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

O'Connel Street
The Celtic T-Shirt Shop: The Unique Celtic T-Shirt Shop

by avanutria

This is a great little shop on the waterfront with a ton of different celtic shirts and t-shirts. If you spend a while in Ireland you will notice that the same 20 or so t-shirt designs are at all the tourist shops, and they're all pretty stupid too - most of them have to do with sheep or rain, or sheep IN rain. The Celtic T-Shirt Shop is very cool, with unique knotted designs and quality fabrics.Here's a quote from their website:"We work mostly with hand-cut stencils , and blend colours right on the screen, which is slow and difficult, but the close attention given to every print gives a unique appearance to the work, and means that no two are exactly the same. The inks are water-based [ no solvent -smells ] cured in a 14 ft infra-red dryer, which leaves them completely wash/iron-safe and pre-shrunk." My purchase cost about 50 euros but I didn't skimp - it was a long sleeved, hooded...

? just take your pick :): Wander through Eniskerry ...

by kymbanm

There are several shops surrounding the square that makes up central Eniskerry. I wandered in and out of a few... One has locan handcrafts, another has high end women's clothing, there are a few pubs to keep your companions entertained while you wander .... I bought paper art w/ celtic runes, peat neckpieces for Xmas ornaments, and some modern wool sweaters ..... yup, I spent a lot of moolah, but individually the prices were the best I'd seen - so it was worth it ;)
