Cutest store. Find gifts for everyone!!!!!

I love Brooklynski.

Discovered this little store by accident and it quickly became my number one spot for gifts. I can find lots of cool stuff for everyone. From mom,over to friends and grandparents. They have such a great choice of little unusual gifts, you will not only want to buy for your friends and family but also for yourself!

Great greeting cards and really cute jewelry. I bought a great winter tote at Brooklynski.

They have great journals, candles and diffusers, books and lots of great stuff for babies! Last time I went there they had a 50% off on selected items sale and I thought it was great. The location might be not too convenient but if you are shopping on Bedford Ave, just walk a bit further down Driggs Ave and stop by Brooklynski. You will love it

• Pros: very nice and helpful girl in the store
• Cons: none

Cozy boutique with novel gifts for the artsy Greenpoint set.

In Short
The store's name is an homage to this gift store's Polish neighborhood. The inventory, however, appeals to the local Wes Anderson-watching, Belle and Sebastian-listening demographic with a taste for all things quirky and twee. The shop's narrow interior is host to a bevy of neatly displayed wares, from cute Austin Press handmade notecards adorned with vintage illustrations to Saltbox totebags sporting nature prints. The picture frames made from recycled barn wood and the recycled vintage, handcrafted jewelry from Ornamental Things are perfect gifts for stylish, eco-conscious Brooklynites.

Hits: The store's gifts appeal to a wide array of people, from the suburban mom to the local hipster.

Misses: The store's Greenpoint location means it's not super convenient to Manhattan or parts of brownstone Brooklyn.
