The good news: Brooklyn’s best-loved boutique, Sweet William, has just opened a Nolita location.

The bad news: You still can’t afford to live there.

So we asked owner-mom-style maven Bronagh Staley to create a holiday gifting cheat sheet — getting you in and out on your lunch hour.

Dido Baby Shoes, $78
Add a little twinkle to her toes with glittering gold Mary Jane-style moccasins from April Showers by Polder.

Sort-a-Shape House, $29
A new creation from Kid O, this wooden box encourages children ages 1 and up to put color-coded forms into corresponding spaces. Hours of doors, chimneys, and windows await.

Hooded Vest by Talc, $158
Give the gift of warmth with a chic rabbit fur vest lined in cozy gray wool. We’re hoping to find a matching number for ourselves under the tree.

Hansa Sitting Deer, $76
Skip the puppy (this year) and surprise him with a lifelike plush deer. Each of the handcrafted animals comes with info about habitat, lifestyle, and feeding.

A to Z Magnatab, $20
Foster a love of writing with a magnetic letter board. Simply trace the letters with the stylus and tiny metal balls pop up to fill in the lines. Easy-to-follow arrows and no-fuss erasing make learning fun.

Available at Sweet William, 85 Kenmare Square, between Lafayette and Mulberry Streets (212-343-7301); 112 North Sixth Street, at Berry Street, Williamsburg (718-218-6946 or sweetwilliamltd.com).
