I live in NYC with two kids. Living here with children isn't for everyone, and it's not for most people. Having the right gear makes all the difference. When buying gifts for city families, be sure to buy items that are versatile, practical, and space-efficient. City moms rarely have cars, so "on the go" and high-quality "in the elements" gifts are especially useful. Here are a few ideas to get you started...
The Ergo baby carrier is the only choice for city moms. You can put your baby in front or on your back, and it's incredibly comfortable and well-designed. They have an infant insert for newborns, and you can carry a child who weighs 40+ pounds on your back! I have the organic cotton carrier in black.

I use this serving platter every single day. It fits in my galley kitchen counter-top as my modern twist on a fruit bowl. It's perfect for appetizers, cookies, sushi, and can even double as home decor. She'll love it for its size, versatility, and style. $38
Saltwater sandals are my favorite for me too (not just my kiddos). I love that they are waterproof and incredibly comfortable. Perfect for the city.
I don't think there is a better gift than giving an opportunity for an experience. Educational or otherwise. $45 for a French macaron or chocolate souffle workshop? Yes, please.
