NORTH PITCHER – Buying a gift is not always an easy task. Keeping this in mind, one local entrepreneur is trying to ease the burden with a creative and unique service.

PRESENT’ations, owned and operated by Susan Wood, opened for business this week in North Pitcher. Wood says she has fostered a dream of owning her own business in gift-giving or retail for many years, and now she is stocked and ready to start receiving orders.

In January, Wood began her journey by creating a business plan and taking business courses. She said she is starting small, with a home-based business and says once her business is up and running, she will decide what to do next.
