I loved the scent blends they provided for us. The staff is super helpful and made the whole thing super fun! The most recent visit was on valentines for a date night. They were busy but we still felt like the staff was attentive and walked us through the full process. This is a luxury experience but you get both the time making candles together plus the candles, so I'd say it's worth the money. There's tons of scents and vessels to choose from and we had a blast picking and making them. Anyone with any level of "craftiness" would enjoy coming here!

What a fun and unique date. I reserved a spot online and our table was ready for us when we walked…read morein. The staff quickly explained how everything worked and let us do everything ourselves. I picked a base for my candle and my wife had hers turned into wax melts. They have tons of bases to pick from in all different sizes. They had so many different scents that it's honestly overwhelming. We eventually each picked a variety of scents to blend together and made our wax. The entire date didn't take very long but luckily there are tons of places to go after within walking distance. You have to come back a different day to pick up what you made once it turns into a candle!

I bought their mint chapstick and the rosemary lavender wood-wick candle. I use both and am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend this shop. P.S. They also have cute airplants and airplant holders that were calling my name when I saw them. Maybe later ;)

My sister and I were on a hunt for Christmas gifts when we stopped by Sable Candle. We both loved…read morehow minimalistic the interior of the shop was. We also loved the variety of candles they offered. Not only do they offer candles, but they also had tea towels as well as other items. One of my favorite things we purchased was a candle kit for two (they also had a candle making kit for four!). It's a great kit for a cute little date night or a fun day with friends! You also get to choose the scents for the candles as well. What's also great about Sable Candle is that you can drop off your candle containers (or any container) for a refill. You can also send your container in to be refilled by mail if you're out of state! I'll definitely be back for more candles!

I'm hoping these are an alternative to the company that I already buy from. Will not mention here as this is not about them. Since I have issues with artificial scents it was great getting something new that doesn't make me cough or SOB. They include a care card so you get the most out of your candles

I think I could buy the whole store!…read more I don't live in Rockford but stumbled across this gem before having an appointment at 'A Charmed Life'. Having a small time frame to work with definitely saved my bank account from completely unloading into the store. Seriously, such cute things. They have a lot of great local artists showcasing their work with a lot of Michigan-themed items. The store is full of fun items to decorate with as well as a unique gift to give a friend. Definitely, give yourself some time to browse around in the store because there is a lot to see and take in! The store isn't all that big but everything is styled and displayed in such a way that it all just seems to go together, you may miss a gem if you just give an area a quick look! They seemed to get new things pretty frequently so feel free to come back often and you'll always find something new! Also, the ladies in there have always been super nice to me when I am there and are very helpful!

By the end of it, we all had something to be proud of... and picked up a new hobby. They gave us wine and snacks during our time, and really let us use the space to our needs. The photo is a picture of the process. The gifts shop is so cute and cheeky! I liked hearing how involved they are with the vendors they order from - very cool spot to check out. Great place to buy a little gift for a friend or coworker.

I was able to park right outside the entrance, with metered street parking. They have been hosting small businesses to do popups and the day I went was to visit a friend who runs a micro-bakery called Smorris Desserts. It was easy to support a small business who also pours back into other local small businesses and the community. There are so many cute things and also other small artists and creators hosted in the store as well such as Atelier Celeste which is one of my favorite local ceramics artists. I bought a super cute necklace from their jewelry/build your own charm bar near the registers. They had a mix of gold AND SILVER which was really nice since so many places I go to often only sell gold. I also got a cute bag charm for my purse. The prices were honestly really reasonable especially for a small local business. I think if you're able, I would try to get gifts here for friends, parties, etc. The staff is also super great. Lindsay is one of the people who I often see there and they are the coolest, kindest, and most knowledgeable people about the are. They are able to give really great recommendations for things in store and also gave me a local business recommendation for something they didn't carry. Tip: spread out your gift purchases, especially for christmastime, throughout the year! It's easier on your budget to do small things at once and it feels so nice at the end of the year to realize you already did all the hard work!

I came here as a tourist from out of town, found a mass produced book and pulled out my phone to…read morewrite the book name down. The reality was, I couldn't travel with the book because it was too large and heavy to add into my luggage. The person who I ASSUME is the owner came over and immediately raised his voice and started calling me names. Saying I'm being shitty and I shouldn't "do that to a small business." I tried to explain why I was doing what I was doing and he made sure to tell me he didn't care. Not that this person will change how they operate but all he had to do was be like "hey do you mind?" And I would have pulled my head out of my ass and been understanding. However! Raising your voice and approaching anyone in that manner is deeply shitty and clearly an attempt at humiliating me. I'm not here to argue that I was in the right, I was just too busy thinking about myself and how I was bummed I couldn't travel with the book. Anyway can't wait to receive that book from literally anywhere else but this shop

If you have any time to kill before a concert, it's a third Thursday, or you're just wanting to browse, this is definitely the place for you. The store specializes in cute fun gifts and trinkets. They have everything from cookbooks to baby toys to stickers. There are gifts for almost every age and demographic. There are often goods from local artists and creatives which is really nice. One of my favorite features is the monthly art locker. For a one-time cost, you get a physical key with access to a locker with monthly goodies! The staff may be some of the kindest I've met. You can always talk about your day or learn about what's been going on downtown. There is a shop cat named Yuki who is soooooo cute and is my personal "where's waldo" whenever I'm in the store. Their marketing and promotions are really fun and the videos often make me laugh. They offer some free and paid events, making it a nice place to meet new people and engage in creativity. One of these days I need to make their cloud workshop!
