They allow you to take your time & smell each candle & really try to find your favorite scent. After that, they seat you at a table & explain how to fill the little container with oils until you find the right scent for you. The experience is included with the price of the candle jar you choose. They range from 20$ all the way up to around 60$ depending on the size! It was worth it. I will come back with more friends!

I absolutely love this store from the variety of candle scents to the variety of home decor. I could literally spend so much time (and money) in this store. They already have fall scents ( yes it's mid August but I'm definitely a fall girl!) Today I bought the Apple Tart. They also have a selection of local favorites, which I bought Brookside Bungalow which is a very fresh, clean, relaxing scent. The store will be celebrating their 20th anniversary on Sept 23.... A dozen votive candles for $36 (usually $42.50). Tip -The container of Brookside Bungalow can be brought back and refilled for $2/oz with any of the scents they are filling that month. You can actually bring in any container as long as it holds water.

Lori is a dedicated and passionate owner that has a keen sense of what works together. The shop carries over 170 different scents which means there is literally something for everyone there. They don't have just have candles but wax melts, home décor, oils, and a variety of candle sizes. Lori was a guest on my podcast, Kansas City Confidential, where she shared all about the process of making their products and some of her favorite scents. We talked about how scents are like personalities and how everyone has a scent that fits their personality. Lori and her team are awesome and so hopeful to their customers. I cannot recommend this business enough and hope next time someone wants to buy a candle whether it be for their own use or for a gift that they shop at The Corner Candle Shop!

They always do a nice job, the flowers are fresh and look as advertised, and the best part? This is a local business. I will say they aren't cheap, but with the end result being consistently good I do think it's worth it and they deliver pretty much anywhere in the metro which I think is really great considering that we have such a big area. I've delivered as far north as the Northland and as far south as 172nd street and they've been on time and done a nice job. I'll be back!

This is one of Kansas City's best success stories…read more A woman had a job, but she liked making candles, so the made it her new job. Next step: world domination - maybe. Anyway - Birdie, the owner, lives a life of passion and conviction, which she pours into her craft. You can see it in her candles and you can definitely see it in the studio. The candles - which are available in a variety of scents - come with a clever name and backstory. Light and citrusy scents - they're there. Wood and leather - oh yeah. Vanilla - now we're talking. At the time of this writing - the business announced it is temporarily closing its studio to customers, so it can focus on online orders. Good for them. If you're in the Kansas City area - you can find their candles in local stores and boutiques. If you're out of town or just a local person who doesn't want to be social - you can order directly through the Effing Candles website.

A quick scramble with Siri lead me to to Trapp and Co where I met Sarah. She was quick to understand both my predicament and help me create an arrangement that was FAR superior to my original one (for a heck of a lot less than I paid another florist). Valentine's Day can often mean a dozen roses and a box of chocolates. At 5:45 PM though, Sarah took the time to ask me about the type of arrangement I would ideally want and crafted this amazing piece. I loved it, my valentine loved it, and we both catch ourselves smiling each time we move past it. Thank you for all your help and we look forward to shopping with you again soon!
