There’s something about December in Brooklyn that encourages a slower pace. The light shifts, the streets soften, and the days take on a quieter rhythm. Here at The Shop BK, we’re embracing that same feeling. Our community team is working to create opportunities and space for our community to wind down the year, reconnect with each other, and enjoy a few small, cozy moments as we close out our first season in Gowanus. Be sure to bookmark this calendar of December Events in Brooklyn to reference all month long!
Whether you’re putting the finishing touches on a big project, meeting with clients before the holidays, or simply stopping in between celebrations, we hope this month brings a sense of calm and connection. Below is a look at what’s planned throughout December, with a balance of low-lift gatherings and thoughtful touchpoints designed to make your workdays just a little easier.
All Month Long: Complimentary Gift-Wrapping Station
To help lighten your to-do list, we’ll have a self-serve gift-wrapping station available throughout the month. Stop by anytime to wrap presents using our selection of simple, festive paper and twine. It’s our way of adding a little ease (and a little fun) to your holiday season at The Shop BK.
