Looking for Catholic "souvenirs" whilst on honeymoon in Co. Cork

Hello everyone! My soon-to-be-wife and I are excited to honeymoon in your lovely country for a week and a half in May. We will primarily be in West Cork, and have rented a car for day trips around the county. A short leg of the trip will be in Dublin as well.

We are Catholic. I'm looking for something special to buy to bring home to remember the trip. Not so much a cheap souvenir I can buy at any gift store, but something which might be unique to the country itself. Perhaps an Irish penal rosary or a rosary made with Connemara marble? No, my search is not limited to rosaries :). Even if someone could suggest an antique market which might have Catholic paraphernalia, it would be much appreciated.

Would searching Cathedral gift shops be my best bet? I have seen that there used to be a store in Dublin called Veritas which is now gone.

Being from Canada, we are not adverse to traveling a bit out of our way if there is something unique outside of the area stipulated. We're quite used to 5+ hour drives!

Thank you in advance for any and all advice.
