Great shop in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. Lots of different scents and it was nice…read moreto find out all the candles are actually created in-house at the store. The candles are also soy based and burn cleaner (according to the store owner). I definitely like the approach. All the candles are white/off white in color so it will go well with any decor and the scents are not overwhelming. They have their go-to scents that are popular as well as seasonal scents, but you really can't go wrong with any candle purchased here for personal use (or gifting). The staff/owner was super friendly and helped me pick out a scent for a house warming gift.

Booked a "Paint Your Pet" session with my husband and our friends. The entire process was seamless…read more- I booked online and emailed a few photos of our dogs to the email address provided on the booking page. I received an email response confirming the photos were received. We showed up about 10 minutes before our event was scheduled, and were greeted by our expert painter and shown the canvas with photos of our dogs. We were given paint colors for our background (whatever we chose) and the appropriate base colors for our dogs. What initially seemed like an intimidating process turned out to be a lot of fun and was surprisingly easy - we think our photos turned out to look amazingly like our pets! As a bonus, our instructor was AMAZING and we really enjoyed her company and were grateful for her reassurances throughout the evening. We will definitely be coming back to do more of these events!

This is a kitschy local artist shop in a nice shopping center. I was brought in by a local friend…read morewho is particularly art savvy and interested. There is everything from handmade jewelry to figures, paintings, pottery, photography printed large, t-shirts, sports team logo emblazoned memorabilia and catnip toys for your cat. That's just a smattering of what they have. This being art, you can imagine the prices range broadly depending on what you're wanting. Larger items can be several hundred dollars while I saw smaller items down to just a few bucks. Staff was friendly and helpful. The store itself is in what used to be an old bar/restaurant. It has an almost rustic feel to it, although I don't believe the building is truly all that old. If you find yourself in this area you should give it a look.

I love visiting the cargo district and seeing all of the local shops they have available for customers. This place had all handmade soaps as well as some accessories you could purchase.

I recommend visiting when you're near the cargo district!

The only place that comes close to Alchemy & Aura is Crystal Connection (no longer exists) and AromaG Botanica in Nashville, Tennessee. Ezra assisted me in finding items I needed and was very patient and thoughtful in answering all my questions despite being very busy assisting others. I loved how they created a sense of arrival in the store with two trees at the entrance area with a crystal chandelier hanging between them, eye catching displays, and a large dining table with chairs. The tarot & oracle deck selection was massive. Some of the decks were not available for sale online. I purchased three large Oracle decks on clearance for $12-$15 each, a dragon incense holder, oudh incense, nag champa cone incense, and got two books from exchange chest there. There were many items I wanted to purchase yet considered buying them later.

But very friendly and helpful and kind enough to search the store for what I wanted. Yankee candles are amazing and I especially love the scent of the salted caramel, it's delicious! I love their concentrated air fresheners. Plus, they helped me find some of the electric plug ins that I liked. They didn't mention it, but the plug ins are also night lights. As always, you leave the store with coupons to use on your next visit! Great customer service!

I absolutely love Practical Magic! The owners and staff are knowledgeable and helpful and always have the best in crystals, herbs, tarot, candles basically anything metaphysical you can think of! Their prices are reasonable as these are not cheap items, but often some of the best quality you can get. I enjoy seeing what they have to offer and always love their live sales. From personal experience I know when a mistake is made they do everything to make it up. Once they forgot to include an item in my order. I messaged them, they got back to me the next day. Asked that I send a picture of the invoice and then they made it right. Actually more than right! I had ordered an intuitive pick for a certain amount and she sent me so much! It was all perfect and I was so blown away! They are always so kind to everyone they talk to and go above and beyond to be personable and helpful in the lives. Once again, a wonderful company to work with! If you are looking for anything metaphysical, check them out!

The store is spacious so make sure to set aside a good amount of time to look at everything. Products range from plants to gemstones, incense, jewelry, products from India, health and beauty products to books on astrology. It would have been cool if they had more books and items about witchcraft/magic and spells, hence its name. The manager said they do plan on getting more of those kind of items as well as others. The staff were welcoming and the owner was knowledgeable about items I had questions on. I ended up purchasing an incense powder, which was promoting love and attraction (not for me, it's a gift) ($6.50, 20 grams) and a vegan eucalyptus shower fizz with a tiger's eye gemstone hidden inside ($9). There were other incense powders that promoted different things, such as clearing negativity, spirituality growth. The incense powder had written instructions on how to use it, where essentially you pinch the powder to form a mound or cone shape and then you light the tip. The manager also had some other tips on how to use the incense powder. Since it was the grand opening day, there was a 10% discount and a cute free pen. They will continue to offer coupons/discounts so make sure to check their website or Facebook. I liked that the items I purchased was packaged in a pretty blue gift bag with purple tissue paper. Some of their items were pricey but many of them would make unique and thoughtful gifts.
