I have been a customer here for a few months now, and always make it a point to pop in Present when I am in Bradley to visit the owners, Aimee and Heather, and to see what's new in the store!

Everything is so unique, and the connection that Aimee and Heather have to the vendors they carry seems so special. There is always a meaningful story or fun fact about any product I buy there.
