De Kompleet Wafel Kit

$6.95 at Arcadia, 228 8th Ave. (betw. W. 21st & W. 22nd Sts.), 212-243-5358 If you’ve had tough luck finding Wafels & Dinges, the truck that drives around town serving Euro-style waffles with toppings like Nutella, ice cream, Belgian chocolate or bananas, fret no more. The team behind the bright yellow truck has made the mix for its Brussels-style waffles available in a convenient at-home version. It’s less exciting than eschewing your morning oatmeal and coffee for an ice cream-covered waffle (and you’ll have to provide your own toppings, always a bummer) but it beats the hell out of Aunt Jemima.

Old Fashioned Doll

$10 at Kiosk, 95 Spring St. (betw. Mercer St. & Broadway), 212-226-8601 We like to think of this little lady as plastic contraception. She kind of reminds us of our high school health class where carrying a flour baby was supposed to teach you the consequences of taking too much pleasure in playing Seven Minutes In Heaven—oh the joys of youth. Now we’re at the age where everyone we know has babies on their brains and are getting pregnant—on purpose. Give this gift to friends with an unhealthy preoccupation with procreation as a test trial to teach them it’s a lot harder to get busy in a closet when you have a baby—even a plastic one.

Cookies

$4 each at Levain Bakery, 167 W. 74th St. (betw. Amsterdam & Columbus Aves.), 212-874-6080 It’s a bit of a trek, but the cookies at Levain’s—available in Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip and Oatmeal Raisin—are worth the subway swipe. The Chocolate Chip Walnut is the best, but all have their charms. At $4 a pop, the price tag might turn some away, but trust us, these cookies are not overpriced. Each one is easily the size of a modest muffin, and when we got home after an hourlong commute, the chocolate chips in the center of each cookie were still melting and chewy. Milk Bar might be all the rage, but Levain’s will be the gift that keeps on giving.
