giftshop
Museum's mercantile corner
A giftshop is a retail store selling souvenirs, novelties, and small items suitable for presents—typically found in museums, hospitals, hotels, and tourist destinations.
The merchandise tends toward the decorative rather than practical: postcards, keychains, ornaments, local crafts.
Also spelled as two words: gift shop.
