I found a lovely wool wrap here for a really decent price that was made in Italy. Too bad we were here just before closing - I probably would have found more gift items here if I had more time. They would probably do well to stay open at least until sunset on the weekends as tons of people were still out and about shopping when we left.

Outstanding merchandise and incredible customer service! I visited Twice as Nice in June 2018 and…read morepurchased a wallet there, which has been incredibly durable and one of my all-time favorite wallets. I began getting anxious that I wouldn't be able to replace it if it ever wore out, and one of my friends loved it and wanted one for herself, so I contacted them via Facebook to see if they could ship to Chicago. I was AMAZED at how lovely their response was. I dealt with Saffron over FB, and she sent me photos of the wallet colors they had in stock, figured out how much my total purchase would be including shipping and offered a few different methods to pay. I just received the wallets today, and they're amazing. Twice as Nice is amazing. Great experience, and I hope to visit the store in person again soon to see what new awesomeness they have in stock.

I didn't feel judged when I said the full gold was out of my price range; instead she directed me to other versions that fit the budget. Since I'm not from the EU she gave me the information and forms for a rebate at the airport. No other shop mentioned that to me before! Honest, professional, and very courteous! Lovely wares as well!

The shop had everything from jewelry to figurines, but not quite the Claddagh (for the price I was looking for). Make sure you go across the street for a visit. Yeah, that's where the restrooms are, but there's so much more to explore. Antiques and tea time for large groups (which we missed the timing of boy just a week) and they'll even have a peat fire going for you- I can smell it now. Make sure you drive past the Connemara Mountains on the way back, stop by the bridge from the Quiet Man, and pop into Peacocke's for a nice tea and scone break- well worth a visit!

She happens to also work at a shop that sells the necklace and told my friend and I where we can get one. She even called the store for us and let us know there was only one in stock in sliver, hers that I liked was in gold. We walked over to the shop and ended up spending more time in there than we thought! Such beautiful jewelry! I almost changed my mind to a different necklace that said "Success" on it, but ended up going back to my original compass necklace which is what brought us there. My friend and I tried on various different pieces and really we could've spent all of our money here! Needless to say about 400 euro later between the two of us, we left. And she said that she would ship the compass necklace to me since I wanted gold and it wasn't at the store at the time. How fantastic! I was so happy that I could get what I wanted and I'll be eagerly awaiting it in the mail. It's important that I mention this is really a local flavor shop as everything inside is made by Ireland artisans. It's great to get authentic things while traveling rather than items that aren't made from the local area. And that it also supports those locals by spending money on their items. The doggie there is funny, kind of a ornery old bat but still sweet, she'd bark if she heard kids outside. You'd think it's fine as long as they weren't in the store but nope, keep it quiet kids! I pet her several times, so she was also very sweet. Stop in the store while in Galway! Pick up some small art, nicknacks, and especially some jewelry!! If you're able to get the Fexco Horizon card, definitely use the receipt here so you can get some of the tax back for your purchase - www.shoptaxfree.com

We then went to Lazlo Jewellers just across the street where they had a smaller size and the price was significantly cheaper. But best of all was the service of Margo who insisted it be made smaller so it wouldn't accidently fall off her little finger. She had this done within an hour while we took care of other arrangements. Thank you Margo for the GREAT SERVICE!
