Everything is so pretty/elegant/stylish/quirky/or just plain useful that, if you are ever stuck for a gift for someone who already has everything (like most of us), here you'll find something for them. They have the most beautiful greeting cards, scandi-inspired home wear, candles (not the tacky ones), mugs and decoration, maps, quirky wrapping paper, books....the list is long. Go check them out, browse their little shop and if you do, make sure to look up as the ceiling in there in beautiful as well.

If you're in search of a magnet, this is perfect. Otherwise, it was not my cup of tea, but that's okay! Because many people were finding lots of items they wanted while I was browsing. So definitely check it out and see if you find anything fun!

The Guinness items they sell here are cheaper than at the Guinness store themselves and they are the exact same thing. Better to buy here. Lots of friendly staff ready to help.

My eyes lit up when I walked in this store. It's got an edgy vibe. I had been shopping on Grafton…read morefor several hours and found the usual, boring clothes and jewelry. What a relief when I walked into this place. As beautiful as some of the clothing was, the accessories, especially the jewelry, was amazing. I wanted to buy everything I saw. The staff were also fantastic, very helpful. I bought several items for myself and as gifts for my daughter. I just wish they had a bigger online presence since I am out of town. Everything was sold out online. I loved the store and was hoping I could purchase items online in the future.

So it turns out I've been shopping in the wrong shops my entire life…read more... After reading yelp reviews I just HAD to experience this place for myself. This shop is just filled with fab fab fab pieces, from vintage bridal wear( beautiful ) to glitzy sequin jackets, floral silk blouses , gorgeous never been seen bags with beautiful little clips and straps and pure wool vibrant in colour hats. I absolutely adore this place and I highly recommend everyone to check it out!!! All affordable this is my new favourite find!

If I were a bit younger I would have definitely frequented Cath Kidston more. There is clothing, bags, wallets, etc. I wanted to buy everything since a lot of prints looked really cute. Prices also seem pretty reasonable too, especially when items are on sale. If I didn't already have one, I would have purchased one of those card holders with the lanyards.

The products here are quality. They stock some fabulously luxurious individual greeting cards. They are tad expensive, but they are all handmade and almost probably each unique. So if you really want to impress, the cards in here will. The sales assistant seemed a bit miffed when she saw me waiting at the till though. She had the stop what she was doing to serve me... can you imagine.... ;)

Daintree is a really pretty shop that specializes in stationary. They have a wide variety of paper…read morein different colors, textures and weights, as well as complimentary accent papers and corresponding envelopes. Whether it's wedding or party invitations, birth announcements, or personal correspondence stationary, Daintree lets you order from their portfolio of popular designs, or you can custom design your own. Other accoutrements that can be customized are favor boxes, stickers and goodie bags. One thing that I really love about Daintree is its focus on DIY. No matter what your style, color scheme or theme is, Daintree has pretty much everything you will need to create beautiful stationary. From paper to ribbon to tools and advice, they've got it all covered. The one thing I would say that Daintree could improve upon is the range of their other items - such as notebooks, albums, streamers and other such gifty things. I think that if they had more of these things the store could attract a wider range of clientele other than brides-to-be and new moms. Still, I think what they've done in the space is pretty magical.

I've long been surprised that more niche businesses haven't followed the spate of indie cafes and restaurants into the area. Well here is one of the first. A small but perfectly formed gem featuring unique art, really really gorgeous gift wear, vintage clothing for men and women, and lots of other knick-knacks. Two things stood out to me here more than anything - 1. You can tell that each and every item in the shop has been carefully considered and individually picked. There isn't an overload of stuff to trawl through - each piece is meticulously styled and merchandised beautifully. Though it may not be to your taste, the quality is most certainly there, and there is a myriad of styles, so the next item may very well be right up your alley 2. The clothes are priced incredibly well - a lot cheaper than most vintage shops in town, which I have to say I was really surprised about in such a small shop Delighted Lyon Loring has opened up - I really hope they do well, and I'll absolutely be calling in regularly from now on!

As a youngin, I recall sitting on the floor of Hickey's for what seemed like an eternity while my mother debated the advantages of one model of net curtain over another. Not cool mom. Hickey's stocks an array of fabric so if you're after a matching shawl or scarf to go with that special dress then you should probably pay it a visit. If you're involved in a more complicated fabric project then this is the place for you too. Hickey's is loved by mums everywhere and is great for patterns, buttons, thread and any other dress-making paraphernalia that you can think of.

If you need anything, and I mean anything, fabric/décor/clothes/accessory related, chances are you'll find it here. Take, for example, that I am heading to the Galway Races later this week and the thought of buying a hat off the shelf makes me want to vomit. So I'll be heading straight for hickeys to come up with some flower/feather/sequin concoction. They'll be able to supply everything from the fabric to the fasteners and I'm actually really excited about the fact that I can make it myself. Ps, I'm no creative whizz kid. If I can make something, anyone can.
