We love the seasonal items such as reindeer food my children love picking up during Christmas time. If you have the time an are in the area definitely stop in, so many gift ideas. Another perk is that you can order online and get items shipped! The owners are wonderful ladies and have made their shop so cozy and inviting.

Every item we carry in our gift shop is handpicked with our customers in mind. We strive to provide our loyal shoppers with something new, affordable, and distinctive. We find the beauty in artwork created by several talented local artists such as pottery, hand-painted black and white checked items, stained glass, knitted sweaters, hand-sewn home décor, and recycled/repurposed wood items. We work closely with them in much of their design to accommodate the needs of our customers and friends.

If they feel like it they will greet you or if there is someone in the store they know, they are all over them while the rest of us just fend for ourselves. I was not impressed with Tina at this location. She was rude. It was an inconvenience for me to be there to purchase anything because she was by herself working on a display. To add insult to injury, I had to use a digital coupon on my smartphone and it annoyed her that I didn't zoom in enough. With a specialty retailer you think you would have the right people working to represent your brand. I would look at your staff and ask yourself "Is this the right fit for them? Do they represent our brand the way we want it represented?"

I've seen DIY candle bars in other cities and was SO EXCITED to find out one had opened here!…read more This shop is located in the McCarthy Mercantile, underneath Wildflowers Armory. The shop itself is really cozy, with brick walls and shelves of candles and containers. Though small, it's tastefully decorated, and feels really chic. About 4 people can fit at the candle bar, though I'm told they might be able to accommodate more for special events/appointments. The process is super simple. First, pick out up to three scents. The owner helped me here by making suggestions based on the kind of scents I told her I liked. This was super helpful, because she suggested some I wouldn't have thought to try or pair. It was a little overwhelming because there were so many options, but I went with a combo of her recommendations and my kneejerk instincts. Eventually choose cabernet, cotton & linen, and English garden. Step two is to pick out the container. When I went, there were only two kinds of vessels, a dark or a light - though the owner mentioned possibly adding more options. Step three, the owner pours hot wax into the container, then fragrance, then sets a timer for a few minutes, and you stir until it stops. From there, your candle is finished, and just needs to set. This takes around 90 minutes, and you can either come back and get it the same day, or pick it up another day. Then, the owner wraps it up in a bag with super cute matches and a sticker, and it's super nice. This would make a really nice present, date night, girls night, etc. I had a lot of fun and I've been destressing with my candle all week. This was super fun and I definitely recommend checking it out if you want something different to do!

I am currently sitting awash in ancient incense and leather and I've never wanted my place to smell like anything more. There are some more standard candle vessels and some unique options, depending on when you stop in. I have two of the more standard vessels and think they're wonderful but someone I came in with took home a delightful soup bowl with a wooden wick that smells exactly as they wanted it to smell. If you stop in upstairs, you can also grab some reed diffusers and scents if you're not a candle person or just can't trust your cat with an open flame (I get it, mine can be a menace, too). I'm so picky about scent that I can't compare the pricing here to other places, as I don't usually find candles I'm willing to smell in my home long-term so to me, these are worth every penny.

There were so many scents to choose from and the process is so easy, you have the time to pick your favorites. It's cozy and calm inside, for a perfect little date or girl's night. Plus, it's the best location, if you go earlier you can window shop & bar hop while your candles harden!
