Don't be fooled by the name...this wee (being the operative word - I'll get to that in a second) gift shop is located right bang in the middle of Dromore town centre. It does have a bit of a country theme to it, and it definitely wouldn't look out of place in the middle of nowhere (Dromore doesn't quite count as nowhere), but it's not quite as country as you may be thinking. No green pastures, or lambs, or that sort of thing. 'Fraid not.
I was a tad confused when I entered Country Choice, as, after I was greeted a small boy who attempted to run me over, I realised that there was a door to my left, and a set of stairs leading downwards. It turns out that the gift shop was behind the door, and since I had noticed that there was a tea room at the same address, so I figured that it must be located in the basement. But I couldn't be sure.
Anyways, I managed to squeeze into the little gift shop, and was thankful that I happened to be the only customer. With the obligatory Yankee Candles (no melts today for a change), stunning jewellery, retro stationery, cute gift cards and other bits and bobs, it wasn't a whole lot different to many other gift shops I had been to. However, it was so cute (this is why I'm female), rustic and well laid out that I fell in love just a little bit.
