This holiday season, skip the ordinary and give a gift that truly stands out: one that celebrates local businesses and experiences right here in Downtown Lansing. Whether you’re shopping for the history buff, the book lover, the plant enthusiast, or the young artist in your life, Downtown Lansing has something creative for everyone on your list.
For the history lover: Give the gift of exploration with a membership to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum. Members enjoy unlimited admission, exclusive events, shop discounts and a front-row seat to Lansing’s automotive heritage — all year long. reoldsmuseum.org/support/membership
For the flower fanatic: A Market Bouquet subscription from Sparrow Bloom brings beauty to every season. Recipients receive fresh, artfully arranged blooms delivered regularly, turning any space into a small sanctuary of color and joy. sparrowbloom.com/shop/p/market-bouquet-subscription
For the bookworm: Surprise the reader in your life with a Book Box Subscription from A Novel Concept. Available for both children and adults, each box is hand-curated with a new read or two, and thoughtful goodies that make curling up with a good book even more delightful. anovelconcept517.com/book-box-subscriptions
For the young creative: Invest in inspiration with a summer camp experience from All of the Above Hip Hop Academy. Their camps combine dance, music, and mentorship to empower kids through the art and culture of hip hop, making for an unforgettable gift that lasts long after summer ends. alloftheabovehiphop.org/summercamp
By choosing gifts from local businesses and organizations, you’re not only giving something meaningful, you’re helping to keep Michigan’s Downtown vibrant and thriving.
So this year, think outside the box — and give a little bit of Lansing.
