I heard about Tiki Botanicals through a partnered Yelp event, when I mentioned that I was unable to attend the event the shopkeeper right away said he would honor the event promo. When you walk in there are paper shoppers bags along the wall you can grab to start putting your goodies in. They offer candles, bath bombs, bar soap, hair products, and more! When you check out you get to pick which tissue paper to use in your bag. So adorable and a great touch. As I was leaving the shop I heard the shopkeepers discussing what they would work on for the day. They were going to pour candles. It was a very Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion moment and it made me smile from ear to ear! You can really tell they enjoy what they do and know how to provide a memorable customer experience.

The store in UA is small but jam packed with goodies. They have all kinds of soaps, washes, and lotions, but my favorite items are the candles. They are soy based and smell so good.

I really enjoyed reading all of the little informational placards about the properties of the stones. The store itself has a very calming atmosphere and is divided into two sections. The back section has a really neat Bead Bar where you can make your own bracelet by selecting your own stones. It sounded like a really fun opportunity for a group in particular (though you can walk in and do your own if you prefer), which I would love to do. The staff is friendly. There is parking available in front, but if that's full, there's additional parking around back (make sure you stay on the street parking spots though, the back parking lots are for other businesses).

Handy location on the corner of the named streets, and not far from Book Loft and Stauf's so a nice little trip if you have time and interest for all three. Two rooms filled with soaps and candles (and other items) they make themselves. Sometimes they're working when you walk in, which is cool to watch- and to smell. And the scent drifts outside, making it fun even just to walk past. Staff (owners I assume, plus maybe a couple of others) are always friendly and helpful. There are many different scent options, and product options. They change up a bit each season, so worth stopping back every few months.

I recently lost my father and was gifted this peace lily from his funeral. I successfully killed it in the matter of a couple weeks. I took my sad plant to their little shop explained what was going on and how much this plant meant to me. He showed me what pot to buy (which I knew I was gonna need) and they repotted it for free with the purchase of the ceramic pot with drip tray. Gave me a quick plant lesson on how to care for it and sent me on my way. It's officially 6 months later and my peace lily has now bloomed and is thriving. There aren't enough stars to give or kind words in the world to say about this company. They really truly have something special going for them. Thank you Plant Gays

The shop is fun. David, the owner is helpful and good at helping you pick out the right plant for the right lighting, plus he explains how to keep plants alive (which I am so very bad at-but getting better with his help!) Learned he even makes some of his own pots. Which is so cool! Plants were reasonably priced. The two I purchased were about 17 bucks. The pots were a bit more but the quality was excellent. I am sure I will be back as I gain more confidence in being a plant mom!

**It's YE Gurl -- flower-forward and fragrance-filled on May 10th **…read more While bopping around the **Hops on High Street Fair**, I caught sight of a parade of women twirling around with bouquets like flower-crowned woodland creatures -- and you know I had to follow the trail. It led me straight to **Blossom Flower Bar**, a new florist business that's clearly got the *soft launch meets cool girl era* vibe down. Think: **Trader Joe's DIY floral section** but with actual stylish florist folks on hand to help if you want a real-deal bouquet or guidance on your stems. The vibe? Youthful, jazzy, and blooming with potential. **What I grabbed:** An **exotic mix of flowers** -- the last of the bunch, since they'd opened early for the fair and I swung by post-lunch. A few stems, some not-yet-budded beauties, and a *slightly* picked-over selection still ran me **\$56 with tax**. Yes, that stung a bit, but listen -- **tariffs have upped your Mother's Day flowers by 30%**, so don't say I didn't warn you! Still, the bouquet is **thriving in my vase** days later, and I learned a little flower care too (no direct sunlight, y'all -- so off the kitchen counter and onto my coffee table they went). I don't quite understand the fascination of this city with food and drink, since the other reviews claim they can add it. Why? So you all can overstay your welcome in this shot gun style business? Come on now. Let's keep the drinks and food menu for private events and just learn to pack a sandwich people. LOL **Final thought:** With the plant girl aesthetic booming post-COVID, it's no surprise **florists are hip again**. But let's not forget to show the same support to these **mom-and-pop petal pushers** who bring beauty to the block one bouquet at a time.
