So happy to have found this hidden gem in Stillwater! I booked a "pour your own" candle class for a…read moregroup of friends for our girls night out and absolutely fell in love this store! The place itself has such a unique and dark, yet luxe atmosphere with a touch of goth aesthetic. I was slightly worried the smell would be overwhelming since one of my friends is sensitive to scents but as soon as you walk in you are pleasantly enveloped with a most enjoyable and comforting smell without it being overbearing! Plus, not only are their candles toxic free, but hand-poured and formulated with high end luxury oils blended into a 100% natural soy wax blend for clean burning. I also love that they have an awesome recycling/discount program to reduce their footprint. Its refreshing to see a company with such high values and truly consider their work as a passionate art form rather than just another tourist shop in this charming historic town. Our group was given time to peruse the retail portion of the store before our class started which includes not only candles, but one of a kind items and gifts (even from some of my favorite brands that are usually harder to find in stores!) including Spitfire Girl, Sugar Boo and P.F. Candles. We received a discount for doing the class also! Booking the workshop online was quite simple and very convenient as it assured our spots (they do accept walk ins but spaces seemed to fill quickly so I am happy I made reservations) I also like their flexibility as I was able to book the basic package with the option for everyone to make their own upgrades separately if desired. The workshop space was a whole upper level floor in a historic brick building (circa 1800s) designated just for the candle making. It was spacious with two huge tables to accommodate up to a group of 16 people! The large windows overlooking the towns main street was also a bonus. We were able to sit where we liked and each spot had a cute tray set up that included all the supplies we needed to make our candle. There was a beautiful variety of vessels show cased and easy to select from with pricing clearly labeled. There was also wax station and a scent station that offered an incredible selection of pre blended scents each of which were carefully curated by the owner and kept unnamed as to enhance our scent experience with our memory, making us reminisce on what each reminded us of. Overall, the entire process was truly hands on and the instructor was super personable and made the detailed process seem so effortless. It was so fun to collaborate and guess what smells we could decipher in each blend- and the instructor knew exactly what was included in each in case we couldn't figure it out! We were also able to mix the scents if we wanted making it feel like a fun mad scientist experiment! This is something totally unique that none of us had done before and they even served wine and beer to accompany the class so it felt very intimate and classy. We did an evening class so we were able to pick up our candles the next day-we were glad because we went out to dinner after and didn't want to have to carry them around with us. The instructor also gave us an insider tip to a hidden speak easy bar that was just so magical and mysterious that we would never have otherwise known about! Definitely will be back as I think this would make the cutest date night!

The experience was fine but overpriced. We went as a Mother's Day experience. I've been to other…read morecandle making experiences and this was not as fun. I also paid to have the candles shipped the next day and we didn't receive them. I called to get them shipped out and they said they would be in the mail the next day. We still have not received them. so while the experience was "ok" we haven't received the product we paid for and so I cannot recommend them.

We had such a fun class at Simply Creative…read more They offered DIY classes and we booked it last minute (like 2 hours before the class). They are very accommodating on the late notice. Taylor was our instructor, she's very patient and kind on repeating herself many times for us until we fully understand the process. They even helped me print out my own design. Oh they also offers yummy drinks. It was a very nice experience for us to be there, we enjoyed a nice 2-2.5 hours girls time together, chatting while working in our project. Highly recommended.

A few friends and I were celebrating the December birthdays in our group and decided to do an…read moreactivity before dinner. Enter Simply Creative : a beautiful, artistic space designed to release your imagination and inner creativity. We chose the holiday candle + bracelet making class and it was a huge hit! There were so many choices of beads to choose from for the bracelets, and it was so fun smelling all the aromatic scents for the candles and sharing our favorite scents with friends before deciding on a candle. I absolutely loved it ! The best part was that it wasn't too loud and it was easy to carry on a conversation. Everyone in the group was friendly and supportive of each other's bead and candle artwork. I just loved the environment and space. It was expensive - around $70 with tax - but it was totally worth it for the experience. And like I said, the selection of beads and aromatics were so unique, it was worth the cost for that experience alone! Besides classes, the place also sells art and creative pieces like jewelry and other trinkets. Thank you for making my birthday memorable! I will definitely be back again some day to try the other classes.

This one is in Ridgedale, the sleepy mall in the west burbs of Mini Soda. They're not cheap but they do have a good selection. I just can't spend too much time in here cuz I get a migraine headache because of all the scents. It just doesn't make scents.

When you walk into any store, they way you're treated as a customer is very important to me. Paul is so kind, knowledgeable, and very personable. The store has one-of-a-kind finds. Including up-cycled items and there is a lot to choose from. The store is kept clean, tidy and organized. The store is also very well decorated which helps to give you ideas when decorating your own home or pulling together a gift for someone. Every time I go in the store there is something different, fun, and new to choose from. Everywhere from 'primitive' looking to modern, and artsy. Everything I've purchased from this store has a very special place in my heart. Their hand poured candles are also very nice! I LOVE the Victorian Pines scented candle for wintertime. I highly recommend visiting this store if you haven't! You will want to visit often, I promise.
