Simply Manas Gift Emporium is a concept store that marries gifting with the art of presentation. "If it's worth giving it's Simply Manas"
Simply Manas Gift Emporium specialising in gifting, is a partnership between Manas and her sister in law, well known retailer Mandy Manas – whose Kocobino kids’ boutique has become one of the city’s most well-known destination stores. Simply Manas is a concept store that marries gifting with the art of presentation.
“Gifting is one of the most personal aspects of retail, and in the current economic climate, affordability plays a significant role too.” Ranges on offer are priced from just under R 100, carefully selected to make an impact on the recipient. Simply Manas have items that would appeal to almost everyone. It is always a challenge buying a present for someone; it is an emotional decision that always carries a message. Whether it is a festive season gift, a corporate thank you or a Valentine’s Day token of love – gifting is an expression.
It is for this reason that Simply Manas has dedicated a portion of its store to gift-wrapping. Simply Manas Gift Emporium believes that a large part of giving lies in presentation. “There is nothing more appealing than receiving a beautifully wrapped gift. We have created a candy store-like counter where our customers can choose from a range of wraps, beads, ribbons and other adornments at no additional cost; just to make everything extra special.”
Simply Manas stocks some of the best gift brands available globally as well as some exceptional South African brands. Ritzenhoff, Dunbar-Sloane of London, Sagaform, Cath Kidstone, Jamie Oliver and Lou Harvey count among the brands available. “We have also launched our own eponymous label on products such as cheese boards, pestle and mortars among others.”
