This was an amazing shop to visit when we were in the village and, surprisingly, was one of the most interesting and unique experiences we had as far as shopping went. Firstly, when you step through the door, you feel as though you are transported to a different time and place. The owner has created an atmosphere that is truly magnificent. We were amazed at how the shop looked once we stepped in. The shop is well-organized and the staff are friendly and kind. I have never seen a more beautiful selection of artisanal candles. We particularly liked the ones with quotes from famous musicians and authors. Pricing is reflective of the quality. These candles are works of art. If you are looking for a gift while in Woodstock, this is a great place to look. read more

Feel like a gnome in a whimsical forest full of waxy enchantments and visit Candlestock. This place is ART and I would definitely recommend a visit. I bought a morel mushroom beeswax candle--too cute! read more

Candlestock - What morel can you ask for? - Home Decor Near Me - Woodstock, New York

Also known as THE candle store, this place is a total must visit in Woodstock. They have so many candles of all different types and style: taper, tea light, votive, beeswax, etc. In the center of the store is a giant candle assemblage that's pretty remarkable. They have candles in a variety of themes for owl lovers, mushroom lovers, yoga enthusiasts, etc. While some may find the prices a little steep (I overheard a guy trying to convince his girlfriend to just buy candles in the dollar store because it's so much cheaper), the prices are not terribly unreasonable. Expect to pay a slight premium due to the touristic location but also no shipping and a unique experience. read more

Even if you aren't into candles, this place is a must visit when strolling through Woodstock, NY. As I remarked to the owner, "This place is the best candle store in the WORLD", (after he laughed and thanked me), he informed me that the store started back in 1913. Candlestock has so much, listing it here woukd not do it justice. Enjoy the pictures. read more

A very cute and varied candle gift shop that has soy candles, interesting shaped candles, and candle making classes. I was impressed by the number of different candles available in different forms, shapes and sizes. Looking for a candle in the shape of a cat, eggplant, mushroom or cereal? You'll find that and more here. No deals will be had but if you're looking for a unique gift and are willing to spend a little, you'll likely find something to your liking. read more

Candlestock - Home Decor Near Me - Woodstock, New York

A visit to Candlestock on Tinker St in Woodstock, NY is mandatory if you love candles. This is one of the best shops to come to when you're in town to buy for your home or gifting. You can snag a candle jar from one of the several shops nearby, but if it's soy candle or beeswax selection you're looking for, Candlestock, is the name of the game. And there are literally dozens of scents to choose from. From pillar candles I've purchased for my home to several gift candles for work and family, Candlestock's service has always been fantastic in their fuzzy-warm setting. Prices range from as low as $10ish to upwards. I love creating an ambience at home with candles- but if it's gifting you also want, these folks will box your item and decorate it to the nines. read more

All of the candles are quite expensive and many of the same items can be found on Etsy.

Very fast shipping. The candles are perfect! Hippy Drippy Candle Company... you just have to love the name! read more

I love the Hippie Drippy candles! So pretty in an array of colors. Grandsons love them too!

If you love candles, you'll love Candlestock. This is one of my favorite shops in Woodstock, and I always make sure to swing by if I'm in the area. The main event is the giant candle in the center of the store - a HUGE mountain of wax drippings that has been growing for at least but likely far longer than a decade. Candlestock doesn't specialize in scented candles, but rather neutral candles in a variety of waxes, colors, and sizes - thousands of options in hundreds of shapes. On my most recent trip this past weekend, I found a candle that had almost a geode pastel pattern that I fell in love with. In the past I purchased beeswax candles, and some "bloody" Halloween candles that I'll never burn because they're just too cool. If you make it all the way to Woodstock, make sure to step into this candle boutique gem! read more

This place is great! I love their unique decorations and the giant candle inside. They have such a vast selection of candles and gifts you'll find something for anyone. And everyone is friendly and helpful. This is where I discovered my favorite candle-the paddy wax library series specifically the Charles dickens scent. Anywhere else I've looked it's priced way higher than what I bought at Candlestock. read more

This is the most amazing store. You definitely need to come here if you go to Woodstock. They are the friendliest people have great prices, and they have amazing selection of candles and other things. Don't shortchange yourself come and check out candle stock. read more

Greatest candle store I've ever been in...ok, the list of candle stores I've actually been in is very short, but this place is awesome. No, it isn't full of aroma candles like Yankee Candle, but their drip candles are plentiful and there are tons of other candles. Some of the coolest sculpted candles here too. The star of the place is the drop candle that's been being built since 1969... No, I'm not turning into a hippie that's going to hang out in Woodstock, but when I AM up there I'm definitely getting more candles from here. read more

This is such an incredible cute shop in Woodstock!! They have so many beautiful candles to give as gifts. I ordered online and they ship quickly!! read more

I saw a few things in the window that interested me and then I saw a sign that said 'all dogs who don't eat wax are welcome'. I just thought it was cute/funny so I decided to check it out. They have a lot of nice stuff for a moderate price. They even have a candle drip mountain in the store that was really cool to look at! read more

Candles bring me so much dang joy. I'm very much a believer in the value of aromatherapy, so candles sporting my favorite scents (woody and/or spice notes) are bliss. Candlestock is a wonderland for the candle-obsessed. There are so many shapes, sizes and smells that you can't possibly take it all in on one visit. So we came back several times in a weekend. Their Halloween selections were up in mid-September and there were so many bewitching holders and candles (leaning more towards to the cute side than actual spell-binding candles. Go across the street for that). And that 50 year old enormous ever-burning candle (also what I'd consider to be a wax sculpture) in the middle of the store is incredible. I almost want to be a hippy when I'm in here. Ok, so that's a lie, but there's just really good vibes throughout the store. I walked out with about 80 dollars worth of candles (three candles). I know people think it's pricey but this ain't Yankee Candle (or Home Goods) OK? I think it's worth the splurge to support this venerable local institution. read more

I love this place I have so many candles from here. I didn't get one this year sadly but that's more because my son was trying to eat the candles so we left lol. Definitely a place to check out. read more

This place is seriously the coolest and best candle store east of the Mississippi (cause I've got a place in Sedona, AZ that I love). It's so kitschy and offers a huge selection of different candles, in all different shapes and sizes and colors. It also has the huge candle drippings mountain in the middle that was started decades ago. This is an absolute must stop if you're in Woodstock. read more

One of the coolest shops I've ever been in. As a huge candle lover, I knew I had to check this place out. What I loved the most was their large variety and selection- they had something for every price point and something for everyone. From taper candles in all the sizes and colors to unique tea lights to huge candles and small- they had it all. Unscented, scented, colored wax, natural wax... everything. I went with a bunch of the unique tea lights (pumpkins, scream, skulls, peace signs and flowers) as well as taper candles for my holders at home. I could have stayed all day to admire and smell every candle in the shop. read more

Generous sized votive candles, which seem to be getting very hard to find these days. I believe this is a local business in Woodstock ,may be mistaken ,but I think so...anyway, I like doing business with a small business, keeps our country alive! Nice colors too,came promptly. If I ever get up to Woodstock, I'll go in and check them out,seems like a nice place from the photos read more

Such a lovely shop! Staff was very friendly and went out of their way. We put together a nice lil gift box, was so special. I'll be back for more lil keepsakes and tokens of appreciation. read more

If I could give this place more than five stars, you best believe I would!!!!!! If I had endless money, you best believe I would spend every cent in this store!! their unique style of candles really blew me so far away, you best believe i would still be looking for the hat that blew off my head!!! they also had a really awesome and colorful wax piece that made me feel like i was in a museum!! You best believe I would recommend this store to any and all candle fanatics like me, visiting Woodstock, NY! read more

As groovy candle stores go, this one takes the cake. Prepare to be whisked away into an enchanted mining-style enclave of colored wax, candles, and other cool gifts. As other reviewers note, many of the candles for sale here are unscented, and some are much better left as decorations. Their prices are good and there's plenty of selection for even the biggest connoisseurs. read more

This store is incredible. I went there on a recent trip to Woodstock and (candle)stocked up! I love that they have so many beeswax and soy candles. I think their prices are super reasonable for what they offer. I've also subsequently made two online orders, which arrived super fast (like within 2 or 3 days of ordering). It's a must-see if you're in Woodstock and, in my opinion, the best place for online orders of well-made, beautiful candles. read more

Trippy man. Or in this case, drippy man. Candlestock is a must stop while in Woodstock. It kind of just brings you right back to the era. I mean, there's even a huge candle which has been burning non stop since those groovy days. Way cool and an obvious huge draw. They 'stock' any and every candle you can imagine and those you can't believe even exist. Every color, every method, every shape, every size. Definite a hoot to see it all, and a tad mind blowing too. The largest variety of candles I've ever seen! Prices are fair. Employees were helpful, but not overly so. You can tell they're used to people just stopping in to see the huge candle (which is located in the back room) and not actually purchase anything. Make your 'trip' to this region complete by stopping by Candlestock. read more

I came into Candlestock to buy a few cool gifts for some friends back home. I was expecting to be smacked in the face with candle scents as soon as I walked in but it wasn't anywhere as overpowering as I would have imagined. All I detected was wax. That's because most of the decorative candles aren't scented and those are the one's mainly on display. They do have some scented candles but those are confined to containers to keep the smell inside. I would be nice if there could be really nice decorative candles that are also scented but I didn't see any of those. Personally I usually only buy scented candles but those were very plain. I wonder if there's a reason for it but I didn't bother to ask. Some of these candles are so damn gorgeous I wouldn't even dare light them. They are just too pretty. The statue of candle drippings was most impressive. It's nearly up to the ceiling. I wonder what they are going to do when it's so big it doesn't fit in the store anymore. The prices are a little on the high side but it's really the craftsman ship and novelty that you are paying for. They do have some more plain lower priced options as well. You can get single candle sticks and mix and match and make your own assorted bag. The tea lights come in some nice scents. They do also have some cute ornament's and other tchotchke's. If you are looking for a piece of Woodstock to bring back home with you that you can place on your shelves to admire this would be the place. You will likely get a lot of compliments on it as well. read more

A friend got me a candle from here for a housewarming gift. I'm glad she did! They make truly one of a kind, special, gifts/candles. You can place glowing words on them or various designs. Its not the kind of thing that you buy for yourself, it is a real treat, to get one of these as a gift. I have ended up giving countless numbers of them for engagement gifts, baby showers, and housewarmings, and the recipients are always so touched to receive something so unique and special. Highly recommend it! read more

Gift wrapping is , always. Their bayberry candles are pure, the employees are always helpful and knowledgeable, Beeswax pillars are fab. So many beeswax candle. read more

Really cute store, great home made candles. Very unique and hippie place- definitely a place to check out while in the area.

Never seen such a selection of wax available for purchase. Everything from handmade beeswax with natural beauty to funky and hippie like Woodstock mushrooms. There is a "wall of wax" in the store that is nearly a monument to funky. read more

Interesting, I thought there would be more than 11 reviews. I've been coming to the Candlestock for years (about 15) and I always enjoy stopping in when I'm in Woodstock, the long time burning giant candle is a favorite (bet they could auction it off at Sotheby's) They have a great selection of candles and I always leave with at least one. If you want to see some out of this world candles go the the Renn Fair in Tuxedo Park NY, there is a guy from Texas that makes the best candles! https://www.facebook.com/royalcandlemaker Royal Candle Maker is great! read more

Dana was amazing!! She gift wrapped everything beautifully and was SO sweet even when it was very busy and hectic.

Pretty cool place but a little expensive. Still this location is worth going into if for nothing else the tourist aspect of this place. There is a candle that is 50 years of candle drippings that I have stopped in to see a couple of times in the last 20 years. read more

They don't have any apparent occupancy restrictions during COVID. I was browsing there on a Sunday afternoon, and several groups of people came in at once. The sole employee in the store did nothing to try to keep people apart. I left. read more

Amazing candle selection and cute little shop for gifts in Woodstock. There were all sorts of holiday candles - both for Christmas and Hanukkah - when I visited in December. They also had candles for menorahs for the approaching holiday. The sore also had specialty candles that were hand-painted by a local artist with a pretty backround and quote. The candles could also be customized with any quote or saying you want to give them a personal touch. Loved browsing here while I was in town. The prices are a bit steep, but good candles generally come with a higher price tag than you want to pay! Highly recommend stopping in, even if to just take a look. read more

Love this little shop! It's crazy overpriced (I can't pay $54 for a candle holder no matter how cool it looks) but fun to browse and get a small thing or two. I love the atmosphere and the giant drip candle is fascinating. read more
