Thimbles are not used as widely as in the past however they remain a popular collectors item. These Irish souvenir thimbles have an Irish blessing printed on them. 
"Wherever you go, whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you". The other side is covered in a shamrock design. Absolutely the real deal. Can be used as intended to protect your finger from being pricked by your needle. Alternatively would make a great addition to an existing thimble collection.
Good Craic stocks a wide range of Irish souvenirs including many items you may not see elsewhere. I cherry pick the very coolest items from the various suppliers. The shop is eclectic and fun and definitely worth a visit if you are in the Mourne area. If a product doesn’t exist yet I might just create it myself.
