Hi Abby,

Welcome to 5 Star.

Well there are lots of places but it depends in part on your niche. Does your gift shop have any type of niche or cater to certain types of people or is it a general gift shop?

The more targeted traffic the better, so if you have a niche focus on sites that align with that. Some general places (that may not get much traffic) are directories, forums related to your niche, blogs related to your niche, social networking sites related to your niche - where you can post a link in your profile. You could also answer gift related questions on Yahoo Answers and give good advice including a link to your shop.

You need to be careful it doesnt look like spam when you post to Yahoo Answers, forums, blogs etc.
Post useful info with a link to your site in your forum sig, etc.

you can try directories.

Hello,

Depending on your budget... you have a few options for setting up an online shop.

You can set up your own store in ebay, this is good beacuse ebay get's millions of visitors a day from all over the world!

If your budget allows you can purchase a script to build your store, such as CS-Cart or Shop Script..

Just a few options for you!
