Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, NY
This is a unique neighborhood store that carries an eclectic mix of gifts, children’s clothes and toys, hand made goods, and some women’s clothing and accessories. There’s a nice mix of handmade items mixed in with unique brands — things you won’t see in other stores. In addition, there’s a gathering space in the back of the store where various children’s classes and events are hosted. I took my son to some movement/​music classes there when he was an infant, and we always enjoyed our time at the class and followed it up with a perusal of the store. I particularly liked the baby clothes and toys. There’s a nice mix of handmade baby items, such as hats and booties, as well as unique bodysuits and baby outfits with handmade details. It’s a good place to pick up a gift for a baby shower.
This store also sometimes hosts children’s events on the weekends — we’ve attended some puppet shows there and always enjoyed it.

Not large selection, tad funky and wouldn’t say «high end» by any means but unique for sure. Good spot for hard to find gift but hit and miss so set expectations properly.

A lovely place for children AND adults. Art work, imported clothing, classes, workshops, all in a beautiful space. Gumbo might be the most tasteful boutique in Brooklyn.

Awesome Things About Gumbo That Each Deserve a Star:
1. The cute little dog that ran up to me when I walked in.
2. The name. (Not to be confused with the Gay DUMBO parties.) It reminds me of a tasty, roux-​based soup. Can’t be bad.
3. The small-​town feel of the place. The proprietor is so nice and trusting. She walked out of the store to get change for another customer while I was perusing. How do you know I’m not a thief? Look at me! I’m shady!
4. The fun selection of clothes, toys, and odd gifts they have in stock. I personally only have illegitimate children, so I didn’t purchase anything this time around. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t, provided that their mothers start returning my phone calls.

Gumbo is an amazing space and retailer. There is a wide selection of toys, clothing, necessities and collectibles. My pre-​schooler loves her Spanish class and mommy and daddy can often be found purchasing a wooden toy, t-​shirt, or knitted accessory. The staff is warm and friendly and they treat you like family.

This is a very cool kids store with an interesting combo of clothing, books and toys. Great space — large and colourful with a space at the back where music and movement classes take place. You’ll find a selection of clothes and books here that you won’t see elsewhere and they’re unique, not run of the mill. Lots of local Brooklyn flair.
