My 10 Favorite Museum Gift Shops

I cannot tell you enough how much I love museum gift shops. You find some of the most unique items in these shops, and lucky for us, NYC has some fantastic museums. These are the 10 which I feel you should visit when in the city, and if looking for a gift for someone, you will probably find that special gift in one of these shops. I love original gift giving, I hate giving the same old stuff everyone else has, we want original, artisan items. You can also shop at many of these wonderful places without paying the fee to enter the museum if you are just looking to shop their products. The best thing as well is most of them have online shops so you can shop from your own couch, and have it shipped to you or direct to your favorite person!

In no particular order:

1. Brooklyn Museum
2. Metropolitan Museum of Art
3. MAD Museum
4. Cooper Hewitt 
5. MOMA
6. Neue Galerie
7. The Frick
8. Rubin Museum of Art
9. Museum of the City of NY
10. The Morgan Library and Museum

New York Historical Society Gift Shop

We are back at the New York Historical Society today, checking out their gift shop. I always have told you that if you are looking to shop for unique gifts in the city, museum shops are the best. You find things you will not find anywhere else and the receiver will be very happy.  
Their cafe titled Parliament Espresso and Coffee has some great items, like this nutella croissant.  
These necklaces just blew my mind and the prices were very reasonable. Needless to say, one did go home with me and I wear it very often.  
Gorgeous selection of Tiffany products with their wonderful new Tiffany lamp exhibit. That will be featured here very shortly, it is such an amazing exhibit and one that is ongoing at the historical society.  

Fun handbags  
Many cool items regarding the women's movement and right to vote  

This bag which features Bill Cunningham was so darn awesome! I would have loved to take it home, but I refrained myself and just went with the necklace. What a fun gift for the Bill Cunningham fan!
