Presence

There's a new gift shop in town. Many of you are familiar with Mostly Simchas, a gift shop run by Tova Taragin and Yehudit Shields. They've been operating for almost four years out of Mrs. Taragin's garage. Now, the dynamic duo has teamed up with Ahuva Weinreb and are opening a brand-new storefront location, Presentations Gifts, right near the new Goldberg's Bagels and Salon Kids.

The store is scheduled to open the beginning of May after Pesach and will feature an expanded line of gifts, including higher end items suitable for weddings, such as serving pieces and decorative vases. The new location is six times the size of the current store, so browsing their selection of gift options will be much more enjoyable than in the current location. And if you're a big fan of the personal service and low prices offered at the current Mostly Simchas, don't worry: all the original Mostly Simchas merchandise will be available in the new store, at the same prices as before.

Along with the new store, Presentations Gifts is launching www.presentationsgifts.com, an e-commerce website that will enable online browsing and ordering of all of Presentations Gifts merchandise. The website will also have options for in-store pickup or home delivery. The site is scheduled to launch around the same time as the new store opens.

So make sure to visit Presentations Gifts in Baltimore for gifts for all occasions.

Here's a picture of the new location:
