florist
A shop customers can enter to buy flowers and floral arrangements, often with small gifts; kiosks are excluded.
A florist shop is a store selling flowers and floral arrangements such as bouquets, usually along with small gifts sold as tokens of love, affection, friendship, condolence, etc. It should be an actual space where customers can enter, and not a kiosk.
Flowers and arrangements are the retail focus. Small gifts can be sold with them, but a gift assortment alone does not establish a florist shop.
The premises must provide an actual customer-entered shop space. A flower kiosk remains outside this particular definition even when it sells the same bouquets or arrangements.
