We are so incredibly lucky to have this treasure trove in our town. Amazing gifts that suit from very young to well (slightly) older family members. Ladonna has been like a fairy godmother during covid helping me get gifts to friends and family that we couldn't visit. The shop has something for everyone, a beautiful framed picture of a star in the sky for my friend whose dad passed away, birthday treats for another friend. Surprise cheer up treats for my niece when she broke her arm and most recently a fabulous big fluffy toy dog for my daughter who has autism to take to hospital with her to get her tonsils out. I always spot something new and there is a price range for every pocket. If you are in visiting portlaoise pop in, it's so lovely and the staff are so helpful.
