We happen to be at Saint Stephens Shopping Center. Which is an indoor mall, quite nice and clean actually. Except you have to pay to use the Toilets, even though there is a food court right next to the pay toilets. Anyway…
It is a nice little card and gift shop. Not a pushy place at all. They give you time to look around un-​bothered. Then they are ready to help you when you need it.
I see they had a few cool little Irish gifts as well as some funny and cool gifts for Birthdays, Weddings, Babies, etc.
They take Credit cards which is always a plus. None of the cash only business.
The staff (2 men working) were very nice.
I recommend it for sure.

This is the place where the tack that never quite made it to the € 10 shop or the «Toyz4Boyz» (god that’s original… innit?!) shop, as it once was, goes to die. However if on the off chance you find yourself in need of cheap sex jokes (who doesn’t need stress relieving breasts after all?), pencils, badges of various sorts, neon lights, glow in the dark stars, a mini pool table (!!!) or a cuddly toy then this my friends is the shop to answer all your less adventurous prayers!
It does have a surprisingly strong smell of incense and the hangy downy decorations are too low BUT on the upside the staff are friendly enough and its right beside the escalator so its a lazy mans dream… hence the reason i shop there *sigh*

I was obsessed with this shop when I was thirteen. They have brightly coloured stationary, blow-​up furniture and plastic decorations and ornaments for the world’s tackiest interiors, smelly soaps and incense, cheap jewelery, gift-​wrap, gretting cards, and plenty of other useless bits and bobs.
I can imagine it would be the prefect place for a parent to pick up party bag knick-​knacks or pass the parcel prizes. All that said, there’s a significant section of this shop given over to bongs, pipes, novelty rolling papers and hemp goods, which seems counterproductive given the customers it attracts with all the other products… or as Q points out, perhaps not!

I don’t know if it’s because of its proximity to the food court, but Banana Tree straight up stanks. They may try to cover it up with incense, but it ain’t fooling anyone.
On top of that, there is pretty much nothing worthwhile in here, just a lot of junk. If I received a gift from Banana Tree, I’d be sad for both myself and the gift-​giver.

One of those stores you only go into at Christmas… one of those stores you wish you had never gone into at Christmas… one of those stores you lose your child in at Christmas…
It would be silly to say that this is not a seasonal store… however they are open all year round selling all that stuff you swear you would never buy but still will when you can’t work out what to get your dad for Christmas… and then for some reason you convince yourself that a cigarette lighter shaped like a Four-​Iron that tells the time and has an mp3 player was worth 20e and will be a good present for a non smoker.
It’s that kind of store…

What do you get if you cross say 20 different shops selling entirely different completely useless brightly coloured and decorative things and cram them into the same space? chaos… oh, and the banana Tree in the Stephens Green shopping centre.
They sell everything from ‘novelty’ pipes which may or may not be used for smoking elicit substances to plastic sunflowers (on reflection maybe these things are not entirely unrelated after all!). There is also garden furniture… lord alone knows where that fits in!
Leaving that aside if you are a student or under 25 then this is the place you will probably go to get presents for you friends as birthdays roll around or the flat needs decorating, an interesting shop for sure and definitely worth a look!
