10/10 Experience - We did the candle making class for Valentines Day. For each candle making…read moresession you're guided throughout the entire process. After you check in at the register, they offer a complementary glass of Rosé or Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Juice. (You also have the option the bring your own bottle of wine) Afterwards, they show you the wall of vessels you'll make your candle in and a quick backstory about them and their multi-functional purpose. Then, they show you to the fragrance wall to smell and choose your scent. Then, they bring you back to the table to guide you through making your candle step by step. Once you start it goes by very quickly and next thing you know you're done! Takes about 3hrs for the candle to set and they let us know when your candle is finished. You can come back and they'll refill it for $10 with the same scent or a different scent. The class itself is $40 per person but a detailed guided experience, multiple vessel options, multiple fragrance options, and a pretty quick turnaround is well worth it!

Really enjoyed it. I would have liked to see oils separate like eucalyptus and lemongrass so I…read morecould pick what I like. Maybe a fresh linen or ocean sent. But enjoyed the whole experience. G rest idea would be a discount coupon to a local restaurant as you have to wait 3 hours to get your candle back. Loved that you can do a wood wick for sure. I would do it again

Booked their "Lovely February Candle Class" in Blakeney…read more The instructor, Michael, was friendly, helpful, and patient. During the class you'll be able to pick your vessel and choose up to 3 scents for the candle. Choosing the scents was definitely the most tedious/time consuming part especially when trying to mix scents. After mixing the hot wax with the selected scent and pouring into the vessel, it needs to sit ~ 2 hours. Perfect opportunity to walk around the Blakeney Shopping center! They'll also hold the candles so you can pick-up at a later date. Items in the store were 10% off while there for the class. A glass of mimosa was included as well! The class was an hour long and cost $47.00. Would recommend!

I loved smelling the scents and combining them to make my own candle. $45 is the cost and the quality candle is excellent. It took us about an hour and we had a reservation. We left the candles to cool and had lunch and then picked them up later on the same day. Awesome experience for friends! The instructor was nice and helpful.

For those of you into candles, you MUST go to Blacklion in Charlotte and find McCalls Candles. They…read moreare amazing!!! I love scented candles and am always looking to try new scents. These candles are truly awesome - they have great scents such as Apple Spice, Autumn Leaves, Pumpkin Spice, Banana Nut, and my of-the-moment favorite, Campfire Marshmallows - our whole place reeks like this candle, and we LOVE it!! Try this company out and take a while to sniff around and see what your nose enjoys, and then get ready to experience a great candle. A 16 oz. jar will set you back about $24, and you will get 110-130 hours of burn time. Happy sniffing!

I am a huge fan of McCall's candles. I was first given one about six years ago, the Campfire…read moreMarshmallows scent, and I fell in love with the smell and the adorable way the candles are packaged with old fashioned labels and metal tops with metal handles. Since then I have ordered online from then a couple of times every year and some of my favorite scents are the following: Blue Ribbon Banana Raisin Cream Apple Butter State Farm Caramel Apples Sunrise Cinnamon Bun Banana Nut Bread These candles make great gifts because it is rare to find them in stores and not many people I know are familiar with them. It would be great if more Chicago gift stores started to carry this brand because I can't say enough good things about them.

This is a cute boutique!!!…read more The vibes are very artsy, personable and stylish. The music selection playing in the background is very chill. There's artwork throughout the store, women's clothing can be found on the middle racks, handbags and accessories are all around. The style is professional and sexy, for the grown woman! Cheers to fashion! Finding this place can be tricky but it's located in the brick building before T-Mobile. Parking is limited but rest assured, it's worth the visit. Found out that the nice couple that runs this place also does interior design.

I dropped off my gifts and labeled who they were for, picked from a wide variety of beautiful (and very high quality) papers and ribbons, then a few hours later Natasha texted me with the attached pictures letting me know my gifts were ready for pickup.
