When it comes to maximising gift shop revenue, bigger isn’t always better. In fact, some of the best-selling products are the smallest and smartest.

Compact, affordable, and easy to merchandise, grab-and-go souvenirs deliver strong margins with minimal footprint. For busy attractions with limited space or high visitor turnover, these products are essential.

Here’s why they work and how The Souvenir Collection can help you offer the best of them.

Why Grab-and-Go Works

🛍️ Impulse buys: Small, well-placed items near tills or exits catch attention.
✈️ Travel-friendly: Visitors love souvenirs that are easy to carry home or gift.
💷 Low price point, high ROI: These products often cost little to produce but deliver strong markup potential.
📦 Easy to stock and store: Their size makes them ideal for attractions with tight retail space or limited back-of-house storage.

Top Grab-and-Go Products

Our most popular compact sellers include:

Display Matters

Grab-and-go doesn’t mean throw-and-hope. Presentation is key:

• Place at till points or exits

• Use small plinths, baskets, or peg displays

• Highlight value (e.g. “Take home a piece of your visit for under £5!”)

Let our team help you build custom display units to make your compact collection stand out.
