✨ The BrickBox is a local promotion box that focuses on Milwaukee’s art-centric brick & mortar spots — all in one beautifully curated box. Inside, you’ll find exclusive postcards with discounts and perks from 35 businesses. Think retail & gift shops, art classes for kids and adults, galleries, and vintage. It’s part treasure hunt, part local guide, and part love letter to our small-business community — designed to inspire you to shop small all year long. Whether you’re discovering new favorites or supporting the places you already adore, the BrickBox turns every outing into an adventure while directly uplifting the makers and shops that make Milwaukee special.
To add to the fun, there's also a board game on the box to help you rack up points and win additional prizes! *Note that not all businesses in the BrickBox are also participating in the game board. Redeem your postcard at participating shops and receive 1 Brick Sticker for every $25 you spend. The top TEN bridges with the most brick stickers will receive a $5-$10 gift certificate from EACH game board participant! PLUS VIP Admission to the 2026 Brickyard Event. Bridges will be submitted and chosen in September 2026.
The BrickBox is perfect for the holidays but the perks last a full year making a fantastic gift as well. We recommend this fun and unique gift for a variety of people:
