Alright, so you’re tellin’ me someone’s movin’ to the big ol’ New York City? Well, bless their heart, that’s a whole different world than here, I tell ya. They gonna need some things, that’s for sure. Let me think a bit, what kinda stuff would help ’em out in that concrete jungle?
First off, they gotta get around, right? This “Subway app” thing, folks keep talkin’ ’bout it. Sounds fancy, but I guess it helps ya figure out them underground trains. Can’t be too hard, can it? And a “metro card,” that’s like their ticket, I reckon. Make sure it’s got plenty of money on it, or they’ll be stuck like a fly in honey. And if they are going everywhere by subway, noise canceling headphones are a must have one, it can make the journey less noisy.
Now, the weather in that city, it ain’t like here. They get all sorts of crazy weather. So, a good “umbrella,” a strong one, mind you, is a must. And when it gets cold, oh boy, it gets cold. They’ll need “rain boots,” “snow boots,” “scarves,” “gloves,” them “ear muffs” things too, to keep warm. City folk might be fancy, but they ain’t immune to the cold, I betcha.
- Getting Around:
- Subway App
- Metro Card
- Weather Gear:
- Good Umbrella
- Rain Boots
- Snow Boots
- Scarves, Gloves, Ear Muffs
Food’s another thing. City’s expensive, they say. So, a “Duane Reade Gift Card,” that’s like a drugstore, right? They can get their toothpaste and snacks there. And this “Pret a Manger gift card,” sounds foreign, but I heard it’s a place to get sandwiches and such. Handy for when they’re running around and don’t have time to cook.
And for keepin’ busy, there’s this “MoMA membership.” That’s a museum, a big fancy one. If they’re into that art stuff, it’ll give ‘em somethin’ to do besides starin’ at skyscrapers all day. And if they are tired of walking, they can try the “citibike membership”, so they can ride around the city and see everything they want.
Now, where to get all this stuff? Well, there’s places online, I hear. This “Giftory” place, they got all kinds of gifts, and they even give ya a discount sometimes, somethin’ ’bout “SUMMER15” code. And “Etsy,” that’s where folks sell handmade stuff, if you want somethin’ special. But you gotta be careful, don’t get tricked by them fancy city prices. And don’t forget those “gifts gifts gifts” ads, sometimes those are scams.
Another thing is that you can just buy “hamper” on line, those hampers have everything that a newcomer might need. It will save you much trouble to choosing what to buy. They also got those “Award Winning Hampers”, they are more expensive but they must have better quality.
And listen, tell ’em to keep their wits about ’em. City’s full of all kinds, good and bad. They gotta be smart, and they gotta be tough. But with a little help and these gifts, they’ll be alright. They’ll figure it out. City life might be fast and loud, but it can be excitin’ too. Just tell ‘em to remember where they came from, and don’t go gettin’ too big for their britches, ya hear?
So that’s it. A few things to help ’em get started. Now, go on and get them presents ready, and tell ’em I said good luck. They’re gonna need it!
