Worth it
  • Address32-15 33rd St, Astoria, NY 11106
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Discovering a true gem of a store is a rare delight, and for me, that spot is Lockwood in Queens. With two locations across the street from each other, one a fashion store and the other among the best gift shops in NYC, the gift shop steals the spotlight.

Functioning like a market under one roof, it showcases artisanal candles, mugs, throw blankets, postcards, and books from various small businesses and vendors. When in need of a unique and quirky gift, Lockwood is my go-to store, brimming with eclectic finds that quickly inspire the perfect choice.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
