The Apple Pie candle smells just like an apple pie BEFORE its baked - fresh and sweet. Mind blowing, I know. Not only are the candles great (and reasonably priced I may add), but there are a variety of other local items as well - jewelry, candle holders, etc... If you are looking for a unique gift, this would be a great place to stop. Not only can you shop for all ready made candles, but if you like to do a bit of creating yourself, you can get the supplies, even rent supplies as well as take classes of have a party at Karner Blue. Highly highly recommend stopping in!

I saw Facebook friends posting about a return of the classic scents of our teen years available for a limited time. Interest piqued by their excitement (how much DID I enjoy Juniper Breeze?) I went in. Alas, Juniper Breeze was gone three days after the throwback debut, minus a couple bottles of lotion - which I dutifully picked up. Along with six bottles of other scents. While the local store likely isn't setting the sales, the 75% off promotion the sales associate pointed out did lead me to buy more than I intended. While I call Bath & Body Works overpriced on the regular for my budget and for the products longevity, $3.50 a bottle or tube is A-OK. Both sales associate's that offered their assistance were super friendly. Enough that I suspect there is some sort of commission based or team shift based incentive going on for them. But they weren't competitive with each other nor were they pushy or fake nice. Just offering to help me find that Juniper Breeze, suggesting alternatives in its place, making sure I had a bag, checking in after I'd made a lap, and anticipating my timing at the cash register, The girls working at West Towne in the afternoon's the past couple weeks represent the brand well! I'll be back this month to use the free item with $10 purchase coupon that was in my bag. And trying desperately to stick to the $10 total! #thestruggleisreal

We really appreciated that she thoroughly explained the process, but made it relaxing and let us work at our own pace! When you are making your candles you can choose from a variety of scents. You are then instructed to make 3 different scent options. Your nose will tell you which one you like best! She was then so helpful to get the wax melted for us and we poured our own candles. It takes about an hour for them to set once poured. However, Bri, was more than ok with us continuing to walk around Main st while the candles set. One tip we thought was awesome was, she held onto our "scent recipes" and once our creations burn out we can always reach back out to have more of our scent creations created. This would be the perfect activity for a weekend with friends, a bachelorette party, or just a cute activity with your someone special!

Eric was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient in helping us create the perfect candle scent, the French way. Be aware that candies need some setting up time before taking them home. I recommend starting your Galena trip here and then go have lunch and/or a stroll in the city before returning to pick up the lovely packaged candle and/or perfume! I really enjoyed hearing the French music in the background as it helped create the perfect atmosphere. This is a great place to gather, have some fun together and create wonderful memories with a souvenir to take home! I highly recommend this place!
