The shop also carries typical chic hipster-esc items like fun patterned reusable bags, a bunch of unique and cute greeting cards, candles, and they even have books wrapped for a blind date with a book! I am very glad I stopped by here on my trip to Philly and I'd recommend it as a fun shop for anyone artsy or visiting the city!

The staff is attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. Happy to help when you need it, but otherwise allows you to shop solo.

Enjoyed that they had a variety of not just paper, journals and pens but also locally sourced items like coffee, books and stickers. The shop was pretty crowded during my visit, probably a dozen people or so in the small space. This made me happy to see so many people shopping local. Eventually, after browsing most of the store, I decided to get a coffee bean pendant for my Traveler's Notebook. I've seen this same charm online for upwards of $20. Omoi's was $18. Definitely a value there! The service was excellent. While ringing me up one of the ladies running the register grabbed the Traveler's Notebook stamp (which you have to ask for) and let me do my thing. The stamp for the Traveler's Notebook is pretty cool, it features a soft pretzel and Water Ice.

Omoi was close to where we were coming to / heading to, so I bookmarked it and we managed to stop by before they closed.

I ended up picking up some cute notepads for a friend and some washi tape for myself. I love that they sold matchbooks here! I am an avid matchbook collector, despite not smoking a day in my life.

I visited Deko Deko DIY in Philadelphia after seeing their grand opening video months ago. I've…read morebeen wanting to go but it never panned out, and I find this location to be more convenient than the center city one. I finally went with my niece, and we had the best creative, affordable day out. PARKING Free and easy, even on a Saturday. We walked in without a reservation and still got our own table. The parking lot was busy, but there is restaurants and an HMart in the plaza. Deko Deko wasn't that busy compared to what the parking made it seem to be. The parking lot is ehh, the location could be better considering it's North Philly, but it's better than center city so I'm not complaining. PRICE Everything is priced by item, not time or size, which makes budgeting simple. My jewelry box was $30 and it came with two cream colors of my choice and unlimited charms (yes, really). Full pricing is listed online, which I really appreciated. EXPERIENCE The space is bright, clean, and beginner-friendly. Ye, one of the staff, was incredibly helpful! He walked us through everything and even gave tips to keep it manageable for someone who is completely new to this. I went with a pink jewelry box and ended up spending about 3 hours on it. I loved every minute of my time. My niece made two phone cases in the same time frame. They supply everything you need and wrap up your piece for a 5-day cure time before you can use it. There's also a small shop, photo booth, and adorable photo wall you'll want to take pics at. TIPS - No reservation needed unless you're with a large group - Great for all ages! Super kid and beginner-friendly - You can bring your own item to decorate but pricing may vary - Photo ops, snacks nearby (H Mart), and an easy walk-in experience OVERALL This is such a gem if you're looking for affordable indoor fun in Philly. Whether you're trying to beat the heat and still want something to do, or go in the winter time. This is a great time! It's relaxing, well-organized, and genuinely joyful. I'm already planning to go back. There was one thing that threw me off. A woman, who wasn't a staff member, wandered in, walked around the crafting tables, and started asking questions directly to me and my niece. It felt a bit invasive, especially because she clearly wasn't part of the experience. I wish staff had stepped in to set clearer boundaries for walk-ins as I'd never just assume I can wander around a studio. For me it's a respect thing.

The doors were opened and there were balloons and decor and music playing if I recall correctly and there were people gathered inside and flowing onto the outside. I was first greeted by the owner's mother and then by other guests attending the opening day festivities that evening. It was such a nice surprise. I received a whole run down of how the shop worked and was able to make a candle for myself from scratch. It was so delightful to get to meet new and interesting people. I did not know anyone there and Beth the owner, along with her friends and family made me feel so welcomed. What I love most is the premise of the business. Each candle has an affirmation on it . I think I have tried all of them except for "Daring" and gifted one to my parents. The idea is that scent is linked to emotion and memory and that you connect positive experiences and affirmations via the scent to elicit this happy hormone response within your body. I recall her telling me that her sister was the one who was able to speak to the science of it and she (Beth) was the brains behind it in terms of creating scents and the affirmations. I have to say that those candles really helped me immensely, especially during a time that I needed encouragement and motivation the most. I started out using them in Philadelphia and then ordered from the store to have them shipped to me when I lived in Virginia. I would light the candle and then meditate on the affirmation that was printed on the label. It doesn't go without saying that the candles themselves smell absolutely amazing. They aren't like generic or overly nauseating by any means. All of the scents are natural and not overpowering or overwhelming. Some are a bit stronger than others. My particular favorite is "Radiant" because it has notes of grapefruit and peppercorn. It has the revitalizing scent to it whereas my other favorite is "Connected". That one has this softness to it that reminds me of a subtle musk with a powdery touch. I also like that there are custom made matches you can order as well. I felt lucky that they were included with my order complimentary on that grand opening day. It has been maybe about a year or so since ai first ventured into that store and I have been hooked on those candles ever since. So much so that I feel reluctant getting other kinds. I used to be a devout Sand & Fog fan, Bath and Body Works Candle Sale fan, and Voluspa fan, but now I prefer State of Being candles more than those. You can just tell they are high quality candles and I am a fan. They are a bit costly, but you get what you pay for so they are a good value I think. The scents last for a long time. Some scents are more powerful than others, but I prefer the fragrance to be somewhere in the middle, enough to make me notice is there, but no so strong that it is overpowering. You can tell that they are made with love and that is what I appreciate the most. The good vibes and energy that go into them when they are made. I like to think that when I light them up, that good vibes and energy are radiating out from them:) And it acts like energetic medicine ^_^ So, I will continue to buy from them as long as I can afford them lol but highly recommend! They also apparently do workshops and other fun events now as well. I am subscribed to their newsletter so I get to hear all about what I am missing out on lol but if you are ever in Philly and in the area, I encourage you to stop by if you are into fragrances at all, into spiritual/metaphysical stuff like me, and wish to be in good company. Beth and her family will make sure to treat you with the same respect, care, and attention that she puts into her candles:) Unfortunately, I did not take any photos while I was there in the store, but hopefully my review can give you a good idea of what to expect. Update: 8/15/24-My candle (their newest one) got delivered today and it smells amazing as always. I have it lit and placed next to my vision board that I made at a workshop that I did a few months back..felt like it would be the proper place for it, but finally was able to snap a pic and add to my review:) Will continue to buy more in the future as I am a loyal fan/customer as these candles have helped evoke much positivity in my life
