Had a memorable and great time in this shop. I am from South Florida and was spending some time in…read moreHouston. There were several shops in the vicinity but this one stood out. I've never been to a place where I wanted at least one of everything. The best part was how nicely wrapped each item was as part of the service when checking out. The store clerk took great care to show the value. The gentleman running the shop was a pleasure. I truly enjoyed the experience. Even gave a chocolate Hersheys kiss in a small bag along with the stores business card. This is customer service at its finest. I would want my operation running as nicely as this beautiful shop. Truly unique items with a variety of sections. Great for gifts.....and splurging on some self items. I saved the receipt purposely to write a review. It took me some time as I visited in September but have thought of the place over a dozen times since visiting. I do not write reviews often but this place deserves a hands down praise. The cashiers name on the receipt is Sysadmin so I am not sure how to thank the amazing clerk. 9/24/24 11:59 AM. I wish they had a shop like this near me. Pleased to see that I can order online! I will never forget this place, forever burned in my memory. If I am ever back in Houston, I will be back at Bliss on 19th! J. Chapter

We had a great time celebrating Mother's Day here at The Candle Bar! This was our first time making…read moreour own candles and we couldn't have asked for a batter instructor. 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.

I associate…read moreHallmark with fun romcoms and greeting cards for special occasions, but this Hallmark store was so much more. 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.
