gift shops

Souvenir selling spots

Gift shops are retail stores selling souvenirs, novelties, and small items suitable for gifts.

They cluster in tourist areas, museums, hospitals, and airports—anywhere people might want a memento or a quick present.

The merchandise tends toward the decorative, locally themed, or impulse-purchase category: We stopped at the gift shop for postcards and magnets.
