Like the Bishop Arts store, this is easily one of the best smelling shops I've ever entered. The…read moreminute I opened the door the great scent just drew me into the shop. Upon entering there were candles, candles and more candles. I usually frequent the Bishop Arts location but getting there is challenge due to the construction in the area. Also, since I was in the area doing some other things I decided to stop into this location. While the layout of the two stores is similar, this location is more spacious which allows more for more comfortable shopping experience during the busy periods. Also, because of the larger space, they have more product in the store and ready for purchase. Something to note is that while both locations carry the same items; because of demographics availability of certain items may be more readily available at one location than the other. Thankfully, my two favorite candles were in stock making my trip a success. The staff as this location are very welcoming and friendly. The person I worked with was very helpful in pointing out the candles I went for. Of the my two, I was worried that they didn't have one of them and she pointed to where they were and explained the labeling has changed which is why I walked right past them. Having covered a few of the similarities between the two locations; one area where they differ is parking. This location has a huge parking lot (it is shared with other businesses in the area) has plenty of parking. While I don't mind street parking (and walking), there is something to be said for a parking lot as it adds a level of convenience to the shopping experience. Because this was my first visit (I was unsure of the exact location amongst all the other shops), I ended up parking a distance away from the shop and walking to it. I will probably continue to do that as it allows me to still get the walking experiencing. If you're not into walking there are plenty of spaces right in front of the shop. I have been a huge fan of Society and their awesome candles for a few years. While this was my first visit to this location it will not be the last; I foresee many more visits in the future. If you are wanting some nice smelling candles or looking for a unique gift for someone I highly recommend you 'check-in' to Society.

My friend and I were shopping in Dallas and knew we wanted to run by Preston Center so I googled…read morewhat shops were there and came across Society. I wasn't sure if it was a home decor shop or just candles, as I found out they are also a design company. Turns out this is their second location, the first being in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas. This is just a candle boutique, not a home decor or design store. But the owners are designers and have an office elsewhere, if I understood correctly. I loved the look of the store and the salesperson was friendly and helpful. Their candles are pricy but LOVE all the scents and they make a great gift. Oh and I had to buy one for me too! I asked the salesgirl what scent was the most popular and she said No. 2 so that is what I bought for both me and my sister. She wrapped my sister's in a separate bag with tissue so my gift was ready to go! She also gave us tips on how to burn our candles-first time let them burn for 2-3 hours so they burn evenly and don't "hollow" out. Also cut the wick next time I use. I love my candle, I am burning it now! And my sister loved hers too! Will be back, this store is unique!

I love their displays and the ambience of the store a lot! Always helpful and congenial is the staff! A wide selection of gifts to choose from - nothing I wouldn't like receiving myself! And, best of all - they gift wrap whatever bought beautifully! I am looking forward in visiting it and find that perfect gift for that specific special occasion again soon! Cheers!

I created a registry online for a bridal shower but with limited options online (which I have no problem with), I thought it would be beneficial for me to go in person to add items or at least create a list of recommended items to facilitate the gift-buying process for my guests. When I went into the store, one of the women at the register could not have seemed more displeased or bothered to be helping me. She was irritated that I had created an online registry in the first place and that I was in on a Saturday without an appointment. I reiterated that the intent of my visit was simply to add a few items, not to choose China and table placements (which of course would take much more of their time and attention). Neither women offered to help me (they weren't helping anyone else) but told me to just come back on Monday and to call the girl who is in charge of registries. I left completely amazed at the clear lack of interest to help me (or at least attempt to be nice and apologetic for not being able to help me), the rudeness, and the absolutely poor customer service. Madison has the cutest things (hence why I was going to register there) but unfortunately, because of this experience, will be very hesitant to return.

After losing my mom, dad, and two nieces in the July 4th floods, I went into Paper Affair looking for stationery to send out thank you cards. Cindy immediately showed me kindness, support, and understanding during such a difficult time. She told me about Arzberger Stationers, who generously offered to donate stationery to family members of flood victims. They sent me beautiful cards that were already personalized with my return address, making it simple for me to reach out and express my gratitude to friends and family who supported me. Their thoughtfulness and generosity were truly meaningful, and the gesture made a heavy task feel much more manageable. Cindy and the entire team at both Paper Affair and Arzberger Stationers went above and beyond, showing care and compassion that I will never forget. I am so grateful for them and highly recommend their businesses--not just for their products, but for their hearts.

It's one of those spots that instantly pulls you in with how beautifully it's set up. Everything felt festive, thoughtful, and honestly... kind of magical. If you're into holiday vibes, this place is Christmas on steroids in the best way. They've got tons of unique items, from adorable stocking stuffers to perfectly curated gifts. And if you're a college football fan? You're going to lose your mind -- they had so many cute team-themed items I had to stop myself from overloading the basket. They also customize stationery, and the layout of the store makes you want to stroll every single aisle. Clean, organized, and just flat-out pretty. But the part that stood out most? The service. The staff was incredibly personable and kept checking in without being overbearing. At checkout they asked if I wanted to sign up for the rewards program -- and honestly, it was an easy yes because I already know I'll be back. Great products bring you in, but great service is what gets you returning. Bonus moment: I even helped find a coworker's phone that decided to play hide-and-seek somewhere in the merch. Found it though -- so you're welcome, Dallas. Perfect little local gem. I'll definitely be back.
