Christmas Gift Box

Our place, Christmas Gift Box, is over in the Aji Industrial Estate. We’re right opposite Ajay Steel and near the Accurate Weight Bridge on the 80 Feet Road. It’s a busy corner of the Aji Vasahat area in Rajkot. We spend our days surrounded by cardboard, glue, and all sorts of paper. Making boxes might seem simple, but there’s a lot of folding and sticking that has to be just right so they don't fall apart. We aren't a big factory with robots. Most of what we do is done by hand or with some old machines that we’ve had for years. When the festival season comes around, things get really hectic and we’re often here late into the night. You can usually find stacks of boxes piled up waiting to be picked up. We don't really have a big office; it’s mostly just a corner with a table and a couple of chairs. The 80 Feet Road is always noisy with trucks going to the weight bridge, so there’s never a quiet moment. We like it that way, though. It feels like we’re part of the city’s heart. We don't do much advertising. People usually find us by word of mouth or by just driving past and seeing all the boxes. We just keep doing what we do, one box at a time. It's a steady life for us here in Rajkot.
