“A gift shop is a store primarily selling souvenirs, memorabilia, and other items relating to a particular topic or theme.”
— Wikipedia page for “Gift Shop”
Our theme is what makes Are.na itself: its participants, their ideas, and the worlds they create together. In other words, the gift store is a gradually growing collection of collaborations in the form of real things.
