A gingerbread house by Erin licensed under Creative Commons.

That special person who loves dense, walkable, transit-oriented urban places deserves a gift that fits their passions, so GGWash took a few ideas from last year’s gift guide and added some fresh inspiration. Stay on the “nice” list with practical gifts, make-it-yourself gifts, and aspirational gifts for the urban-dwellers in your life. If some of these things don’t exist, maybe they should.

We love a good gingerbread house construction session. But what’s missing (besides the middle)? They always seem to be single-family homes! Time to upzone the North Pole: give the gift of a gingerbread duplex or even a quadplex. The construction materials probably aren’t quite up to a towering skyscraper, but let’s start somewhere. Like many seniors, Santa needs a rightsized dwelling, and we think the elves might appreciate more workforce housing, too.

Previous suggestions include a soft, huggable Nimbee (this is real), Neighborhood Preserves (this isn’t real), and transit-oriented scarves (this is real).
