We got 3 houston themed coasters (including a torchy's taco one!) and an awesome photography coffee table book. The owner was really nice and wrapped up all our stuff with tissue paper and decorative bow. Also threw in 2 Hershey's kisses. Is that not a cute touch or what! So many cute gifts and classy home decor. Check out the card area too. Ugh I just want to buy literally everything in this store!

We came in late (due to the limited parking) so I missed the name of our instructor but she was friendly and knowledgeable. I believe it's about $55-60 per person and each person gets to make two 7oz candles. Personalized touches Include: scent choice and naming the candle. The scents here are great! It was fun exploring all the different notes and profiles. The class is about an hour and everything is provided. As a "student" you get to melt down your wax, smell/ pick your scents, mix scents, pour wax, mix the candle, add your wick, and label your candle. The process is really fast. The longest part is waiting for your candle to cool down/ dry. We were given an estimate between 3.5-4 hours. So plan your day around the area or come in the following day for pick up. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested. Perfect for solo date, girls night, date night, etc.

Staff is rude. No one spoke to me at all when I walked in the store. But when "others" walked in,…read morethey greeted them quickly. I even had to ask to be checked out when they saw that I was ready to check out. The last time I was there, I noticed the staff was unfriendly but this time was the last straw. The vibe was very off putting and I'm starting to wonder if they only treat melanated people this way. Even though I like the store, I will not be returning. UPDATE: After reading other reviews, I see that what I felt was justified. They do not treat melanated people well. If you only want a certain demographic of people shopping in your store, then just say that. I will be sure to spread the news because apparently people have been complaining for over 6 years and you still haven't changed. Just put a sign on the door and be done with it.

My friend saw PaddyWax on Tiktok and wanted to go! We booked online which was an easy process and…read moreeven was able to use a Discount Code! The class is self-guided. You are given written instruction you read through step by step. The scents are already mixed, you just chose the one you want your candle to smell like. Overall, fun experience but I wasn't expecting it to be so short. I wish you could create your own scents. I wouldn't return for that reason but happy for the experience.

They have a very laid out, step-by-step process that makes everything a breeze. Each set up has a little flip book of instructions as you go along, and you get different parameters depending on the vessel you chose. Surprisingly easy and quite fun. They also said they will do a $10 refill of your fragrance when you use it up. Such a fun idea!

Because it's actually cheaper than the big H for some things, and even when it's the same price as H or a little more expensive, there's a lovely element that you are keeping your money within the Houston Community, which is why we like to come here when we need Hallmark card stuff, instead of going to Hallmark.

This store is where I can go crazy on buying tons of random cute items. They have ridiculously soft and cute plushies of various sizes, novelty socks, candles, cups, puzzles, holiday decor, general home decor, figurines, gift-wrapping paper, and more! I visited in January and the post-holiday sales were superb. I'm talking 50-75% off all holiday items. The sales associates were great - there to answer questions and help when needed, but not pushy or in your face. I walked away with several bags of goodies. What an entertaining day of window-shopping turned real shopping.
