My husband and I stopped by here on our way out of Stumpy's (right across the way) as we were…read morelooking for a candle for my father-in-law who is picky about what he likes. He loved a smell from another candle place but refused to return because how strong the smell was. When we walked in we were greeted and asked what we were looking for. The gentleman that assisted us immediately found a couple candles, which would have been enough, but he also brought us to a table in which they had a new scent. The scent was perfect. They had not yet named it so they were nice enough to print us a custom label. There was also a young man there starting his own line of body butters and scrubs, TMOORE CREATIONS. It was not difficult to support this young entrepreneur as there were a few different scents and we ended up getting the cotton candy scrub. We also made sure to scan their QR to keep updated because the entire experience was great. Oh and I even found out they do candle making parties. If you are looking for a way to get people together for a custome event, think of this.

It's the kind of store where you can easily find something for just about anyone and any occasion. They have a great selection of greeting cards and some of the most unique wrapping paper. Also, we've picked up several Jellycats here for our niece. Prices can run a bit high, but that's part of the charm since many of the items feel thoughtfully curated and aren't the kind of things you'll find everywhere else. The staff is consistently friendly and always greets us when we walk in. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, this is the place.

It was cool... Having attended a few candle-making classes before at other businesses, it was…read moredifficult not to compare this experience to prior ones. The bar was previously set and unfortunately Wick & Sip didn't fully meet it. More scent variety would have been great. It was also nearly impossible to smell the fragrances from the samples, so you had to reference the full supply bottles to get a worthwhile whiff. Luckily my class was relatively small, but even so, getting the chance to smell certain scents was cumbersome once they were claimed by others (again, you had to use the full bottles because the smaller samples were too faint). I didn't mind the selection of drinks, but please keep in mind that they come with the purchase so don't expect huge portions. Also, both times, the gentleman poured noticeably larger amounts for my guest compared to mine. No big deal given that these aren't top shelf drinks, but it was just weird and seemed intentional. It's downtown so parking can be frustrating, but fortunately I went at the right time and managed to park in front of the establishment. I would definitely go again if invited by someone, but I would first consider other similar businesses if it's an outing that I plan myself or just feel like making candles as a solo activity.

This is the best value I've found for candle making sessions in the area.

There was one other shopper in the store while we were there, and despite the small size it generally felt safe to visit. Hand sanitizer was available too, which is always great. Prices seemed fair for the selected items. I'd return if I'm in Lakeside and looking for an unique gift.
