Celtic Treasures was a must-see for my Irish friend – but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. Having just been to Ireland a year ago, I saw nothing new.
However, for someone whose an Irish-ophile and hasn’t been to Ireland, you can live vicariously through this store. There are even genuine Guinness glasses (which, by the way, I got in Ireland at the Guinness factory for about $2 less). There are lots of family crest items – shot glasses, wall hangings, etc., Irish jewelry (a pretty wide selection), and more.
The shopkeeper wasn’t the friendliest, but he wasn’t mean or anything. I felt a little cramped in the store – it was crowded, and there wasn’t a lot of room to move. I was sure I’d bump into something and be cursed with the ‘you break it you bought it’ rule.
If you like Irish stuff, and have never seen the Emerald Isle, this store’s for you. If you’re accustomed to actual Irish stuff in Ireland, it’ll be a nice walk down memory lane, but you won’t find anything new.
