Presents of Mind, the brainchild of Cinnamon Chaser, opened on the Historic Hawthorne Boulevard in 1989 with the goal of being a one stop gift store for people who wanted something beyond the big box generic and the teddy bear cutesy. These days the store is managed by Cinnamon’s daughter, Seasons, and continues to pursue the latest and greatest, the classic and trendy, and all things cool.
Seasons came to us with a desire to begin offering their one-of-a-kind lineup to gift givers all over the world through a simple, easy to use online store. We were thrilled to with the opportunity to integrate Presents of Mind’s lovely new identity with our fondness for clean lines and open space. Thus began our inaugural project utilizing Shopify’s blessedly simple e-commerce platform (managing the backend of an online store has never been easier)! In fact, Shopify was such a pleasure to work with, we were able to devote our attention to the creative aspects of the site, such a an immersive Flash animation and newsletter design.
