    Been burning YC my whole life, and long before internet shopping was a thing (side note: this is…read moreone of those companies that spoil frequent online buyers, so get to it for some seriously deep discounts!) I would come here to load up. It's always kind of looked the same (clean, colorful, welcoming with seasonal decor), and the staff has always kind of been the same (friendly but distrusting? I wonder how many candles they've watched slip through fingers and shatter on their floors). Here's what I don't like: 1. The price. Why are these candles so expensive? Their scent isn't long lasting enough, or have enough of a reach, to warrant these prices. 2. All the new smells based off weirdly specific experiences. I don't want Baby's First Steps In Spring Rain, or Wedding Cake Topper Defrosted And Enjoyed On Our First Anniversary, or Stardust Sprinkled Gently On The Sweet Flesh Of Gourds. I want Whoopie Pie. I want Plumeria. And, damn it, I want Rainbow's End. Admittedly there have been times when this particular YC store has pulled out a discount bin of former scents, and those rare moments are the best! Listen, if you're a candle fiend, then of course you're gonna love it here. Even if you don't believe in smells like Friend's Forgotten Scarf or Bronzed And Brined, it's still a whole lotta fun to sniff 'em all!

    I am rating this based on my experience 1. The lady there…read morewas super sweet and really made me feel like I wasn't a burden 2. The prices were good at five dollars for a small candle

    Ok, so I know there are plenty of Paper Stores around, but this one deserves a shout out for the…read moregreat work they are doing. I go to this Paper Store often for various things; cards, candles, games, and gifts. (I mean it's right next to a Hannaford... how can I resist every time I get my groceries!) They really do have a little bit of everything. But really it is the staff that makes this store get an enthusiastic 5 stars. Everyone is always SO friendly and helpful (but not in a pushy way). If you want to strike up a conversation, they will talk to you, but you won't be dogged by people trying to sell you everything in the store. I also love that they have a relatively large amount of staff for the store's size. On any given day, I usually see someone stocking, a cashier, a greeter, and another person or two floating around to help where needed. This means that I never have waited on line for more than 5 minutes (even on weekends) and when I've needed help, I never had to search fruitlessly for a free employee. The store is alway clean and the merchandise neatly arranged. Keep up the good work everyone!

    I have been shopping in both of their locations in Scarborough and Falmouth Maine for several years…read morenow - I find there customer service extraordinary. They are always willing to special order and even ship any of their items to you. And now I am really excited that their Falmouth Store finally has Vera Bradley accessories. Unfortunately it has a limited number of larger sized bags. They also have great gifts for anybody and their card selection is great!
