Think Gifts & Beyond

We started Think Gifts & Beyond quite a while ago. The shop is at 116, which is right near the masjid by Crawford Market. It's a busy area, you probably know how it is around there. Most days we are just here arranging things on the shelves or talking to people who walk in looking for something for a birthday or a wedding. We have all kinds of stuff packed into the space. It gets a bit crowded sometimes, but that's how it goes in this part of town. My family helps out too. We aren't a big fancy showroom, just a regular place where you can find items that aren't too expensive. Most people find us because they were already shopping in the market and saw our sign. It’s a lot of work keeping up with what people want these days. Things change fast. One week everyone wants one type of gift, then the next week it's something totally different. We try to keep a bit of everything so nobody leaves empty-handed. If you are walking around Crawford Market, you can just stop by. There is no need to call ahead or anything. We usually have the doors open early. Sometimes the traffic is bad, so it takes a bit to get here, but once you are in the lane, it's easy to spot us near the masjid. We just do our own thing here every day. It's not a complicated business, we just like selling things that make people smile.
