favorite slogans ever – “Keep It Moving”. The KIM mug is a great way to stay motivated on the daily while drinking your morning coffee. [more about Hopps]
Quartersnacks Beanies
If it wasn’t for Quartersnacks our site NYSkateboarding.com would not exist. They’ve begun to start making some QS gear available (including decks) online and in shops this year and most recently added beanies to the mix. Pick up a beanie and support one of the best skateboarding/rap sites on the internet! [more about Quartersnacks]

If you’re looking for some unique jewelry El Señor has some amazing pieces. Founded by OG skateboarder Spencer Fujimoto, El Señor includes a collection of hand designed medallions and rings available in a variety of metals paying homage to iconic skate spots. Our favorite of course is the Brooklyn Banks Medallion which comes in either Gold, Gun Metal or Rhodium. [more about El Señor]
