What a cool new shop! I love their variety of merchandise, all made by local artists. They have a…read morelot of great gift items and a vast selection of handmade soaps. Most people don't know about My Gypsy Soul Boutique because they are new, but they are right in front of the Lloyd Post Office. The owner is very customer service oriented, and when I and some friends who were cycling stopped there to shop, other customers were raving about the place. I highly recommend shopping there, and I definitely plan to return when I'm in my car and not on my bicycle so I can buy more!

From the owner: We are a small local business that offers goods from local artists and crafters.read more

Someone returned my call and said it was shipped on April 9. I keep checking the tracking # and it never showed up. I called back on 4/16 and was told the package was still there. Why had they not called me back, shipped it, or refunded it???? I was told it would be shipped immediately and I would get an email. No email. I called today. No clue but was told it was shipped. Ughhhhhhh

Southern Lights Candle Shop is an amazing little spot! They offer much more than just candles there…read moreare soaps, lotions, and a variety of unique trinkets and gifts. The service was outstanding. The woman working there was incredibly patient and kind, even with the kids asking questions and wanting to touch everything. That alone made the experience memorable. We ended up buying a few items before heading out. The shop is conveniently located right on the main strip across from the castle, making it easy to stop in while exploring. As a bonus, right after visiting we ate at the Gourmet Garden Indian Restaurant nearby, which was also excellent. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Southern Lights Candle Company is a must stop in Old St. Augustine. The woman who owns the shop is…read moreincredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. Talking with her, you can feel the heart behind the place. It's a small family business she and her husband have run for a couple of years, with their son(s) helping out in the shop. The kids had a blast browsing all the trinkets and picked out a few toys, the 3D-printed dinosaurs/snakes were a hit. I grabbed some shea butter ($10) and was honestly amazed by the soaps, candles, and all the eclectic finds throughout the store. Super cute shop. Definitely worth checking out.

Run from this scam company. They sent me the wrong item after waiting over 3 weeks for my order. I…read moreimmediately returned the garbage they sent me and they received it on 2/19 and as on 2/27 have received NO refund. They took no accountability for their mistake and blamed it on a new, untrained employee. Apparently their customers/victims have to pay the price, literally and figuratively. They have my hard earned $87 and nothing to show for it. They'll pay for it in the end. Companies who do business like this will always crumble. Its more like Unchic River Mafia. They didn't issue a review until I filed a complaint with Affirm over a month after they received their incorrect, substandard products back. If I had not filed a formal complaint with Affirm they never would have issued a refund. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

We went here for my daughter's birthday. They have a special class for kids 7-17 on Tuesdays and…read moreWednesdays. Since it was a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet in the area and we had a private class with Chris. Chris was very thorough, starting with candle and fire safety. He took his time showing my daughter the process, from pouring, mixing, balancing the smells and everything in between. He knew a lot about scents and what goes well together. The shop itself was really nice and tidy. Bonus points on the "secret" room that had some gaming stuff like pool table, mini arcade area and some board games. I say secret because the connecting door is hidden as one of the shelves. He let us take our time in the room that is actually an adjoining room to his shop that has its own entrance/exit door. We could have also bought food from next door and the shop offers drinks. They have different events every month. Really neat shop, close to lots of other neat businesses like coffee and ice cream shops.

I went with my son and some friends, and we all want to go back for a girl's night out. You get to choose your candle container, number of wicks and scents. They recommend choosing 3 scents and there are a lot of scents to choose from! They were helpful with helping us decide which ones went well together. The other side is a gaming lounge/bar with self-pour taps, which is pretty neat. You can serve yourself beer and wine after getting a card from the front desk. Overall, it was a fun experience and worth checking out if you are looking for something different to do.
