I had never heard of Sea Love until I saw an advertisement on Facebook for a Psych trivia night. As…read morea "psych-o" (a Psych fan), I was all in! It was not a trivia night like I was used to, but it was awesome! It was more of a candle making session 3 rounds of Psych trivia questions. They had themed mocktails and a made themed candle! It was so fun! The candle making process was SO much fun too! They get you set up with an apron and then show you how to mix and match scents that you might want. There are over 100 different scents to choose from! You also get to choose which size/color your candle jar you want. The pricing goes by the size of the candle, with the small ones starting around $38. After you choose your scents and jar, you go to your seat and then they instruct you on pouring the right amount of oil(s) for the size candle you are making. As you pour your oil until you get it to the right blend that you want, you stir the oil in the little measuring cup. After that, they help you with attaching the wick in the bottom of the jar. After that, you get some time to name your candle, make your label for it, and put the scent mixture label on the bottom. The last step is pouring in the oils and the hot wax! They give you a beaker of the hot wax depending on the size jar of your candle. You pour your oils in first and the hot wax on top. You then mix the wax and oils until they are well blended. After that happens, they give you a pair of "chopsticks" to put around your wick to keep it standing up while it curates. It takes 2 hours to curate. If you don't have the 2 hours, you can come back another day to pick it up. This was such a cool experience! I want to do a girls night out with it! In addition to this, the staff was AMAZING! Lily was super crazy helpful. She ran the trivia night. I won the trivia night in the time slot I was at. The prize was a wax melt and some popcorn. I ended up purchasing some other things to bring home!

They have two counters where you can make your own candle scent. It is so fun!!!! You tell them six scents you like and pick a container. They all cost about $25 for a medium sized candle. Then mix away. The counter hosts offer support during the whole process. Wax is poured and you label. Two hours later you can return to pick up the set candle. My kid mixed mango, orange and lavender- I am shocked by the amazing scent!!!! It's FIRE!!!! Party space is available and they sell a variety of personal items or premade candles also. GREAT fun family or girls outting.

I have definitely never had this bad of an experience at a competitor's store either (White Barn // Hallmark). This store is the size of a closet but holds as many candles as a large location, which immediately gave us both a migraine. Additionally, while this wasn't a big issue for us, CLUMSY and CLAUSTROPHOBIC PEOPLE : BEWARE : with how much product there is in the store, there is not much moving room making it easy to knock things down. Additionally, with everything being so close together, it would be really easy to get claustrophobic. Suggestion for improvement: Make this a "specialty" location where only the premier, exclusive, or "top" items are sold.

Yankee Candle is a household name. They have really done a fantastic job of branding themselves as…read morethe GO to candle for every fragrance. What I sometimes despise about big companies like this is that their fame comes from good marketing and brand strategy. But not with Yankee. These candles are LEGIT and the highest quality I have ever found. They burn longer, and stronger that any other candle I have ever had and that is ultimately what keeps me coming back and why I don't mind dropping a few bucks on these puppies. I guess I consider myself a candle connoisseur. Its calming and relaxing to me. I love their herb candles as it provides a sort of stress relief. Some other favorites: Lemon Lavender, Buttercream, Honeydew Melon, and Sage & Citrus. They pretty much have every scent you could ever want: http://www.yankeecandle.com/includes/browse/shopByFragrance.jsp and as you walk down the line at the store smelling the lids, you feel intoxicated and overwhelmed. Who knew picking out a candle could be so difficult? I just want them alllllll!!!! But now, with this outlet you don't have to spend a fortune like at the mall.

This is my go-to spot if I need a gift for my mom, sister etc or just something for myself :) She also does events with local Hamilton businesses.
