Instagram hashtags for gift shops
So which hashtag groups can you use?
The core hashtag groups I recommend for gift shops are:
- Gift Shop: this hashtag group has the core hashtags for your gift shop business (couple gifts, gifts for her, gifts for him, gifts for moms, dads, gift box, etc…)
- Baby Gifts: if you offer baby gifts
- Small Business: so people looking to buy from a small business can find you – if you are a small biz owner
- Local Business: if you have a local business
- Christmas Gifts: hashtags you can use during Christmas so that people looking for Christmas gifts can find you
As you can see, all the hashtag groups are already organized in Preview for you:

What if you have a handmade business? Do you need hashtags for customized or personalized gifts?

Use hashtags that:
- Say exactly what you sell (like #candles), or

For example, here are some of the hashtag groups you can find in Preview:
- Soap
- Candles
- Wellness
- Wellbeing
- Vegan
- Non-toxic
- Plant-based
- Hair
- Skincare
- Beauty
- Self-care
- Self-love

If you sell gifts for dogs and pets, use these hashtag groups:
- Dog accessories: if you sell dog accessories
- Dog Moms: they are your ideal customers, use the hashtags they are using to be seen by them!
- Pets: to connect with the pet community
- Cats: for gifts for cats
- Puppy: for gifts for puppies
Instagram hashtags for home gifts
Do you sell home decor things?
Pillows, sculptures, art, macrame, dream catchers, etc…
Use hashtags home lovers use so that they can see your products.
Type “Home” in the search bar of the Hashtag Finder in Preview to see all the home-related hashtag groups.
For example:
- Home
- Home Decor
- Interior Designer
- Macrame
- Weaving
If your gift shop fits a particular style – like the farmhouse vibes – use hashtag groups like:
- Cottage
