I was REALLY excited about this store opening in downtown Jackson. Super cool building/entryway. I…read morestopped in quickly to peek shortly after they opened. I was happy to know of another gift option in the area and was looking forward to coming back. I have now attempted to visit twice but was completely turned off by the fact the owner and one other person (possibly employee) were standing right at the entryway smoking cigarettes. Major turnoff!!! It has happened twice now (once only the owner; once with two people). I tried to give them a chance. So, I went around the corner and spent my money at Rustic Market Co. I really liked the store offerings of the Jackson Candle Co. and layout of the store but until I can visit without being exposed to secondhand smoke to get in, I won't be visiting. That's really too bad.

I was looking for some new sage to burn at home and this place popped right up when I searched for sage. The show is super cute! It is small, so perfect place to stop if you do not have a lot of time. I was able to get a sage bundle that was local to Michigan, a new apophyllite stone, and some fun stickers all under $20 dollars I think. So, everything is super affordable! There were two individuals working in there while I was looking around and they both were really helpful. I joked around about one of their stickers that I had to buy. They have several queer stickers so it was nice to feel welcomed there! CHEERS

What an absolute gem of a local shop! I discovered Elements from word of mouth...and I continue to…read morespread the word! I was a bit worried what the shop might have to offer, and the lack of parking in the area (side street only and limited to only a few cars) was not a good sign. As soon as I walked through the original double doors to Elements....any negative thought I had vanished. I was immediately greeted by Kate (who also has amazing artwork available for purchase at art hop events) and welcomed into the store. The space is indeed small, but there is so much to offer! Whatever metaphysical or spiritual item you might be in search of, they have it or will consider ordering! I found lots of little Christmas gifts, some birthday gifts and many goodies for myself. I rsally love how there is a printed card for each crystal that you are able to take with you! There are plethora reading materials and quite the assortment of tarot/oracle card decks. The prices are very reasonable, and the space and staff very welcoming...I felt like family on all of my visits. They also offer special classes (times listed on their FB page) and are starting a new event for the first Saturday of each month to showcase local artistry/talents (art, music, crafts). This is my new favorite place to shop for my metaphysical needs!

Something there is that loves a vacation town rock shop …read more.. I feel a little sorry for the nice ladies who run this place, with various spiritual and Wiccan items. But to my children this place is an amazing treasured purveyor of beautiful rocks - a place they will root through various little cravable beautiful stones, gems, and carvings. A place they would rather go to blow their walking-around money than even the toy store. We could easily go four times in a one week vacation, crossing our fingers and hoping each time the credit card machine works. This may not be the target clientele of Mother Moon but they are friendly and patient and treat our children well, and that is all we could ask.

My not-so-little-anymore (aka-14yo) cousin has recently begun collecting crystals and rocks, and…read moreshe was PSYCHED to see Mother Moon during one of our many trips into Uncommon Coffee while in town one weekend. I had seen the storefront many, many times over my years coming to town but had never gone inside so I popped in with her. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. They're a teeny shop but they have a really wonderfully curated collection of crystals and rocks, both small and some as big as the whole of your hand. There's also a fairly large selection of incense and oils, jewelry and decorative objects, books, and even a small amount of clothing. My cousin recently participated in her first craft fair selling her handmade jewelry and she dropped a nice chunk of her earnings here on some really beautiful stones for her collection! If you're into the metaphysical or just want some lovely things to smell or look at, be sure to pop in and visit them! I will definitely make it a point to stop in and visit every time I'm in town from now on.

I loved the scent blends they provided for us. The staff is super helpful and made the whole thing super fun! The most recent visit was on valentines for a date night. They were busy but we still felt like the staff was attentive and walked us through the full process. This is a luxury experience but you get both the time making candles together plus the candles, so I'd say it's worth the money. There's tons of scents and vessels to choose from and we had a blast picking and making them. Anyone with any level of "craftiness" would enjoy coming here!

The entire date didn't take very long but luckily there are tons of places to go after within walking distance. You have to come back a different day to pick up what you made once it turns into a candle!

I am a long-time customer of Swan Creek and regret to say this experience has ended my relationship…read morewith this location. During a recent visit to complete our annual Christmas candle shopping, my wife, children, and I had a highly unprofessional experience involving an employee named Amanda. When we asked basic customer service questions--specifically about available gift sets and whether we could check out--we were met with unnecessary rudeness and dismissive behavior. Her words and actions made it clear that we were unwelcome in the store. This visit occurred within the final hour before closing, which may explain the treatment we received, but regardless of timing, customers should not be made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable for asking routine questions. Unfortunately, the issue did not end there. Several days later, we contacted the store to report our experience. Amanda answered the phone and stated that there was no one overseeing management at the location and refused to provide contact information for any supervisor or corporate office. My wife did not identify herself during this call, so there was no indication that Amanda knew she was speaking with the same customer from the prior visit. On a subsequent call, I again spoke with Amanda and was provided a generic Gmail address as the only point of contact for someone allegedly overseeing the location. During this same conversation, Amanda stated she was working alone, which was later determined to be untrue, as the individual whose email address she provided was physically present in the store at that time. Eventually, I did receive a callback from the individual currently overseeing the store. I was informed that the store manager was terminated earlier this year and the position has not been filled. Despite assuming managerial duties, this individual stated he is not authorized to coach employees, address performance concerns, or take corrective action. No apology was offered for our in-store experience. Additionally, I was informed that there are no formal processes or training in place at this location related to customer sensitivity, diversity awareness, emergency situations, or incident escalation to corporate leadership. This lack of oversight and structure is concerning from both a customer service and safety standpoint. Based on this experience, it appears there is little to no accountability or management oversight at this location. As a result, I cannot recommend shopping here and will not be returning.
