Know a friend who loves art museums, botanical gardens or conservatories? Why not give them a one year membership to enjoy the benefits whenever they like? Members usually get perks like docent-led tours before the public, discounts on cultural center events, member only shopping days and a certain percentage off items in their gift store.Oh! and the gift shops at most museums are filled with beautiful trinkets, art posters and more. One of my favorites is the Baltimore Museum of Art. If you ever visit, you have to check out their sculpture garden too...perhaps when they have their summer series. I digress...but my point is: this is a great gift! It can be given to art lovers, creative types and lovers of cultural centers. Just to take this gift a step further...this would be a cool "welcome to your new city" gift should a friend/family member move to a new area. Cultural Centers are a nice way to get to know new people and enjoy the scenery in a beautiful environment.
