Owned by a local couple with previous gift shop experience, Maxima Gift Center has been in Arlington for 13 years. In the home section one can find specialty soaps, mini pepper mills and unique pottery. The stationery section has cards, papers and books. The children's section has a large book selection as well as some clothes and toys geared mainly towards babies, toddlers and preschoolers. There is also a jewelry section, which comprises some of the store's most popular items. As the focus is on handmade goods by small artisans, the inventory changes frequently, making the shopping experience fresh for frequent visitors.
