I personally contacted Rockport Candle via email a few weeks ago to inquire for a private DIY…read morecandle making with my group of 8 women as a "pre wedding weekend" bachelorette event, and it was a wonderful hit! They were incredibly accommodating on my dates, and were very responsive over email! Day of the event, we had arrived 10 minutes late due to traffic but they were gracious and happily waiting for us! They gave us a great rundown on how to choose our scents, and we had a wonderful time creating and naming our own candles! They laughed along with our chaos that 8 ladies bring, and I 10/10 recommend heading over to Rockport Candle Co when you're in town, and DEF recommend booking a private event with them!!!

What a fun little shop filled with so many delicious smelling handcrafted soy wax candles,…read moreroom/linen sprays, soaps, bath salt crystals, wax melts and many other items too! After a bit of time smelling candles one by one, I selected "Cocktails By The Sea" it smells like a delicious mojito cocktail, with notes of freshly muddled mint, pineapple, sugar, and rum!!! I also had to purchase one of the room/linen sprays in "Sea Lavender" Soooo amazing!

Came through on a Thursday with my friend and we were doing some window shopping upon seeing a sign…read moreadvertising beeswax goodies. The second part that caught my eye was the beautiful hive! Nice to see the lil bees do their thing. There's a variety of unique beeswax candles with incredible designs. My eyes landed on some chapstick and I constantly need lip balm at work from the dry air in the lab. After smelling the unique scents, I went with the classically calming lavender! Now every time I swipe my lips at work, I think of the fond memories made in Salem including seeing this gem of a store! Keeps my lips nicely moisturized and soothing with the scent.

Interesting shop with a live bee exhibit. They primarily sell beeswax candles but also offer other…read morebee sourced products. The beehive is located as you enter the shop. Bees are constantly coming and going through a clear pipe entrance outside. The owner was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered our questions. They had a few rare preserved insects such as a murder hornet for sale in a small glass case.

Filled with candles of any kind and every flavor, sea treasures small and large, souvenirs and other wonderful finds. There is little something here for everyone. Knobby starfishes, scented sparkling candles and dragonfly decorations are now filling up my room. Absolutely must shop if you are in the area.

The store is a little dark but easy enough to see around. The girl at the front with the pink hair wasn't exactly the most friendly - greetings and farewells to customers must not be her forte.

You cant miss it, just look for the bright pink eye in the window overlooking the water. They also have FREE PARKING! Which is something that you just cannot find in Salem. This shop is in a cute historical building, offers in house hand made candles that smell amazing! They have other hand made items from local artists as well as tarot cards, crystals, herbs, incense, etc. They offer tarot readings, and I must add that Sarah is a amazing! They have a few different walking tours, and classes! The classes are taught by a Rev of the Cabot tradition of witchcraft. This shop is a must visit! The energy and people in this shop is amazing!

A lovely Metaphysical shop located in a historic house in Salem. We stumbled upon it because it…read morelooked like a witch's house from the outside. There were candles, crystals, tarot cards, incense, jewelry, and more. I like that they had a table you can write a note to the deceased and put it in a bowl for it to be sent out, spiritually. It wasn't overly busy and it's near the water. Overall, a cute shop and worth a visit!

Anytime I went to Salem on my always enjoyed coming in here. I was back here in May and I was…read moretotally disappointed with what the store was like then and it seems to be continuing. They have an entire wall of Christmas village and Halloween village stuff which they don't even bother to plug in or turn on for tourist to see. If you want us to buy your merchandise, we need to see it work and it's just nice altogether to have that on display. The stuff that they get in the store is not interesting. It's the regular run-of-the-mill tourist gifts that you see in a lot of these stores. I understand their needs to be Salem merchandise, but it would be nice to see other funny little things in that store like they used to before. Again, I don't know if it's under due management or it might be going out of business which would make sense why nothing is lit up or on display, but it was very underwhelming and disappointing to see this twice this year in this condition.

They carry my favorite soap! Naked Bee- that is an automatic win! Plus the lady behind the counter…read morewas super friendly on our cold and rainy October morning. It was early enough that not all the shops were open and there wasn't many people out yet. Brief moments of going into shops with barely anyone else. It was so nice to wander the aisles of this packed store! Plenty of things I wanted to get- especially the witch hat headbands for my nieces.

I have been coming to this store for years, when they were in their first location in the North…read moreEnd. I even schlepped my ass to Brookline when they briefly moved there. Thankfully, they're back in a different area of the North End, still doing their thing of sustainable products. Maria (owner) & her staff + interns are amazingly friendly & helpful! There are probably eco-friendly things here you didn't even know you needed. It's great to be able to bring my empty glass jars or use theirs to get your refills. It's a simple & easy way to get whatever items you need, like body lotion, detergent, & other products. They also have an abundance of plants which is pretty cool. They even do a clothing swap & other events too, so you have to follow them to know when they're happening. The issue is that they're not always open when they're supposed to be which is unfortunate.

These fearless young women are making a sincere effort to challenge the way we live, to strive for…read moremore sustainable practices and to clear the path for the rest of us to make sustainable choices more easily too. I've tried ordering eco products online before and it's been hit or miss. I'm happy to have found a place where I can see things in real life before buying them and make sure they are durable and sized correctly for my needs, even try a toothpaste tablet from the sample container, and talk to real life people who have tried the products so I can find out what makeup remover to use with the bamboo pads and whether shampoo and conditioner bars will have a different feel than the liquid stuff. More bonuses: they are walking distance from the orange line, they said I can bring back empty containers and buy refills, and their plant nursery section is nice. They are a bit pricey, as should be expected with ethically sourced products, not to mention storefronts that pay rent in the North End. Most of what I bought will hopefully last long enough to more than pay for itself. I'll be back!
