A staple of George’s Street Arcade, quirky shop Maktus is the perfect place to find Irish gifts with a unique, hilarious twist. With a website and in-person shopping available, the independent store has become a beacon of homegrown creativity. Stocking one-of-a-kind products and cards from their own studio, Maktus also uses works from local artists and designers. From Irish pub scratch maps and Michael D. Higgins merch to funny posters and some pretty imaginative (unconventional!) board games; this shop truly has it all.
