Candles come in a range of sizes, as do the incense (cone and stick). They have a standard set of scents that are always available, as well as seasonal and limited edition ones. There's usually a candle or incense stick burning right outside the main door so you can get a sniff and lured in by the promise of more. Prices are a bit up there, but I think it matches the quality. These aren't cheap candles and incense sticks that are overpowering and strong, and they don't burn fast. You'll get your money's worth out of them.

It seems San Francisco gets typecast depending on which neighborhood you go to . I have been…read morefortunate to understand the different neighborhoods across San Francisco living in more than eight different neighborhoods. One neighborhood which always gets a reputation of being stuck up is the Marina. If you ever spend enough time in the Marina this notion is false. The Marina showed true grit and resilience after the 1989 San Francisco earthquake. I seen a lot of people get loose and have some fun in the Marina especially on Chestnut street( this includes adventures with the cool Don Juan himself). There are plenty of places to enjoy some of good food and drinks. There is one place which you will see the sense of humor of the Marina and the city of San Francisco and it's called Ei Home on Chestnut street. On a Spring stroll in Marina in the San Francisco sun I landed on Chestnut street at Ei home . Inside you will find some interesting novelties for sale. They have hats and bags with different designs . You can even find a laptop sleeve and some colorful towels . They have lot of humorous novelty items. The items here are a few levels above the tourist trap gifts you will find by Fisherman's Wharf. They have everything to candles and pillows with monuments of San Francisco. Get a leg up on Christmas shopping early with random stocking stuffers year round at Ei home a homage to my home of San Francisco. They say the Marina is all stuck up you are getting fed a bunch of "lies" I visited here for decades I experienced it with my own "eyes" if you discover it more it becomes a pleasant "surprise" go to A16 where pizza gets cut with scissors and go to Little Original Joe's for the "Zucchini Fries" Go to Chestnut and find early birds eating brunch outside in the sun and also the late night "diner" or go to a bar and possibly see a former SF Giants player or a former "Forty Niner "and go to the Studio on Chestnut and pose for a photo like your a model wearing clothes made by a fashion "designer" and then go shop at Ei Home located on Chestnut between Pierce street and "Steiner"

It's the kind of service that turns a shopping trip into a memorable experience. Patty is an incredible representative of Diptyque and a huge asset to the Fillmore boutique.

It will fulfill your fragrance cravings for scents that are bourgeois and full of depth. I couldn't help myself given my compulsion to want to smell new scents.. My love of fragrance started way back in high school when I was constantly at either Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret buying up all the body sprays. What made this visit to Diptyque particularly nice was their sales associate Frances. I had the pleasure of meeting Frances as I casually wandered in. Like usual, I'm picking up random lids of their famous candles and inhaling their scents. Frances approaches me and we had the nicest conversation over our mutual love of fragrance. He is one of those people that has a real passion for perfume and takes his time to explain not only the notes each fragrance has but how they can make you feel. When I explained how a specific fragrance (in this case a new one called "Lilyphea") and how it smelled like a warm hug, Frances understood completely. Unlike some other high end stores that can come off as snooty or arrogant, this store is anything but. The sales associates here in my experience have been down to earth, easy to talk to and care to build the most important thing with their clientele-- relationships. This is the kind of thing that will bring me back to a store even if it's not to buy for myself but for a gift. Thank you Frances for making an already perfect day in SF even better. I'm taking my time with my 2 samples and enjoying them during my work day.

One of the first recommendations that was given to me was Often Wander. It is a tiny store, but the selection is amazing. There are so many candles to choose from, and so many delicious scents! They also have a wide variety of crystals, rocks, and quality hand-crafted jewelry. The store may be small, but you could still get lost! The workers are also very friendly and seek to help wherever they can. My one suggestion is that there be a bit more transparency about the "50% off candle refill" offer. There are more fees and stipulations than advertised, and I don't think that is entirely fair. But other than that, the store is lovely, and I will certainly be a regular!
