Esprit

Esprit is a real gem in the relatively commercial world of Ards Shopping Centre. With its rustic décor, this shop is absolutely packed full of pretty little trinkets and is the ideal spot when searching for a unique gift. This is reinforced by the vast selection of wedding and newborn baby gifts found throughout the store. The staff members are polite and carefully wrap each gift in your preferred choice of tissue paper.
Esprit also stocks a wide selection of both Yankee and Castle Hill candles, which are more than reasonably priced. This shop is one of my favourites as you’re always sure to find a bargain (my most recent being several boxes of incense-​with a holder for £1.50) that will leave you grinning like the Cheshire Cat for the rest of the day.
Occasionally furniture can be found, although the vast majority of this is usually displayed in the window. The shop also stocks a range of beautiful Tiffany lamps, as well as elegant gift boxes at great prices.
Situated at the shopping centre’s entrance, this should be one of your first stops.
