Chhabra Gift Centre

You will find Chhabra Gift Centre in Balli Maran, which is part of the old Chandni Chowk area. Our exact spot is Gali Shiv Shaai Mal 2992. The lanes here are very tight and full of history. You can smell spices and old paper in the air most days. We sell all kinds of things like small toys, decorative items, and things people give for birthdays. The shop is old and the wooden shelves are filled to the brim. We have to be careful when we move things around. Sometimes it’s hard to find where we put a certain item because there is so much stuff packed in here. Chandni Chowk is always a bit of a struggle with the crowds, but that’s just how it is. We’ve seen the seasons change many times from this front door. We don't have any big advertisements. People usually find us because they were already walking through the gali looking for something. The light inside is a bit dim, but it’s enough to see the gifts. We wrap things in plain paper if someone asks us to. Most of the day is spent chatting with other shopkeepers or helping a customer pick out something small. It’s a crowded place, but it feels right. We close up when the sun goes down and the market starts to quiet a little. That's our daily routine here.
