What could go wrong?

Here are the claims gift, novelty and souvenir shops see most often: fragile items breaking, crowded aisles and falling shelf stock. Landlords usually require GL in the lease, and every shopper is a potential premises claim. If your business is found negligent, medical bills or repair costs can land on you.

A class Coterie knows

Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Stores ranks #47 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Choosing your coverage

General liability: General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.

Business owner’s policy: A BOP protects inventory, fixtures and outdoor signs and adds business income if a covered loss closes the store.

Eligibility notes for gift, novelty and souvenir shops

One location per policy; size and loss-history guidelines apply. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals.

Service built for small business

Coterie’s process is fully digital. Quotes and binding happen in minutes, certificates are issued on demand, and real people answer the phone when you have questions. Policyholders also get Manage My Risk, Coterie’s free risk assessments, safety guides and compliance checklists.

All coverage is subject to underwriting and availability.
