Making Memories in the City That Never Sleeps: Gifts for Someone Moving to New York

If you want to become a real New Yorker, there’s only one rule: You have to believe New York is, has been, and always will be the greatest city on earth. The center of the universe.” – ELLEN R. SHAPIRO

It is almost impossible to mention states in the USA without mentioning New York, that state stands tall amongst so many others, and it is one state that represents its name and lives up to its standard. It could get a bit pricey sometimes and often pretty busy; I mean, wall street is in this state, so what do you expect? 

People move to different cities or states for various reasons, however, one of the main reasons people move to New York is because of “the hustle” yes, New York is one busy state; its city is alive 24/7, the hustle and bustle life has New York as one of its major centers, not for me though, I prefer a peaceful and quiet Texas life, lol. 

Well, one of the best ways to show someone how much you care about them is by getting a gift, gift giving remains one of the best ways to put a smile on people’s faces and for that extraordinary person in your life who is making this big leap, I get it why you’ll want to grab something for them. Without much ado, these are some lovely gifts for someone moving to new york.

4. Travel Umbrella

While New York isn’t the rainiest state or the sunniest, it still experiences quite an amount of rain; I mean, it rains more in New York than in London. However, most New Yorkers are often on the road,

and while the day may not start as being too sunny, if you stay on the road for long, it starts to get pretty hot; the same applies to a rainy season in New York. These are some cool gifts for someone moving out of state

So, you can agree that your dear soon-to-be New Yorker deserves a good travel umbrella.

5. Books (about New York)

Generally, I’ll suggest you get them books; I mean, it’s quite a ride from wherever they are to New York, even if they go by flight; navigating the city with buses or trains can be a bit boring, with some of the books you may get them, they can keep themselves occupied.

It is best to get your dear receiver a book they’ll love, but for a new corner, I suggest you go for something that will help them understand New York properly.

While we don’t wish bad on your dear receiver, it is always a fact that it is better to be safe than sorry, so you should get your receiver this lovely subtle alarm siren.

You can do without a MetroCard, especially if you stay pretty far from where you work and need a train to navigate your way; as I noted, part of what constitutes a New Yorker’s life is the expenses, at least for a month or two they’ll not have to deal with subscribing a whopping $130 for the monthly New York MetroCard.
