    Fun merchandise
    Andrea T.

    This was such a fun group outing! I was in a group of ladies (ages ranging from 13 to 65) and we planned a girls day. We ate and shopped around downtown Lee's Summit before our appointment time at Embers (highly recommend an appointment, they are very busy). The staff are super helpful and nice. The instructions were clear and understandable. I also enjoyed the variety of jars/methods you can choose from. Don't want a candle? No problem they have wax melts or oil diffusers and other alternatives. They also have a huge selection of scents to choose from. The only downfall is it can get a smidge crowded, but that doesn't bother me. I also felt the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend this activity when out with friends or even a family event.

    Great spot for a girls day out! Very cozy, organized and well decorated space. It was really fun to choose my own blend and staff were very helpful with making suggestions for scent blends. The price points of candles were reasonable considering you are paying for an experience and not just a product. The only thing I would add is to have some coffee beans available as a palate cleanser for smelling so many different things. You do need to wait for your candle to set up for at least an hour so plan accordingly.

    My husband and I made reservations here for a Saturday afternoon. It was busy and all of the tables were full with groups so I would recommend making a reservation ahead. The staff there walked through each of the steps with us. First, you choose what you want your candle in, then the scents. We kept things simple and only chose 2 scents for our candles. You can add more if you would like. From there, you take the scent oils to your table and stir them together. The staff will then bring you the wax and you stir the oils in the wax. They take your candles to cool and you return in a few hours to pick them up. I really enjoyed the experience. I did find that I couldn't really smell my candle after burning it at home (cashmere and Flannel). Staff were very helpful and I would recommend this experience for date nights or a girls night out.

    LOVE IT!!! It was an activity for my 11 year old and I. What a great idea! You are welcomed by an associate (super nice.) She explained the process: Take a clipboard and use the page attached to help navigate you to your end product. Which candle holder? What size? And maybe even what color? Then the scents... 3 shelves stocked with tany jars that look like large lip balms. Start smelling and taking notes. Consult with the employees at the end and they will help you narrow down the scents of your candle. We smelled. We took notes. We eliminated and made decisions. We mixed the proper amount of oils to our desired smell. We stirred our scent into the hot wax. We named our scent. We decorated our label. It was a really cool experience. Both adult and child enjoyed it and now we are home from vacation with two candles we can burn at anytime that will remind us of our vacation and this experience together.

    What a fun way to spend a girls day of making candles. Highly recommend making a rsvp for the weekend. First you pick your candle holder and then you pick your scents. This process can take 30 minutes. It takes 2 - 3 hours for them to mold the candles. I suggest grabbing lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants in downtown LS.

    This is my second visit to Embers, which is a testament unto itself, I guess. I'd made a candle there ~ 6 months ago, and I liked it so much -- and accidentally let it burn too long and used it up -- that I made a sojourn back to Lee's Summit for a remake. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and will walk you through the process, which is simple: Pick your scents, pick your container, mix your essential oils, stir your oils into the soya wax candle for 2 minutes. Then you let the candle cure while strolling around the lovely Lee's Summit shopping district (get ice cream!) and come back. Voilá! Masterpiece. Only downvoted because the staff have been made to suffer without A/C for two weeks after lightening struck, and the whole experience is literally 10 minutes if you know what you're doing. Fun place to have a little get together or mini group event though!

    This was a fun experience that was worth the price! When you come in for an appointment you get to sniff all of these different scents. Out of probably 40+ choices you got to pick 2-4 scents that you would like to turn into a candle. Now if you are an indecisive person like me.. it's fun, but also a tad bit stressful (in a great way) because you want to use everything! The staff their were extremely helpful on giving us tips on how to decide if the different scents were good partners with each other. Beyond that we were able to choose and mix ourselves the exact amount of each even we wanted in our candle! Another plus were there were many different jars to choose from that dictated the price of your experience . My experience cost $30. This concept was so cute and the environment vibe was mellow and comfortable! I def will be back when I'm feeling a need to be creative!

    I am always looking for new and fun things to do, especially during the pandemic, so when my sister gave me the gift of visiting Embers Candle Bar as a Christmas present, I was quite excited. Upon visiting, I was even more pleased. We booked a two hour time frame to come in, choose our containers, decide on a mixture of scents, and then custom make our own candle. The staff was very helpful. It was such a fun thing to do and even more fun to take home. You get a slight discount on your next trip if you bring back the container after burning the candle at home. Allow several hours for the candle to set upon finishing, so plan to have lunch or walk around the cute little downtown area of Lees Summit while you wait. It's a great gift idea or way to spend time with a friend. I'll be back!

So i just stop at the very next place that looked like it might sell lip care. I'd never been inside a bath and body works before. It was not rows of shelves like i'd expected. It was a cute fancy boutique. I stared around in wonder, instantly in love, but so much on a mission that i asked the very first staff member i saw where i can find the lip balms. She helped me immediately and with a smile, literally making my day immensely more enjoyable. After i had made my choice, i asked another very friendly gal where i could find the counter. It was nowhere near the walk in and i was LOST! Lol literally the sweetest lady. And then another came up and said "i overheard you saying you had chapped lips, what did you go with?" And i showed her, but she recommended something way better. Let me try a sample, and it was more moisturizing and less waxy than the one i had picked. I traded her graciously. Ive been using it all day and my lips feel AMAZING! And then the lady at the checkout, huge smile. Everyone here is so friendly!

It was nice to have places for the kids to climb and explore. And there were also spaces to rest and be quiet. I like that each book was unique on display so it wasn't the same old thing over and over again. What I really loved was that they have multiple copies of each book represented in said section. So the ones we hadn't read and were interested in, we were able to discover like The Funny Thing and The Fire Cat. And ones we were aware if were fun to read while exploring like Goodnight Moon (my absolute favorite part), Babar, Frog and Toad, and No, David! The bus ride is a must; so creative and heart warming. We didn't purchase tickets for The Three Robbers experience, but peeking inside I wish we had, it looks great. The docents and volunteers were all knowledgeable of the books. And they were very kind when needing to remind kids of the museum rules. If I lived here I would by an annual membership for sure. And would have gladly paid more than the current $16 admission as I think this experience is worth much more.
