I've been twice now and loved both experiences! The first time was for an event and we got an…read moreabbreviated version of the full candle process but still really enjoyed it! 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!

My sister and I had a fun birthday weekend that included making our own candles at Sable Candle Co…read more It was easy to book, easy to find, and easy to enjoy! Both of us brought our own vessel to use (we had also done some thrifting), but there were several options in-store as well. The team at Sable did a great job explaining the process to us and overseeing our steps. They were not at all rushed, so we had a fun, relaxing time choosing our scents, mixing our oils, coming up with fun names for our creations, and chatting and catching up with each other. The two of us chose very different fall scents, and we both were so happy with our finished products! We will definitely be back to create a new treasure in the spring!

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 ;)

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 get compliments on it consistently and I love love love that I can still smell it at the end of the day with only one spray. The store itself is so beautiful and I love seeing the ways that they have been able to grow over time. This is a spot I love taking out of town friends to or buying gifts from. The staff are always helpful and make themselves available without hovering while you take your time checking everything out. There are so many things to check out and it's so helpful that there are samples out for just about everything so you can feel confident in your purchase. Could not recommend them any more highly! Also LOVE that it's a LGBTQ+ owned and local business!

It is a little potent with scents when you walk in but that's because they are known for their products. There were just so many amazing scented perfumes and lotions and we found out that you can make your own scents. I definitely want to come back for an experience here sometime and customize my own perfume.

The hardest part was picking just a few things! They have quite a variety of things from of course cards/envelopes, gift boxes/bags, toys, candy, etc. When checking out, the lady who was ringing me up me got me right with using my coupons and the promotion they had going on in the store. Loved that I was able to find what I needed and saved some money! I've always passed this store in the mall since I never had a reason to go in but I'm glad I stopped in!

I find a couple of perfect gifts here, although I did notice when I got home that the headlamp part of the headlamp beanie I bought as a gift wasn't working. It's going to be inconvenient to bring it back to exchange it since I'm not in Plainwell often.

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

I wouldn't normally write a review for a big box store but The Rack is different. The Rack is…read morespecial. It's about a million steps up in style from the other guys in the value store playing field and has great prices for the brands they offer. Example: I paid $62.00 for a pair of J Brand jeans. Although higher than what I usually pay, this is an extremely good deal by J Brand standards. And I can't tell you how many times I've gotten complements on other Rack outfits. I'm a size 10 in shoes and usually it's all the left over, ugo shoes in my size. Not so at The Rack. They actually cater to larger size feet. I have to restrain myself from buying 3 pairs of shoes at a time 'cause they have so many cute styles. In addition to clothes and shoes, they have a good, rotating selection of workout clothes, coats, and jewelry. They organize by styles, prices, colors, and seasons so you can find what you want. To make it convenient for shoppers, they have little check out stations around the store. If you are paying with a credit card they will just swipe it at one of these stations so you don't have to wait in the longer line. Spoiler alert: not everything in Nordstrom Rack was actually carried in the real Nordstrom. I read that somewhere and was somewhat disappointed. However, much of it is, or else the brands themselves are carried in the Big Brother store and the Rack gets some of the off items/colors from those same brands.

Not denying anyone service? That's a load of malarkey. For those who are UNABLE to wear a mask, you…read morecertainly are refusing service. If one orders online and has to return an item, how is that item handled based on the fact that one was unlikely wearing a mask at home while trying it on? Do parasites or communicable diseases not count at home?, and what if a client had covid? You'd never know so how absolutely ridiculous your statement is. And 'extending this expectation to clients' again is a load of malarkey. That's a roundabout way of communism at play. 'Do it our way or you will be denied service' Perhaps you should review CDC recommendations again. Heir Fauci has stated from his own mouth that masks do nothing but placate the wearer. Ummm, yeah. Anyone who has a lick of common sense can figure this was a scam. Too bad for you Nordstrom Rack, you've lost a bunch of customers because of your politically correct/woke policies. I find it very telling that your stores, at least the last two I saw, were low in stock of most items. The stores seemed bare. Maybe it's a sign that the silent majority is done with your BS
