Is there any pop up Christmas shop in Galway this year? If so, where? There was a pop up Christmas shop down the lane by Easons last year. There was some lovely stuff there and at reasonable prices. I was delighted picking up a load of gifts - light up Xmas scenes for 8 to 12 or 15 euro each last year for gifts.

Thanks for this. It will save me from walking the city looking for a pop Christmas shop. It's been months since I was out in the shopping centre but will try and get out there sometime.

This place does early morning ones in city centre.

Can anyone tell me where I can get city bin bags now?

The council have outlawed them it seems. Absolute joke and no information sent to city centre dwellers about this.

I will get revenge! (this is and idle threat that may or may not end up with people paying for the fact that my kitchen stinks!)

If Citybin are no longer providing them then id assume retailers no longer sell them, the collections have stopped i thought. There was something on the Tribune FB page about it earlier this week.

Thanks!

Lidl had lovely remote controlled wooden train sets on Tuesday. That was Lidl down beside Argos. They looked nice but not sure if they'd be what you are looking for.

I saw the Lidl trains. Look great.
I imagine they should be popular.

Saw desk fans in Mr Price Westside today. They were right at the checkout. Not sure whether they were battery operated. Spotted them as the girl was calling 'Next please' and only remembered that somebody was looking for a desk fan.
