Gift N Greeting Gallery

People always ask why we stayed here in Jayanagar on 3rd Cross for so long. Well, the shop has been part of the 26th Main landscape since things were a lot quieter around here. Gift N Greeting Gallery isn't some fancy mall store where everything is behind glass. We have rows of cards for every occasion you can think of, from birthdays to weddings, and yes, even the ones for when you’ve messed up and need to say sorry. Sometimes the envelopes get a little bent at the corners because people flip through them so much. We don't mind. The shelves are packed with little statues, photo frames, and mugs that have been sitting there through different seasons. You might find a bit of dust on a shelf in the back, but that’s just how a real shop looks when you’re busy talking to neighbors. Most folks who come in are regulars from the nearby houses. They drop by when they realize they forgot a gift for a party that starts in twenty minutes. We usually have something that fits. It’s a bit cramped inside when more than four people are looking around, but we manage. The fan on the ceiling makes a clicking noise that we’ve just gotten used to over the years. We open up in the morning, sweep the front, and wait to see who stops in. It's just a simple place for simple things.
