Here are some great suggestions for gifts that both nice to receive and help to support the institutions that make Brooklyn a wonderful place to live:

 

YMCA Memberships and Gifts

 

Gift cards in denominations of $25, $50, or $100 that can be used towards anything the Y offers (membership, personal training, classes, etc.)  People also do purchase memberships, massage therapy or personal training sessions as gifts outright. The YMCA is a 501 (c)3 not-for-profit.

 

For Bosom Buddies

La Leche League Membership-- great for new moms! they have 2 monthly infant meetings, a toddler meeting and extra meetings like the working mothers meeting and Twin Mom meetings.  Members get 10% off of books that we sell and receive a e-zine.

Propsect Park Trees

This holiday, you can give anyone on your list the very special gift of a tree in Prospect Park – a gift that will not only make them feel good, but will also be good for our neighborhood and environment. Dedicate a tree for as little as $75.

Prospect Park Zoo (you may be able to get an unlimited pass to the zoo without becoming a Wildlife Conservation Society Member, but a WCS pass gets you access to the Aquarium and Bronx Zoo)

MoMA family pass gives access to many family programs (technically not in Brooklyn but still awesome)

A gift membership to Park Slope Parents!
