Prem Gift & Toys

Prem Gift & Toys is my small shop located at 77-2-21 in the A-Black section of Santhi Nagar. We are right opposite the Swarna Lakshmi Theatre, which is a big landmark in this part of town. Because of the cinema, there are always people walking around, especially on the weekends when there is a big movie playing. I mainly sell toys and different kinds of gift items. It’s a fun business to be in because you get to see kids looking at all the bright boxes on the shelves. The space is a little tight because I try to cram in as many different toys as I can. Sometimes it’s hard to find exactly what you are looking for right away, but I usually know where everything is. Santhi Nagar is where I live too, so it’s nice to work so close to home. I don’t have a big staff, just one person who helps me keep the place clean and assists the customers. The street can get pretty noisy with the theatre crowds, but I’ve gotten used to it over the years. We have stuff for all ages, from small rattles for babies to board games for older kids. It’s just a basic local toy shop. I don’t do much advertising; people just see the sign when they go for a movie. It’s a decent life and I enjoy meeting the families who come in. We try to be helpful and keep the prices fair for everyone in the neighborhood.
