They also have a variety of…read moreother items like crystals, candles, sage, artwork, etc. The decks I have purchased there generally range from $20-$25.

This review had been updated…read more July 11th, 2024, I had visited this location. They had a wide variety of stones and crystals including song/singing bowls and books. The two key items purchased: I had purchased what is one of, to date, my favorite spheres that I own. I own over a dozen. (A flawless Flower Agate Sphere, I cannot express or put into words how stunning it is, truly, it is beautiful) and the second is a remarkable Moss Agate Tower and it is MASSIVE ‐ it could have it's own gravitational pull, it emits thick and healthy energy and is damn near perfect.) From my observation, all of the stones were high quality. As someone who has been in the spiritual & stone/crystals business since 2013, I can say I've had my fair dealings with stores that sell crystals and stones and I can spot a "fake shop" a mile away, this place is legit. I can say with confidence, I didn't question or have doubts about anything they had available. If you're ever in this location, visit. The owner, cares about their customers experiences. There were two people working, one welcomed when entering, however the other had more of a "I'd rather not be here" vibe - my facial expressions are subtitles so I understand lol. We are human. After hearing from the owner, it changed my mind entirely which is why I am correcting this review. They contacted me regarding my review within 24 hours. As a business owner, I respect that. When a business owner is that attentive, they don't let incidents slip. Which makes me believe I made the mistake and misunderstood. With that being said, again, if you're ever in this area, check this place out. You could very well leave with something that could be the center piece of your collection or the perfect gift for a loved one. Even if that loved one just so happens to be you and you loved it so much you couldn't leave without it.. so.... yep.... I've been that loved one a few times.

It seems this is the only flower game in town. Friendly, helpful service and some cute vase and…read moreglassware options. They have a limited supply of fresh stems in their cooler, if you are wanting to build a bouquet as we were. The worker was incredibly patient as we looked around to see what we wanted to snag. The issue with it being the only flower shop nearby? Holy moly, the prices were high. My sister was with me and owns a floral truck in San Fran...the land of mega inflation. She said that flowers were 50-75% more here than what she pays per stem at home. Between the limited options and the prices, we build a small (but beautiful) bouquet, which they put in a wet wrapping and placed upright in a box for us. We spent $70 for the pictured flowers and later added wild flowers from home to fill it out a bit more.

Do some gift shopping here! They have an online shop you can always use, but it's way more fun to…read morecome in when they're open. The most obvious reason is that of course you want to smell what you're getting. But also I just love the whole ambiance when all the studios at the Northrup King building open up to let you wander around. And acutally, a really cool thing to do is save your used containers and bring them back, and they will sell you a replacement candle of the same size for half off! These are very thoughtfully crafted candles, with unique scents that I have gotten compliments on from my houseguests. They have new creations each time I come in, and they have different styles depending on your preferences. Some I've liked much more than I expected, like Tomato Garden, I've been stocking up on that scent, very pleasant! Check their socials for when they're open, but I think the normal thing is on Saturdays from 9-4 and on the first Thursday evening of each month.

I had an awesome time learning the art of candle making with owner Heidi! She is a rockstar and is…read moreso freaking talented. Her story is very inspiring and I love how she's passionately sharing her talents with others. All of her candles are environmentally friendly and she also offers a candle exchange program that promotes healthy and sustainable choices for avid candle users who wish to recycle. Excelsior Candle Co is perfect for a date night, gathering with family or friends, or anyone that's interested in making their own candles with a guide. Her sessions are also very reasonably priced and are of great value. I think my favorite scent of all time was made by Heidi and it's her Guilt Free Egg Nog candle.... Thanks to her, every room in my home is warmly scented and I couldn't be more happy! FYI- They are inside Northrup King Building - Floor 2, Studio 206

I just can't spend too much time in here cuz I get a migraine headache because of all the scents. It just doesn't make scents.

So happy to have found this hidden gem in Stillwater! I booked a "pour your own" candle class for a…read moregroup of friends for our girls night out and absolutely fell in love this store! The place itself has such a unique and dark, yet luxe atmosphere with a touch of goth aesthetic. I was slightly worried the smell would be overwhelming since one of my friends is sensitive to scents but as soon as you walk in you are pleasantly enveloped with a most enjoyable and comforting smell without it being overbearing! Plus, not only are their candles toxic free, but hand-poured and formulated with high end luxury oils blended into a 100% natural soy wax blend for clean burning. I also love that they have an awesome recycling/discount program to reduce their footprint. Its refreshing to see a company with such high values and truly consider their work as a passionate art form rather than just another tourist shop in this charming historic town. Our group was given time to peruse the retail portion of the store before our class started which includes not only candles, but one of a kind items and gifts (even from some of my favorite brands that are usually harder to find in stores!) including Spitfire Girl, Sugar Boo and P.F. Candles. We received a discount for doing the class also! Booking the workshop online was quite simple and very convenient as it assured our spots (they do accept walk ins but spaces seemed to fill quickly so I am happy I made reservations) I also like their flexibility as I was able to book the basic package with the option for everyone to make their own upgrades separately if desired. The workshop space was a whole upper level floor in a historic brick building (circa 1800s) designated just for the candle making. It was spacious with two huge tables to accommodate up to a group of 16 people! The large windows overlooking the towns main street was also a bonus. We were able to sit where we liked and each spot had a cute tray set up that included all the supplies we needed to make our candle. There was a beautiful variety of vessels show cased and easy to select from with pricing clearly labeled. There was also wax station and a scent station that offered an incredible selection of pre blended scents each of which were carefully curated by the owner and kept unnamed as to enhance our scent experience with our memory, making us reminisce on what each reminded us of. Overall, the entire process was truly hands on and the instructor was super personable and made the detailed process seem so effortless. It was so fun to collaborate and guess what smells we could decipher in each blend- and the instructor knew exactly what was included in each in case we couldn't figure it out! We were also able to mix the scents if we wanted making it feel like a fun mad scientist experiment! This is something totally unique that none of us had done before and they even served wine and beer to accompany the class so it felt very intimate and classy. We did an evening class so we were able to pick up our candles the next day-we were glad because we went out to dinner after and didn't want to have to carry them around with us. The instructor also gave us an insider tip to a hidden speak easy bar that was just so magical and mysterious that we would never have otherwise known about! Definitely will be back as I think this would make the cutest date night!
