The Gift Shop offers an extensive array of personal accessories, handicrafts, textiles, and everything for the home. Throughout the shop, visitors will find artisanal gifts, jewelry, and housewares from around the world, crafted from recycled materials, organic fibers, and other eco-friendly products. Exclusive to the Gift Shop are signature items with the Garden's distinctive logo as well as products featuring the artwork of Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Florilegium Society, including prints and stationery.

The Garden Shop carries everything for the garden, books, and gifts for children. New York Magazine writes that "the shop has an amazing selection of plants ... and features one of the most extensive selections of bulbs and seeds in the city." The bonsai, orchids, tropicals, and seasonal outdoor plants are also accompanied by information to support beginning gardeners. To complement the many children's activities at BBG, the shop offers a huge selection of nature and gardening toys, books, and crafts for kids. The Garden Shop, located in the Steinhardt Conservatory complex, also offers an array of gardening tools and supplies, as well as a large collection of gardening books.
