Fascinating place with items from Ireland. No photography is allowed inside yet we had a good time browsing through the place. I liked that they had Celtic symbols painted on the ceiling including the triskelion and trinity symbol. We purchased a refrigerated orange drink from Scotland there and were surprised they had blood pudding for purchase there in their freezer for a good price. The service was friendly and professional there. One of the most unique and unexpected places in downtown Fredricksburg. read more

Irish Eyes - Flowers & Gifts Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

See all

Really wanted to see this shop today being so close to St Patrick's Day and no Irish shops near me. . Have shopped in it several times over the years- however this time arrived at shop at 5PM and was greeted at the door by the owner I guess ?? Didn't say hello just stood in front of the door and said I'm closing now!! I said oh ? your website says 6PM your closed it's 5PM oh she said to me do you see what my sign says she pointed at it says I'll be back tomorrow at 11 and I replied well I do not live in the area so that's why I'm here today - your website said 6PM is that right ? no response - then she she said I'll have to check that as she ushered us out the door. Guess some people just don't want customers ? read more

My 15 year old daughter and her friend visited this store recently. The owner asked my daughter what her waist measurement is. She stated she didn't know. He then proceeded to tell her how much he liked her small waist. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Unsolicited political opinions from the owner to customers is the quickest way to loose them for good. Stereotyping is unprofessional and can be damaging to a business. I have no reason to return. read more

I love Irish shops. They're all pretty much the same, but few and far enough between that I'll always pop into one when I spy one. And Irish Eyes, in old own Fredericksburg, is bigger than most with an excellent variety of Celtic goods. There's a great selection of the most beautiful wool clothing: traditional ivory Aran sweaters, tweed cloaks, mohair wraps. But the pricing seemed even more outlandish than most Irish shops. $250 for a frilled shawl? I don't have a pot o' gold at the end o' the rainbow I can raid, people. And one of the salesladies, while exceptionally nice, was a bit too pushy for my taste. I was admiring a bodhrán with a decal of my family crest on it when she approached me saying that particular company was no longer producing bodhráns with family crests. "Better get it while you can," she chided. I contemplated picking it up for Pops for Christmas and ran it by husband. When he discovered it was $150, he said he'd buy me an unadorned bodhrán and decal of our crest and make one himself. As I went to put it away, saleslady asked, "So I'll wrap that up for you?" as if it were a done deal. Take it down a notch, woman; you're making me feel guilty for not dropping serious loot on a ring of wood, some skin, and a sticker. Still, it was quite a pleasure perusing this shop. Even if I'm not wealthy enough to afford the merch. read more

I love this place they are super nice and have an amazing selection. Don't take the one star reviews seriously, this is in downtown where there's a lot of fragile people who take everything offensively. But that's what they do is cry and can only feel powerful on Yelp reviews. Overall this place is amazing and I highly recommend. read more

Wish I could give zero stars, but since that isn't an option.... My hubby and I have been to this store several times. Cute place, nice atmosphere, before now I have never had but pleasant feelings about the place even if I do get followed rather closely any time I am there. I understand pushy sales folk, doesn't usually bother me. I tend to get refills of a body lotion there fairly regularly, and my hubby bought me a cute necklace once that was nice. Aside from that, their prices are completely outrageous for clothing, etc. So we stick to little things and all is happy. This Christmas, however, hubby made a HUGE mistake buying my gift from this store. He picked out a lovely thick cardigan with celtic knotwork slides on the zippers. Very pretty. BUT, not my size OR style, and because I am on multiple powerful pain medications I usually sweat and am overly warm when most people are cool to cold. Because I am fighting this illness with my pancreas long-term, that will not change any time soon. I have no need of a chunky cardigan. Plus I am hospitalized usually a week to ten days out of every month. He is usually awesome about finding memsomething silly to play with each time instead of buying me flowers all the time. How he got sucked into buying this cardigan - well, probably pushy sales lady because he only went in to buy a refill of the lotion I like. In any case, when he went to return the sweater just a few days after Christmas, he was told he could only have store credit. It was at the bottom of the receipt, not their fault if he didn't notice it BEFORE buying. Now, how could he possibly have noticed that the receipt says exchange or store credit only BEFORE he bought it? And what decent sales clerk sells a man a $200 sweater that cannot be returned when clothing is SO subjective as to what people like? If I had been gushing over it the week before, perhaps, but out of the blue? My hubby is a nice guy and didn't make a scene when they told him I am stuck with a store credit of almost two hundred dollars. But I am pretty angry that I can't get something I like or need from another store, as there is absolutely nothing I want in this Irish place for that much money. I feel like he got pushed into buying something I don't want or like, and now they are just after the fact pointing out, ooops, no refunds! So it will sit for a while until I am even well enough to make it down there and look around. How many bottles of cheap lotion will I have to buy to use this up? And God forbid I lose the paper receipt that they wrote the credit on - apparently their tech is not up to par either. Dear Irish Eyes: During the Christmas season you need to ensure you have a full refund policy in effect even if it is only for 14 days post holiday. I don't want your store credit, and in the future you need to ensure you advise your clients at least twice at the point of sale that you do not offer refunds. My husband is adamant that you did NOT mention this as he would have walked away and bought something else. While he is too nice to say anything to you, I want to make sure customers know ahead of time that they cannot get their money back, period. Thanks for the credit, sure wish it was to a place I might need $200 worth of stuff from. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars, the owner kicked my boyfriend out for being openly gay, I followed my boyfriend outside and waited for my friends. After a few minutes in the cold I went back inside, not my boyfriend, and he insisted that not only did he disrepect my boyfriend that I also had been kicked out of the store, prior to this outburst he has not said a single word to me. He then came around the counter and grabbed me by the arm, which I now know is ASSAULT. I told him not to lay his disgusting hands on me and I left the store. He later called the police after assaulting me, FUNNY JOKE! The other customers in the store got the police report sorted out and he looked like a total jerk, especially after getting both of our YELP reviews deleted the first time... I'll simply post again read more

I'm not Irish (as far from that as I can be, I'm Yemeni), but this store is still a nice treat! I love the Celtic/Irish folk music playing and the clerks are very friendly. They have a ton of cool items, but the hand made vests and hats keep drawing my attention. They have a lot that could appeal to a lot of people, my wife is part Irish and she loved it here. Will be back again! read more

This is a great little Irish shop in downtown Fredericksburg. I found them a bit brusque, but overall friendly. Part of this is cultural (I know this having lived in the United Kingdom for three years). They were very helpful when I wanted to order a special ring for my daughter's 15th birthday. She also gave me a great recommendation on where I could get the engraving I wanted done. They have a large selection of items from clothing to decor to crests and even perfumes and treats and goodies now easily found here. Beautiful Celtic Jewelry, crafts, purses, scarves & music too. They also do family history if you are of Irish decent. If you are looking for something and don't see it then just ask... they will do their best to get it for you. Great place to find gifts too! read more

This is a cute little Irish gift shop with lots of tchotchkes up front but some worthy items such as Aran sweaters and customizable family crests. read more

I love this place. I lived in Ireland got two years and sometimes get cravings for food that isn't available in the states. They always have it or will put me on the list for it. read more

The shop keeper was very friendly from the start. I am a fire fighter and was visiting the area from Connecticut. A nice St. Florian Maltese Cross pendant caught my eye, so we had her take it from the case. The price on it was around $60. She explained that the jewelry was produced by a particular silver smith in Ireland. Thinking that was unique I purchased the pendant. After getting back home I was looking for a similar pendant to buy for my wife, because she liked mine so much. To my suprise I found the exact pendant and chain, with the identical makers mark on the back, for $15 online....... I'm all for small business and the mark ups that often go with them, but not for getting ripped off.. Especially after telling them that I was a firefighter and going to were the chain on the job..... Place is good for nick nacks I suppose.. read more
