While I was walking through Irishtown, the very cheerful and decorative window display in the Shelbourne Pharmacy, caught my eye. I went inside to have a look around. I wasn’t disappointed. There’s something for everyone; great gift sets for men by top brand names, jewellery to make you sparkle, gents and ladies watches, a huge selection of candles, Babyliss hair straighteners, or if you want curls, they’ve something for that too.

If you’re planning a couple of days away, they have great overnight cases or why not relax at home with some of the aromatherapy treatments available.

If you’re entertaining friends and family, have a look at the great table decorations. There are singing puppies, Santas, and my favourite, a talking Homer Simpson bottle opener! You’ll have great craic, especially with the huge selection of cameras, to snap those happy moments. For those who like a little tipple, don’t forget the all-important hangover cures. They’ve thought of everything; all that and more, under one roof.

Happy Shopping!
