Fantastic service. I…read morewent in today for my septum piercing. All of the staff were polite and welcoming from the moment I stepped in. I went upstairs where I was pierced. Everything was very sterile and clean. I was taken through to a separate room with a man called Paul where everything was explained to me about what it would feel like and what to do. He was very kind and obviously experienced and knew what to do. He got it done as quickly and painlessly as possible. They give you sea salt for the after care and explain how to look after it. They also ask you to check back in and that you can come back any time if you have any problems with the jewellery. The shop is also very nice if you are into anything in the more indie area. It's all very nice and good quality. They sell incense, bags, jewellery, clothing and other nicknacks you might use to decorate your home. Overall it is a nice little shop, easily accessible as it is along the Main Street, very close to St Stephens. There is not much parking close by so you are probably best going by bus.

Dragonfly Home, like its companion stores Dragonfly and Dragonfly Kitchen, is a beautiful…read morecollection of lovely home items arranged in such a way as to convince you that you can't leave without buying them! I've been seduced by a beautiful bedspread or Emma Bridgewater teapot many times. There's a mix of high-end quality furniture and well-known names such as Cath Kidston, together with niche designers and imported wooden items. Perfect for an extra-special gift or for treating yourself, it's well worth a visit. One of my favourite shops in Louth.

A lovely place to buy presents from (or treat yourself) as you always feel you have something a bit different to what everyone else has. A visit to its sister shop next door, is highly recommended too. This sells gifts, cards etc and is equally, if not more so, lovely.

If you want a card of any kind this is the place to go.

The prices range right from bargain basement through to luxury and they all seem to be of a decent quality whatever the price. The store is very large and in addition to the cards there are ranges of various other celebratory items such as gifts, wrapping, ribbons, balloons, candles and novelty items. They usually have plenty of staff on who are quite helpful however it can get very busy, especially on a saturday afternoon.

The atmosphere is really relaxed and peaceful. It is full of Buddhas and Incense sticks and scented candles and novelty candles. They have little sets of candles that spell out I LOVE YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY as well as for the festive season candles that spelt out HAPPY NEW YEAR and MERRY CHRISTMAS. They also have a large selection of hand made jewellery as well as ethical begs and accessories. I bought Christmas presents for my best friend there - A glas wall plaque saying PEACE and a gorgeous incense stick holder in the shape of the Buddha. Another great accolade to this store is the friendliness of the staff. They are helpful but not intrusive. They say Hi to you as you enter but in a pleasant polite and friendly way as opposed to being in your face. As the asistant carefully wraped my gifts, we chatted about the holidays and the weather and as I left she wished me farewell and welcomed me back again. I can't wait to visit again - even if it is just to browse.
