Nathan & Co Solves The Challenging Gifting Problems

Nathan & Co. is the place that you go if you’re really bad at buying gifts or when you have a particularly challenging gift recipient (e.g. you don’t know them or they already have everything). Because Nathan has most definitely curated an extensive collection of what one can only describe as the perfect gifts. All of them. And he carries witty — no, hilarious — cards too. It’s definitely not the drug/grocery store assortment.

We are convinced that he’s some gift-giving savant. Or, he studied “The Art of Gift Giving” in college. Does he have a PhD? We think so.

Nathan & CoSo, in our continued study of Nathan & Co., we find a vast selection across all sorts of home goods, clothing, jewelry, baby gifts, and an abundance of “things I never thought of” categories. When you enter the store, you immediately get that relieved sense of “yes, I’ll find something awesome here.” Your gift shopping anxiety will immediately lift. And it only gets better if you take in the relaxed, “we know how to please” vibe and interact with the laid back staff who seems to be amazed by the selection as much as you are.
