Yankee Candle, of course. The staff greets you, they ask if you need help, they're there if you have a question. Very professional and congenial. The stars of show are the scented candles, diffusers, and candelabras. What I like is that the description on the label is what the candle smells like! No vague or bizarre description that makes no sense. When you open the lid on the jar the aroma envelops your nose and it smells exactly like what on the label. Granted, it's a little more expensive than what you might find in a big box store, or discount place, but you get what you pay for; a quality product at a relatively inexpensive price. Especially when they have it on sale, certain times of the year. There are candle holders and candelabras of various designs; something every taste.

THIS STORE MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more From the moment you walk in, there's nothing like this feeling. Something about going into a stationary, art supply, craft store that really fills you. This is the kind of place that gets you inspired. Inspired to create, junk journal, write, get creative and feel alive. From fun stickers to special occasion cards, cool journals to the very coolest Japanese pens, cute decor to sticky notes, everything you can dream of is inside of Zakka Joy. I heard a little girl that was there with her parents say: "mommy I know why this store is called Zakka Joy, because it makes you happy!". She's 100% right, this store is pure happiness.

If you're a plant lover or just want to buy some flowers for a friend or loved one this is the spot to go to. They do custom arrangements for you and you can pick what you would like from their little selection. Also, make sure to choose them for your wedding bouquets and arrangements. They take care of that too! Succulents, airplants and more are also there for you to take home. They even sell the little hanging glass bulbs for you to customize your succulent arrangements. Love this little place and all it's flower power!

I called ahead to make sure the shop was open, and that I wouldn't be interrupting an appointment and was told by the owner Sienna to come down and she'd help me with the gift. The shop is beautiful from bottom to top. Lots of plants and you immediately feel welcome. Metaphysical practices, reiki, stones, readings, these are all interesting things to me but by no means something I have a knowledge of. Sienna was incredible accommodating and helpful putting together a perfect group of stones and crystals for my wife's friend and even throwing in some free incense and other items. All of this is great, but it was what happened at checking out that really made me want to write a review and hope it helps her business, especially since I don't really use yelp much anymore, I'd rather only write positive reviews for great experiences than anything else. At checkout I noticed a plant I used to have. Sort of a creeping vine leafed plant. My toddler poured a ton of juice in it and unfortunately it died. Without even saying anything else after identifying it for me which I have already unfortunately forgot, but I'll make a point to look it up through a photo later, she cut a clipping and gifted it to me in a small glass with water completely free of charge. This was a small gesture, but it meant a lot. The plant that I previously had that died was my mothers, who was killed 6 years ago now. So even though she was unaware of that, the gesture was very meaningful to me. If I ever need anything from this shop, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here, or refer a friend in need. An amazing place.

But, now a lot of stores are selling "made in china" mass produced wares like you might find at the Hallmark Store.
