I called this business 9 days before Christmas. I wanted to place an order, but I was concerned…read moreabout whether I would be able to get my candles in time to give them as gifts. The owner assured me I'd get the order in time, so I placed my order with the standard flat shipping fee and hoped for the best. The very next morning I opened my front door to find the candles already delivered and waiting on my mat. I'm stunned and impressed. I can only assume the owner paid out of pocket for overnight shipping, and I'm so very grateful to already have all my gifts in hand so I can take my time wrapping them. Absolutely excellent service!!!

As you might guess from the name, these are the folks to go to for beeswax candles. I've been…read morebuying from this web-based business for a couple of years, and love their products AND their prices. The Barth's (who own the business) make really good, consistent products, and their prices are lower than any other supplier I've found. For example, they have an oversized votive that fits most votive holders and burns longer. The burn time estimates on their web site are accurate; you really get 20 hours out of a large votive. They also make tea light replacements without the little metal or plastic cups, so you can reuse your tea light holders. Candles arrive nicely wrapped, well-packed, shipped by priority US mail. I got ours in three days. We burn a lot of votives and tea lights, and after years of experience, have switched completely to beeswax because it is a green product, and because it burns longer and cleaner than any other kind of candle. This is the most cost-effective and ecologically sensitive source I've found for candle lighting anywhere in the US.

Downtown Springfield is really going through a revitalization, and Earth Elements is a part of…read morethat. This store is really beautiful with a lot of items that will make your home beautiful. Their fragrance items seem to be a big part of their portfolio, and it's a worthy focus. They have some really nice scents here, ones that I would not have expected to like at all given the combo. For instance, there was one called Strawberry + Violet, and another called Watermelon + Plum that had a nice subtle scent. I don't like violet and would have thought the scents of the second candle would have been too strong and artificial for me, but I ended up buying both. They also have air fresheners that are handmade here, and can be made to have the same scents as the candles. There are a couple of particularly interesting things about the shop. You can come in and make your own candle, as they have a candle bar. I think when she gets there she turns on the crockpot or whatnot to melt the wax and then you can make your candle, so you should contact them if you're interested so you don't come too early before the wax is melted. Similarly, I believe you can make your own air fresheners as well by adding your floral accents and then choosing the scents that you want to add. And even more unique, this shop offers refills of their candles. You can purchase the large candle, and then once it's burned down you can purchase a refill for it. To do this you'd have to practice excellent candle maintenance so that it burned evenly! But I think this is so awesome, and a way of being more environmentally conscious. The owner was friendly and very patient with my questions. I may have sounded like this was the first time I had seen a candle because I was not sure I understood the candle refill thing, and the air freshener option, etc. They also carry items by other local artists, and have home decor items like prints, pillows, reed diffusers, clothing items, and so on. Earth Elements is a must-visit when you're in the area.

I've walked by this place several times when they were closed, and needless to say, I was excited…read moreto find them open yesterday. This is a fun and neat gift shop. Good selection without being overcrowded, which I appreciate. I found a coin purse, which was awesome. My husband and I were literally talking about me needing one last week. I was excited. Lol. Besides that, I found stickers and a journal. Which I always need new journals. Past that( they specialize in candles, soaps, and home decorations. It is a fun store to explore. The employee or owner working was kind and welcoming. He took his dog with him, who came out to greet us when we were at the counter, so I got my puppy fix while I was in there. I think more business owners should bring their dogs to work just for this reason. I thought the prices were good and the value was high. I spent $30 on the three things I bought, which wasn't bad. Would I return? Yes! Definitely yes. It is a fun store to explore, great owner running it, and very memorable. My husband and I both enjoyed it.

I have long been a fan of the candles for their gorgeous scents that are always just right on par. The scents are so well thought out, all of the combinations, that you never have one scent that's over powering another. They just work well together and help your space to feel more welcoming. So as far as candies go, you can't go wrong with these. They are by far my favorite and I'm a "super smeller," so that means a lot for me to say. The rest of the store is curated with local merchants goods. Jewelry, blankets, coffee cups and water bottles, wool hats, caramels, chocolates...you name it, you can find a lovely gift there! I did quite a bit of Christmas shopping there since I'd rather infuse my locally earned money into our local economy and support local businesses. I'm so excited to gift these unique and special items. And of course I got myself a "High Desert," "Festive Forest," and "Cypress & Spruce" candle to bring home for my house. I love everything about this store at it feels like walking into a cozy home that's been appointed with everything you need to be cozy and happy. Don't waste your time, just go and do your holiday shopping there! And spoil yourself some too!!!

We used to…read morecome here a LOT for a Masonic youth group and the Masonic temple is next door to this shop, but Albany has been making lots of improvements in the time since we were involved in all that and it was cool to see some of the changes made, including Ree + Rae's and Hole in the Wall Vintage. This shop was really cute and folks were quite friendly. I love that they had items from various vendors. I chose some really nice room/linen spray with a scent profile called Berry Balsam, which smells fantastic. I was expecting a far too overpowering botanical, since balsam is a pretty strong smell, but this is a great balance. I also got some coasters, really cute, that are crochet and they're shaped like sunflowers. Prices were so reasonable. You'll find lots of fun finds here, for yourself or gifts for others.
