We find new designers, local artists, blokey-gadgets, innovative kitchen thingy’s and tons of trinkets to make your mates think you have reached new heights of good taste!

...or at least that you have remembered their birthday

Present opened in May 2006 with an aim to introduce a more relaxed, cosmopolitan attitude to shopping in the centre of Edinburgh.

Set up by Kiaz Trepte who has past experience in buying, managing and opening four other retail stores in London and Edinburgh, coupled with a past life in fashion and styling, Present offers exceptional service and that special one-to-one feeling that is so lacking elsewhere

Present aims to provide those sought after gifts not usually found on the high street.

We scour the world for new and contemporary ideas for that really coveted gift you will not want to give away! We aim to provide up to the minute ideas that will remain in the home long after high street novelties have worn off. Life is too short to live with bad design!

We are also proud to be committed to making a difference to the environment.
