Dublin Airport: Forgot to Shop??

by Sagespot

This may sound strange, but Dublin Airport had quite a few shops with reasonable prices on gifts for our friends. As often happens, you get to the end of your journey and as you're waiting for your plane you realize that you forgot to buy that "Irish" gift for your mother-in-law.Additionally, you always have some experience on your travels that was just too funny or too wild - and the airport can be your last chance to grab something that will remind you of that moment. For us it was our difficulty navigating the roads, so we purchased a wooden highway sign (white arrow with black letters) for Killarny (one of our favorite towns.) I would suggest shopping in the following stores for all sorts of Irish gifts and books:1. House of Ireland - nice for glass and ceramic items2. Hughes & Hughes - great selection of books on IrelandOf particular note, socks knitted of Connemara wool were much...

Dublin: Cheap IrishSouvenirs at Carrolls Gifts

by yvonnelks

We got real cheap Irish souvenirs from Carrolls. They offer all kind of stuff from jewelry, keychains, shot glasses to t-shirts and bags that have Irish element printed on. For certain items, they offer cheaper price if you buy more than 3 pieces. It's indeed cheaper compared to other souvenir shopa at the places of interest. From EUR1 to t-shirts of EUR12-15

Irish Gifts - Claddagh Jewelry

by lbhspatriot

One of the best Irish gifts you could possibly buy for a loved one or a friend is a piece of Claddagh Jewelry. Claddagh is a traditional jewelry piece from Ireland that symbolises love, friendship and loyalty. Claddagh design consists of a heart, symbolising love and hands that symbolises friendship and the crown for loyalty.As a traditional ring for Ireland the Irish Claddagh ring is a perfect gift to be given to a loved one, maybe a family member or a loved friend. It is also popularly worn by singles seeking love but is traditionally worn differently than a wedding couple. With its strong representation of unity the ring itself sends gives a powerful message about who wears one.How to wear a claddagh ring?When the ring is worn on the right hand with the design facing outwards, away from the body, it usually represents that person is single and possibly looking for love. When in love...

Various: Medical supplies

by tekiegirl

If you need any medical supplies whilst in Dublin you will not have to walk far to find a pharmacy/chemist. There seems to be at least one on every shopping street in the centre of the city.There are also walk-in doctors' practices around. One is located on Dame Street, near Temple Bar.

Tina Morrissey: & the Mulrooney - sisters

by globetrott

My favorite CDs of irish Music are the ones by Tina Morrissey and The Mulrooney-sisters that are mainly sold at the Cliffs of Moher by members of the family or the artists themselves.You may buy a lot of Music-CDs and Cassettes directely at the souvenir-shop at the parking of the Cliffs of Moher. A bit cheaper than at the main shop you may as well go to the small shop-wagon of the family Mulrooney. All of the daughters seems to have recorded CDs and most of them are really great !In summer you may see at least one of the sisters singing high above the Cliffs, somewhere on your way to O'Connor's Tower. my favorite was Tina Mulrooney, her new name is now Tina Morrissey, playing the harp and singing with a really beautiful voice and her CD "A memory of Ireland" is my favorite !Click on her web-page, in order to hear her songs !simply click on"Listen" I would like to say that the general...

VAT slips

by C&JTay

For all non-EU travelers, make sure you ask for your VAT slips from retailers. These slips allow you to get back a large portion of the tax you pay for an item, and if you buy alot of gifts for friends/ family, can really add up to a decedent amount of money returned to you. The retailer will fill out alot of it for you, but while waiting for your flight in the airport, fill put the rest and turn them into the VAT stands in the terminal. You can either get cash or have the money returned to your credit card that was used for the purchase.

Avoca: Avoca Handweavers - fashion & crafts in Dublin

by iris2002

Avoca is a 7 level mini-department store with a colourful mix-match of men and women's fashion, kids clothes, household goods, aromatics, ceramics and lots more. This unique shopping experience stocks everything from fancy dress clothes for kids(sequin pink fairy dresses with matching haloes!) to beautiful Aran style 'his' and 'her' jumpers. Household goods include luxurious throws that are woven in the Avoca Mill in Co. Wicklow using natural fibres made from lambs wool, mohair, cotton and linen. ... pretty much everything :)But my favourit is the lovely soft stripy scarves in all colors .. for ~ 30 Euros WHO cares ;) as long as it's pretty and the credit card limit isn't reached hihi

Everything Irish can be bought here including great food items. If you are from NON EU don't forget to claim your tax back. Irish writers coasters & table mats of Irish homes. Heavenly scented candles with real Irish scent. Don't buy the little peat burning blocks they don't smell as good as the candles. $$$ ££ Euro!!
