gift shop
Retail space devoted to the sale of attractive items that can be given as presents.
A gift shop is a store devoted to the sale of attractive, fun, or interesting items that are suitable for gift-giving. Typical wares include imports, craftworks, plush animals, dolls, toys, greeting cards, delectable foodstuffs, and luxury items.
The merchandise is selected for gift-giving and can cover several product types. Food and craft items can be included alongside toys or cards.
A souvenir store connects its wares to a commemorated place or theme. A general gift shop does not require that shared subject.
