This week at Refinery29, the editors present their first of three Give It Up holiday gift guides. The premiere installment focuses on some of the standout boutiques in New York's newest style center, Williamsburg. In true Refinery29 fashion they have thought of everything, balancing the guide between men's and women's items, expensive stores and hidden deals, and they've even included four excellent eateries where you can have a healthy repast during your marathon shopping sessions. And just to ease some of the pressure off your already ballooning holiday budgets, you'll find a 20% off coupon for many of the stores. Back to the regular scheduled programming, Refinery29 brings you a feature on Opening Ceremony's in-house collection and Barbara Feinman's whimsical and retro hat shop.
