The first thing I noticed when I opened the door to this heavenly store was the divine smell…read more Hundreds of intoxicating candle aromas blended together cannot fail to impress your nose. I think that my obsession with lovely smelling items is a little more intense than most people's, so I absolutely loved this store. Candle Wick House stock the biggest range of candles I've ever seen, from tiny tea lights to monster-sized candles that would live to see many blackouts. They sell a variety of brands, including the Yankee Candle range, the Australian Ocean Collection, candles by Jelly Belly, and many more. Each of these brands offers many possibilities; you can imagine just how many different fragrances there are. For example, there are the more traditional smells such as sandalwood and lavender vanilla, but there are also blueberry scone, Farmer's market and almond cookie. As well as this, there are many other beautiful smelling options such as reed diffusers. I loved the design and feel of this shop; it felt soothing and cosy while the interior design was beautiful. I didn't buy anything but as I write this I cannot remember why not.

Walking into this shop is like Charlie walking into the Chocolate factory, but with candles instead…read moreof chocolate. Sure, call in if you need candles and gifts, but I would recommend even just going for the experience. The colours, smells and gorgeous decorations all mix together into a wonderland for your senses. Daina is more than happy for you to pick up and touch and smell various candles and diffusers and obviously passionate about the customer experience in the store. I love the Jelly Bean diffusers and the vast range of scents. Being Christmas time, Christmas decorations surrounded the windows and I cannot describe how intricate and well crafted these things are. I always have a great time browsing here and walk out feeling like I've been to a beauty spa.

Next time I visit MOZI I'm leaving my coins and cards at home. Yes, it's just that gosh darn…read moretempting to buy everything in this store. I remember when MOZI launched and was such a small collection of knick knacks for the kitchen. And now look at this little Aussie brand that could! Measuring spoons, plastic bag holders (yes, they're a thing!), bowls, tea towels, plates, dog leads, napkins, and even candles are all neatly displayed in their "print story" categories making a visit to MOZI on trendy James Street an organised mind's dream. Everything is in its place and it makes it that much easier to find what you're looking for. It's fun without being frivolous and twee without being saccharine. If you're looking for a quirky and unique gift for a loved one getting married, moving into a new house, having a baby, birthday, engagement, just because...you get the point...MOZI should most certainly be on your list. The prices are what I personally would consider reasonable with most items being under $40. PS: If someone gifts me the sequined fox tote, I might just have kittens.
