They were having a great sale while we were in the store. I got a few wax melts for $0.75 and some car fragrances as well! The store associates were very friendly and helpful throughout. The store is very clean and easy to shop. Overall: A Great location with a good sale. They are doing well with social distancing.

They even provided us with cups. The scent selection is enormous and I love that the menu has so many options (diffuser, fragrance oils, candles, wax melts and room sprays [room sprays not customizable]). We each made multiple things in various scents. They had scents I've never even heard of. Our fragrance specialist (i made that title up) Natasha was the sweetest and she was extremely helpful when my friend wasn't confident about the scents she was developing. Natasha guided her and gave her suggestions of what she could add, take away and use more or less of until she came out with multiple products she loved. We look forward to our next visit.

What a neat experience!…read more The fam wanted to do a fun activity over the holidays. I stumbled upon The Candle Pour while searching for fun activities in or near Hyde Park. I suggested candle making and another activity and candle making was everyone's top choice. We made a reservation for a party of six and arrived a few minutes early. We were greeted and got started right away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got to choose the type of candle, the size, and the scent(s). There are over 100 scent options, so it can be overwhelming if you're indecisive or not sure of what you want. I chose pine needles, white pepper, and black oud for my scents. After choosing our scents, the staff walked us through the pouring process step by step. Once the candle is poured, it will need to set for two hours before it is ready to go home. Since they were closing, we decided to come back another day to pick them up. We all loved our scents and were excited to light them. However, you have to wait two weeks before lighting them, which was the tough part! We've had our candles for almost three months now and use it sparingly since we like them so much and don't want to run out quickly. We thought the prices were reasonable especially for the quality of the candles and the experience. Highly recommend!

It's so clean, bright, and full of fun items. There were THREE clearance sections, cards, seasonally themed collections, and all the wrapping options you could ever ask for! I found a discounted manual coffee grinder for camping trips, along with some cards and self-care must-haves. The staff are so kind, but they don't follow you around or pressure you into a particular section or purchase. I appreciated the wealth of knowledge they had to offer, plus all the sustainable packaging at their disposal. The biodegradable bags made my eco-friendly heart happy. Definitely give this place a visit if you find love in the details or are looking for special finishing touches to add to a gift!

Several different options from covers, lined, unlined, dotted, smaller/closer lines vs more widely ruled.... I have tiny handwriting, especially with my better, more fine tipped pens I prefer to journal with, so finding a closely ruled journal I like isn't always easy. The wrapping paper options were also lovely, and the selection of items around the shop for not only journaling and book themed things was great, unusual but often undervalued items. My friend finally found more reusable makeup rounds, complete with their own storage bag, after she's been looking for a few months to replace the ones she's had and used for years but are starting to show some definite wear. The cashier and person assisting with stocking were both friendly and helpful without being pushy/overly involved (ALWAYS appreciated as an introvert!). I found not only the perfect journal for my preferences but also picked up a small craft project and both were very fair in price.

X Floral Salon did the flowers for our recent wedding. I will be honest that I am not a flower…read moreperson and I had no particular ideas about what sort of flowers to request. Mylez and the his staff were amazing. I had brought my mother along to help, since she did have some idea about flowers, and they asked a number of questions about the overall feel of the wedding, the colors we were using in our outfits, and our own personal style. We looked over pictures of Andrews Chapel, our ceremony, location and they had lots of ideas to discuss. We decided on an overall feel and some colors for the floral components and left the details in their very capable hands. We could not have been more pleased with the final results! The pew decorations were simple but elegant and showcased the natural beauty of the wood of the chapel. My bouquet was amazing, in shades of white, cream and burgundy. And for the reception, they designed very casual but lovely centerpieces around orchids, which we were able to send home with our guests. Everything exceeded our expectations and added just the right accents to our special day. No problems at all with delivery or setup at either of our locations. I cannot recommend X Floral, Mylez and his staff highly enough. They produced amazing floral design for us - breathtaking in its simple elegance.

I rush out of the parking lot like a bat outta hell. I pull up my handy Yelp App on my phone for florists near me. A few popped up but with heavy traffic, I figure X Floral was the nearest. A bit nondescript. I actually passed it while looking for it. Apparently they used to hold the store in the front on the street level and had to move to the back portion. Hence why I passed it. I pull in and was pleasantly surprised. Poshe little boutique up front - very pretty, clean, organized and smelled wonderfully fragrant as all floral shops should. The owner appeared from the back and had just put everything away. He didn't seem to mind all all to pull things back out for me. He created a beautiful small arrangement while chatting me up about all sorts of things. Very personable and talented. I also asked for petals for the table. The arrangement was $35 which I felt was adequatly priced. The petals were $5 which was way overpriced. I didn't balk and had to run out to make the party. I would definitely order from him again. I felt he definitely was talented and had beautiful flowers in stock. 6 days later and I know the flowers are still beautiful and look fresh so that is a plus!

To make the experience more special, my purchase included a beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers, which came with every purchase. My salesperson, Merfat, was pleasant and knowledgeable. She also offered helpful suggestions for other fragrances to try. Truly a lovely shopping experience!

Naturally we didn't opt for a bouquet or anything extravagant. We wanted simple and elegant candles, since our venue was already beautiful and ornate enough.

She's a small local business vendor who is extremely in demand, so it took a while to communicate with her at first. After that, she was super easy to work with and I highly recommend her services!

The patio furniture was a personal fave. I enjoyed the setups they had and options. The prices were lower than we anticipated them being for the location and style of the shop.
