I would not accession items from the gift shop. They are not pieces made by your institution, nor, in my view, are they representative of your institution. A few select pieces that have special meaning (e.g. there were only 10 of this sculpture made representing our founder/institution and 9 were given as awards to trustees; this was a limited edition pin commemorating our 100th anniversary, etc.) would be appropriate as ephemera, but you don't want every stuffed animal and t-shirt with your logo on it. That will be a waste of space and resources.

If it were me, and I were inclined to accession such things (which I'm not), I would accession photographs, not artifacts.  You have to decide WHY you are accessioning such things.  If it is important, why not accession all the metadata that goes with it? How much did it cost? Who made it? Who sold it?  How many did you buy?  I would consider accessioning gift store items as going down the rabbit hole. 😉

The Heritage Interpretation Training Center
Some new interpretation courses for heritage interpreters, supervisors
curators, and managers.

 
The Heritage Interpretation Training Center now offers 43 new and advanced college-level courses in heritage interpretation.  For all of our courses, you can start the course at any time and complete the course at your own pace.  In most cases, the HITC is the only heritage interpretation training site offering most of these courses.  All courses are based on 40 years of  “ real work/planning experiences in actually doing what we teach”.  Our courses also award CEU unit credits.
 
What the course tuition includes: interpretive e-textbooks – our interpretive master planning two-volume textbook set and specialty textbooks.  Also handout and reference materials, YouTube video for each unit, and as an e-LIVE course, you can talk with the course instructor/coach anytime, by e-mail chat, phone or SKYPE.  The professor is in! You don't have to go through the course alone. Wink

We can also offer any of our 43 courses for groups, planning teams, docent classes and others where you want more than one to take a course.  Tuition discounts for multiple enrollees are available.  All of our courses can also be offered live at your site, museum or facility.  Ask for costs and details.
 
Here are some of our newest courses.  Visit that course’s website for course content details and to register/pay for that course.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
