Just got a few car stickers from this crowd http://www.nemisisdesign.net/portfolio.html

Have to say Pat is lovely to deal with. And I priced a few of these stickers in other stores and they are by far the cheapest...Great value for money and really nice to deal with

hi,

when we were getting married the wife and I order stuff from http://www.etsy.com/uk/ has loads of creations by people or small stores all over the world. Managed to get myself some lego man cufflinks and she had jewellery made for her bridesmaids.

Pressie Port - Irish website with 1000's of gift ideas.

This is no longer available as a separate web address - I think it merged with www.gifts.ie

Well to be honest, I am curious about Lego.... and I am doing a world of research on it...
I have a 14 year nephew and a 7 year old girl that are nuts about this stuff.... so, i haven´t made it back to Ireland yet for xmas, but i intend on buying some stuff for them.... but was wondering about what I get them... apparently the bigger the better for them....
Do I just head to amazon?

should I be asking on this thread, or start a new one?

If the 14 yo boy is into Lego then Lego architecture should be a good buy. My lad loved that from about age 10, he'd been mad into Lego for years.
