Then, I crossed the street and found the same candle, with "Monterey, CA" written on it (which I really wanted in the first place) for $12.95. I tried to return the candle, stating the reasons mentioned above and they looked at me like I was stupid and pointed at the sign that said "No Refunds." Yes, ladies, I can read, but I'm on vacation and found better stores to spend my money in, so the next time I visit Monterey, I'll remember not to shop at your store.

You're Killing Me Smalls candle smells warm and amazing. I'm a big candle person and I love for my home to smell warm and cozy. This will do it. 2. Egyptian Amber is sexy. This candle, red wine and some cheese. It's a whole vibe and I love it. 3. Black Raspberry Vanilla smells like I have something delicious baking in the oven. It's perfect. 4. Lavender Vanilla incense. Not overwhelming, very balance and perfect for a nice bath. Bonus: Don't forget to grab the fresh linen room spray. That clean house smell never fails! All in all, Locally Lit by Johnny Wicks, is my new candle go-to candle spot and I love supporting small businesses.

Whenever we vacation in the Monterey area, the Aquarium is one of the first places we visit and…read moreMackerel Jack's is a close second. After all, it's right there on Cannery Row and practically next door to the Aquarium. Whether I need new apparel, gifts or souvenirs, (or not), I just can't pass this store up! They are crammed from top to bottom with T-shirts, jackets, hats, nick knacks, jewelry, toys, etc.  There are lots of fun things to browse through from classy to tacky. Chances are you won't leave without some sort of purchase. And of course, I splurged on a stuffed animal for Joe K's grand daughter and a pair of earrings for myself. If you can't quite afford the elevated prices that other Cannery Row shops seem to have, you may find more variety, and more reasonable prices here. This store definitely fulfills the needs of the souvenir hunter, and worth a look see!
