Large selection of toys and games, prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly and helpful,…read morewhen I am in the area I always stop in to see if they have anything that I can't live without, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't but then I already have quite a few toys in my collection so there is no shame in not having something I need or want on every visit. But half the fun is in the hunt. Recommended when you are in Dublin

Recently placed my first order with Banba toys. It was an online order as I don't live nearby…read more There was an issue with my order, and it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Excellent customer service, far exceeded my expectations. The staff member that I dealt with was so professional and could not have been nicer. Highly recommend.

Horrible, I insisted that I was just looking and that I absolutely wasn't robbing her of a 6 euro hula hoop. She continued to yell and be incredibly nasty to me until I chose to walk away from her consistent yelling. If you are going to have your merchandise out on the street, don't accuse and yell at your customers that they are stealing from you! Absolutely ridiculous and horrible customer service. Sick to my stomach from this horrid woman.

I have loved this shop from the first time I walked through the door years ago! This amazing shop!…read moreI literally want every item in this store; you can find here the perfect gift for a special occasion, or splurge on a one-of-a-kind gift for yourself! Jewellery, funky cards, candles, toys and homeware are just a few of the amazing items sprinkled about! Prices are reasonable considering the setting and quality. I could be in a store like this for hours! Every time I come here I jump for joy, not physically but mentally..... because I am so excited with my great finds. Let me share with you my little great finds! I picked up Elf on the shelf on my last visit, my nephew loves it! Another item that I purchased was a funky mug! Friend of mine always complains about customers asking her silly questions, so when noticed this wee cup saying '' About that last request ...I'm just going to assume you're joking '' I knew I have to buy it! I recommend this place to everyone I know, I love it and have for years! If you haven't gone in before, for your sake, get in there, you will not regret!

Pride and Joy is of a type of shop that was once very common in Ireland that is now passing (at…read moreleast in Dublin, at any rate). Located on the first floor of the Donaghmede Shopping Centre, Pride and Joy in one those toy shops that specialise in cheap unfashionable toys that would probably be sneered at by the children of today, but would be considered to have great kitsch value by nostalgic twenteens. You know the type of shitty toys that you got as kid: plastic bow and arrows, toy guns that light up and make a noise, non-brand name dolls that would be looked down upon by the recipient for not being a Baby-Born. Very un-PC, guns for little boys and dollies for little girls, isn't it? That's what makes this shop so charming: the absolute sense of being stuck in a time warp the moment you enter the store. The most modern item I saw in the window was a micro-scooter (at least 10 years since those were en vouge), which next to a display of Power Rangers (surely they haven't been made in years). Absolutely worth a visit.

Staff are great Well done

Eventually found it after a few false starts and U-turns. The thing I always find about Smyths is that every time I go in I feel somewhat overwhelmed. I mean it's a huge shop with floor to ceiling shelves of brightly coloured things... as I walk in I can never figure out how exactly I'm going to find the thing I'm looking for. The one in Tallaght is no exception, although it's quieter than the one in town, which means at least my ears wheren't assailed at the same time as my eyes. After wandering around a bit and wondering where the aisle with the trucks on it would be, I found what I was looking for. While pondering the various merits of tractors versus diggers (and indeed possible choking hazards), one of the staff asked if I would need any help. He really was helpful in finding age appropriate toys for the discerning two year old who prefers things to look like replicas rather than toys, and I ended up buying something on the shelf which he directed me to. It's probably also worth saying that there doesn't seem to be a large carpark near the store but there is a reasonable amount of on-street parking, although how available that is during the day I don't know.

She went to great trouble to help a customer find the right costume for her little boy and even told her that they could bring it home and if it didn't fit, they could bring it back. The small section of hen party goodies at the end of the store does strike an incongruous note, however...

In her own words "Ella Bada" (I love you). Her words every time she walks in the door. I quite enjoy the place myself, with all sorts of toys and games and puzzles that I wish I could buy for my own inner child and it not seem weird! They have a surprising variety considering space constrictions yet the shop isn't overrun with crap. It doesn't overwhelm the senses with colours and big boxes as do most Toystores (cough cough Smyths). Just a nice little toyshop with a friendly air. Rings all the right bells.

Steiff teddies can be bought here, and in case you wondered whats different about Steiff, well, these are the original teddy makers...the first people to make a teddy. They also stock the Paddington Bear in various outfits, which are cute and a range of jewellery of the bygone age, such as pearls and various other pieces ..some will appeal, some will not. I have found, that they have really nice children's books, but, don't get me wrong ..this is a shop for adults as much as children..in fact, even more so for adults. Have a look around, you may be surprised at what you'll find. I love browsing in this shop ..its so different and interesting.

I have my eye on a couple of things that I want now so I shall be making another trip out soon!
