First the good news. Truly Gifted is moving!

We will be moving to a different premises. We will be moving to a unit in Hibernian Way next next to/behind our current location. Our new premises will be redone to suit our needs. We will have a ground floor shop and upstairs gallery with further room for storage, glass studio and a dedicated workshop area.

The bad news is that as a result of this we will be closing from the 14th of March until approximatly early June. The cause of this long closure is a combination of many things. Firstly our contract for our current premises had a break clause for the 14th of March. It was move now or wait for another 6 months. Second reason is that the work being carried out on our new premises has yet to be finalised. We want to make sure the finished unit will suit our needs. When it is finalised the work will take about 3 weeks to do but no doubt a little longer. Third reason is that we had plans to go on holiday the last 3 weeks in May. We see no reason to open up the shop for a week or 2 only to close it again for 3. You have to keep in mind that keeping the shop open is pretty much a one-woman operation! Should the work be finished sooner than we may consider opening sooner. We will, of course, keep everyone informed.

The main reason for the move is that the stairs are deterring customers and we have no windows display and on street presence.  This means less sales for our talented crafts people. Moving and the resulting closure time will also give us a chance to have a fresh re-think of our current set-up and change the way we operate in order to maximise sales for everyone. We will loose our lovely high ceilings and beautiful light fixture but hope to gain a lot more.

We thank you all for your support so far and hope to welcome you again at our new location.

Gift Vouchers Now Available!

Our aim is to support Irish craft through fairness and honesty as well as offering great value for our consumers. We do this by renting out parts of the showroom. We do not do a mark-up OR take a commission which is rarely seen in Ireland. As a result Truly Gifted sells a wide range of beautiful items, all handmade in Ireland and all at fantastic prices!

Truly Gifted is so much more then a gift shop. There is the glass studio, glass fusing workshops, children and adult art classes as well as some art on the walls. We are more of a creative centre. Always growing and changing.

Thank you for visiting us and we hope you enjoy our shop as much as we do.
