I reached out to Elita at Einnim for hosting a candle making workshop for my office colleagues. From our communication via email, Elita is super sweet and very well prepared. She came to our office (she is mobile now) and hosted workshops for 25+ people. She had great selection of flavoring oils. Our whole team had amazing time with her and really were excited to make candles just before Valentine's Day. Now my team is thinking about doing something like this on annual basis. read more

Very informational session on candle making. Learning and base, mid and high tones. Natural vs. man made. Even the experience of making the candle and knowing the wax to oil ratios. Very informative on how to properly care for a candle that I (a candle lover) didn't think about. A bit short lived. Keep in mind. The entire experience was less than 30 min. But and you candle has to be shipped or picked back up next or later day. read more

Einnim is such a cute spot! As a family, we try to get together and do something new every month. Candle making was my favorite so far! The shop is clean, smells great, and looks perfect! The owner and her family are so friendly and the customer service was top tier. Everything was explained to us clearly and she was so patient. We are beyond excited to light our candle because they smell so good already! The value for your product is worth it because they truly invest in clean, top-quality fragrances/oils. read more

This place is so chill and peaceful! As soon as you come in you are smelling a combination of essential oils. I love the idea of either picking pre-made candles or making your own! I lucked up and came across this place while the owner was there and she is very informative and gives you great step-by-steps while assisting you with scent pairing and candle creation. There is a candle making bar, pre-made candles, "mystery candles", and more. The place has sustainable packaging including an initiative where you can re-use the containers! I love that they also do business with local creators, selling/using their goods/services. BUY LOCAL They do parties too for those that like craft and sip events! They are in a great location and help with making your event entertaining and chill. Now, depending on what you want, the cost can get pricey but the overall benefit was worth it for me. Not to mention how long they last is a win ! read more

The scent waifs through the air as you pass the store. You stop to see what the scent is all about. You are drawn in by the scent aspect alone. Lisa, (the owner) has done a fantastic job with this store. Open about 2 years now (as of 7/2023) AND survived COVID! (Kudos Lisa!) I took my BFF here for her birthday as she has wanted to make a candle here since it opened. Renee was our artist. She was delightful! We chatted and shared a lot. A small candle is $35 minimum pricing, to make. You also need to pick it up after 24 hours (so it can solidify) or they also offer shipping. Lisa also offers group events in the store or at your location. Call for pricing and availability. Stop in and support this great shop while in Oak Park. Besides candles they also offer handmade soaps, room sprays, custom scent roll on and more! Support Small Business! read more

A few months ago I had to cancel my candle making class. I never had the time to reschedule. I received a gift card from a friend for a handcraft soap. There were a few choices to pick. I ended up getting the Lavender Poppy Seed. The owner was there and she was so down to earth. A nice laid back candle bar where you can sit and make your customize candle. Einnim specializes in customized soy candles, goat milk soap bars, body and hair products and other products. Inside is a nice seating area that has a couch. I love the neon pink sign on the wall (the candle bar) it gives off cool chill vibes. Fun and cute place to make candles with your friends. read more

we did a monday night candles and wine class. it was so fun to pick our scents and make the candles. Lida is so helpful. when we couldn't make a final decision she knew exactly what to do. we couldn't have stayed and talked to her for many more hours. it was so enjoyable and can't wait to bring back more friends. try it out!!! read more

It's been awhile since I've been in, but I bought a really rich, excellent hand cream that was perfect for winter. Love their body products and will have to try the candles! read more

This place gave me and my woman a great experience, we were able to have a private session and enjoy ourselves as much as we could, the owner was really informational about the scents ands helpful and very welcoming and friendly. They have a lot of available scents, I enjoyed smelling them and trying to figure out which would go great to mix together. And there were nice chill lofi type music playing it was a whole vibe. Definitely a place I'd recommend for people to hang out not just with their significant other but also their friends. read more

A very cute and cozy place. We enjoyed ourselves so much! We did a candle making party for 2 and it was us and the host (who was the owner!) She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and explained everything really well. She's uses high quality oils and waxes unlike many big box stores. The store also has a small market of other local artists to support! read more

The scents are limited to a specific season to create your candle, disappointing to say the least, especially when the cost of an 11 ounce candle is around $45. Even Harry Slatkin has better prices. Booking online turned out to be confusing. Every time I spoke with someone the prices changed. The shop is very small, so I cannot say we enjoyed working in cramped quarters. We were given a very small space for a group of 6, with two tall party/cocktail tables to work from. I don't see how they could accommodate a large group party, as advertised. The liquid candles were moved after we left the shop, resulting in a crooked wick when it hardened. Te next day we picked up the candles. The two young clueless girls who were in the shop were sweet, but not a good representation of a business. They had no answers to our questions and just giggled the entire visit. Never to return! read more
