Christie’s Irish Stores

Went in to inquire about my Waterford pattern. Sales women were not very helpful at all. They said that they would check to see if items were only available custom order, but then no one told me for certain. Snobby attitudes. Won’t buy there, even if they had a good selection. Prices are not that great anyway.

Just when I thought I’d finished buying things to bring back to the U. S, I visit Christy’s (thats the correct way to spell the store name) and find a bunch more stuff to buy!!! The store has two floors. The first floor mostly sells waterford crystal. The second floor has everything you need thats Irish. The store is huge and store associates here are friendly and helpful. There are lots of books, CDs, magnets, and other cool tourist items that I had not seen anywhere else. This store should not be missed. Make sure to check it out!

Product /​Cost: (4) I stopped by last week while in Killarney after my friend and I had exhausted all the other souvenir shops in town. At first I was skeptical because Christie’s looked a bit expensive from the outside, especially when compared to the small storefronts of the other souvenir shops in town. However, when I went upstairs to their selection of tourist goods, I was pleasantly surprised. There was a good selection of everything green and Guinness. The price was what attracted me the most because while the items themselves are oftentimes the same from store to store, the price fluctuates. Christie’s had low, if not lowest, prices for the souvenir items I was looking for like pins, shirts, and boxers.
Location: (5) Located right on the corner of Main and College Streets, Christie’s is right at the intersection of all tourist activity; that makes it easily accessible and easy to spot.
Service: (3.5) The male cashier upstairs and the female cashier downstairs were both relatively nice, though nothing special.
Overall: If you are looking for souvenirs while in Killarney, definitely make a stop at Christie’s.

A nice store that sell fashionable duds and touristy things.
A few years ago, I bought an awesome Uttam London top here but couldn’t find any Uttam when I returned here in 2009. Their range of Pilgrim jewelry is nice too. Customer service is great.
If you are a tourist, be sure to ask for the tax voucher and turn in at the airport so you don’t have to pay taxes!
