Become a Gift Shop Owner

Open Your Own Gift Store

If you love gift shopping and are looking for a creative and rewarding retail business to start, then opening a gift shop is for you.

About a Career as a Gift Shop Owner

When you open a gift shop, you will have a business that lets you get paid to indulge your passion for gift shopping while helping people celebrate some of the happiest moments in life.

From birthdays to new babies to just because, gift shop owners have the satisfaction of helping people show they care.

While gift sales are highest on holidays such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and especially Christmas, spending on gifts for year-round occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries is growing, offering greater opportunity for gift shop owners.

As a gift shop owner, you will have access to high quality, exclusive wholesale merchandise from all over the world, plus prestigious and popular brand names.

You’ll see the joy on customers' faces when they discover the treasures you’ve unearthed for them and find the perfect gift for someone they love.

When you open a gift shop you will have the freedom to make your own decisions and express your creative spirit through your store, including deciding what kind of gifts you want to sell.

You might choose to open a gift shop offering a wide range of gifts that appeal to many people. Or you could specialize in particular types of gifts, or gifts for particular types of people.

For example, you might choose to open any of these types of gift stores:

Artisan gift shop selling arts and crafts
Card and gift shop
Ethnic gift shop
Gift boutique
Holiday store
Novelty shop selling gag gifts
Personalized gift shop selling items that can be personalized e.g. for weddings
Souvenir gift shop
Specialty gift shop selling gifts for people who belong to a particular group:
- based on demographics (e.g. gifts for a particular age group, gender, religion, etc.)
- based on interests (e.g. gifts for pet owners, nature lovers, science buffs, etc.)

As long as you have the desire, you can become a gift shop owner. No special education or experience is necessary to break into this business and succeed.
