Due to a never-ending lineup of birthday parties, you reluctantly ordered 25 Thomas the Tank Engine play tents online at midnight.

But no matter how you wrap it, nothing beats a handpicked gift from Honey & Hazel Kids in East Williamsburg. Owner and new mom Mel Gorski stocks the pint-size version of her grown-up shop with homegrown indie spirit.

Indulge Brooklyn centricity with a Maptote onesie or a Gnome Enterprises tee of a squid swallowing the Brooklyn Bridge. Surprise an artsy toddler with paint-your-own wooden dolls and an easy-to-pack dollhouse by Goose Grease. Please little locavores with products made by local ladies: Rebecca Rosen’s bibdanas (yes, bibs that look like a Western hero’s neckwear), Diana Peixado’s hand-knit animal hats, and Bettina Dascoli’s cotton tees finished with capes.

Now you’re on the right track.
