Not only do these candles burn slowly because they're made of the best stuff on earth soy, their heavenly, intoxicating fragrances illuminate every room of my house.

Their candles are soy based and have a wooden wick so it's not toxic for you compared to other candle brands. There is a smell for everyone; they have floral smells, sweet smells, fresh scents, and they even had Halloween scents. I would recommend this store to all my candle lovers and you can find a great gift for others as well. The sales rep was friendly and informative! It's a great addition to old town Manassas. FYI: the candles with glitter... the glitter remains and does not evaporate so your candles will remain shimmery!

This Crystal, Candles, & Cauldrons shop was suggested to me when I asked about where to find decent…read morecrystals. Founded in 2007 and relocated to this location in 2008. They are in Hampden. Straight from their website, "at the corner of Roland Avenue and 36th Street. We are located in the rear of the Historic Hampden Hall building, with our entrance off of the rear parking lot." I was walking around that building for a bit before I found them, haha. If you see Truist along 36th Street, it's on the other side of it. This is their website https://www.wiccancrystal.com/ and they are also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/crystalscandlescauldrons/ In the 'About Us' section on their website it states, "All of our items are hand picked for their quality, value and appeal. We carry all kinds of crystals, candles, and, yes, even cauldrons. In addition, we have a selection of over 100 tumbled stones, incense, oils, herbs, sterling silver jewelry, books, journals, faeries, figurines, wall hangings, tapestries, wind chimes, hoodoo kits, holy water, note cards, art prints, artist embellished prints, stickers, swords, athames, tarot cards, angel cards, bags & more!" and "We offer tarot readings, angel card readings, astrology charts, and animal communication readings. These are available by walk-in or appointments." It's a cozy shop with ALL THE THINGS! I was browsing all the different items, there are really so many... and so much that I've never seen elsewhere! Very unique and niche. There are different 'walking altars' around the shop for different things. I asked a worker about this, and she explained to me the different purposes for them. I thought that was pretty cool. I decided to ask the staff for recommendations for a gift to a coworker. They expertly suggested to me different things that had different purposes and explained them to me. They were so knowledgeable! I decided on a door hanger made of selenite and black tourmaline crystals. This offered protection, grounding, and balance. They also explained that selenite is a softer stone and to avoid getting it wet as water could break it down. Something I would've never known! I included that information with my gift. Thanks to the awesome staff for helping me with my purchase! They also had a spinning display with different cards. The one that said "Kind People Are The Best Kind Of People" really spoke to me, so I got that to include with my gift. I like that it's a one stop shop for all your needs :) Will definitely return here when I'm in the area!

I recently had the pleasure of coming across the ST. Burgh's Wickery…read morecompany at the Charles County fair. I can't say enough about my experience with them. When I approached the table I was warmly greeted by the owner and his son. The quality of their candles is exceptional. My favorite thing about this company is that all the candle are homemade and come in a variety of sizes. Each one is carefully crafted with the finest ingredients, resulting in a clean and long-lasting burn. The scents are simply divine, and they fill my home with warmth and tranquility. Whether you looking for a calming lavender scent for relaxation or a festive holiday fragrance to set the mood, ST. Burgh's Wickery has it all. Their customer service is equally impressive. Every question I had the owner and his son answered them without hesitation. They genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction, which was evident in our interaction. By the end of our conversation I end ups purchasing their Christmas Past candle, Lemon Verbena wax melt, and White Linen. In summary, ST. Burgh's Wickery is a shining example of what a candle company should be. Their quality, variety of scents, affordability, and customer service make them stand out as a local gem . I can't recommend them enough, and I look forward to many more relaxing and aromatic moments with their candles. I haven't had the pleasure yet but as soon I can I plan to check out their brick and mortar store located on Leonardtown road in Waldorf, Maryland, and I encourage you to do the same!

I enjoyed the process of smelling the sample scents and selecting my vessel. The fee was reasonable at $20. I choose to upgrade my vessel which was an additional $8.

I'm looking forward to returning. I had a great experience here.

The staff were all very nice and helpful if you needed it. You pick your jar, scent then get to pouring. There are wide variety of jars and scents and they are all reusable which is a great concept! The whole thing honestly could take you 15 mins. You can either wait 2 hours to pick it up or pick it up on another day. It's a cute candle with a lovely scent but unsure if it's worth the $40 overall. Of note, when I picked up my candle it looked cracked and the wax was all over the wick. Unsure if it got jostled when it was being set out to dry.

And I'm certainly not one to say no to shopping... and Kimi knows me pretty well - so in we went. In this adorable little shop you'll find a bit of everything: From chic baby toys and gear, to Women's athletica, adorable spice recipe kits, dog treats, jewelry, natural deodorant, candles and so much more that I'm forgetting. The store is immaculately designed. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a higher end boutique - but it's also not stuffy at all like some places. It's just highly curated with interesting unique products, and could be the absolute best place for stocking stuffers, small gifts, making a gift basket and also obviously splurging on yourself. I ended up getting some natural dog treats for the pup, and I almost splurged on some fancy balsamic vinegar. This splurge was for the pup, the next time I come in the splurge will be for me lol. Definitely worth stopping in. If you're someone who LOVES getting little treats and surprises for your friends and family this could be the perfect spot. The mix is eclectic and Kimi pointed out that they even sell this soap that was gifted to us for Latinx heritage month as it's a Latin owned soap company. I feel like it's the apothecary David would open if he was a woman.

This is the perfect place to grab a special gift for a friend and reminds me of those cute, indie boutiques that are on every corner in LA. I hope this shop stays around for a long time.
