Favourite place to buy things you'll love (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pet shop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you'll love' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'favourite place to buy' is the wordplay.
'favourite' becomes 'pet' (synonyms).
'place to buy' becomes 'shop' (I've seen this before).
'pet'+'shop'='PET SHOP'

'things' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pet shop that I've seen before include "Where to buy hamsters and gerbils?" , "Scene of boys and cat food" , "musical boys" , "Where to buy hamsters - boys!" , "Boys in group" .)
