Tal-Lira

Tal-Lira Galleria Fgura is the Fgura branch of Tal-Lira, a Maltese retailer that sells an enormous range of everyday items at modest prices: homeware, stationery, toys, party supplies, pet products, beauty basics and gifts. The online shop lists more than 3,700 products, and prices stay low across the whole catalogue, so this is a store for practical purchases rather than luxury goods. For UK visitors in self-catering accommodation, it is a handy place to pick up things you forgot to pack, from batteries and travel essentials to food containers and cheap kitchen basics for the week.

Our directory files the Fgura store under cinemas in Malta, but the business itself is a household and gift store, not a cinema, and this page describes what it actually sells.

What you can buy

The catalogue is organised by theme. Stationery covers school supplies, diaries and planners for 2027, drawing and activity books and envelopes. Home and decor includes candles, vases, frames, throws and carpets, while the kitchen range runs from dinnerware and mugs to food containers and baking items. There are also sections for laundry and cleaning, outdoor and garden items, a barbecue range, hangers and organisers, sewing and knitting, travel essentials, hair and beauty, fitness and car care.

Families will find toys, games, baby essentials and pet beds and toys. Party shopping is a speciality, with themed tableware, balloons, birthday candles, party bags, baby shower and hen party items, and gift wrapping, cards and gift bags. Seasonal ranges change through the year: at the time of checking there were Halloween costumes, buckets and decorations, an autumn collection and back to school lines.

Prices you can expect

Prices are printed in euros and tax is included. Everyday items such as pegs, raffle tickets, cards and small stationery sit at the very bottom of the scale, children's Halloween costumes, themed lunch boxes and candles are low single or double figures, and larger items such as rugs and bed sets cost more. Because the catalogue has well over three thousand lines, the best approach is to browse the online shop by collection before you visit, then pop in or collect the items you have chosen. Sale items show the reduced price next to the original, and new arrivals are grouped in a New In section, which makes it easy to see what has just come into the shop.
