I usually find store-bought candles to be way too overpowering and artificial, but these have a much more organic, natural aroma. The staff is clearly well-trained; they were very helpful and gave great recommendations on which scents would actually pair well together. It's a perfect spot for a date or a group hangout. Definitely worth checking out!

Everyone was patient, helpful, and made sure we all felt comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend Elm Candle Bar whether you're going with a group or even doing a solo experience. Such a fun and enjoyable activity.

They have a huge range of PWN products to choose from; everything from food & wine, shirts, artwork, jewelry, to trinkets. I'm always on the lookout for really cute cards since I buy a few a year and this place is definitely on my list now! Great selection of Chukar cherries, they had most if not all of the flavours. They also had a large selection of huckleberry products! I adore huckleberry and will definitely be back to get my snackage on.

She advised us about the box and packing it including with iced gel packs as this is going to sunny Tampa. The shop takes care of the packaging and shipping, Couldn't be easier! I recommend this local shop not just for holiday gifts but any PNW notions you may have during the year.

High end stationary and gift store (and baby store!) at the shopping center…read more Very conveniently located, and has doors on two sides (hilariously, and a bit rudely, I thought, some teenage girls used this store as a hallway from one part of the shopping center to the other, simply walking through, stopping to look at themselves in the mirror, then leaving. Well I never! lol). Have been in a couple of times. It's funny to go from one of the big box stores nearby, where everything is marked down and in a way, secondhand, then come in here where everything is closely curated, a lot of local artists, and tbh, pricey. But beautiful. Love all the things. Pleasant staff. I was actually quite intrigued by the charm station this time. They have lots of little tiny cute gold charms and you can fashion a bracelet or what-have-you. On my budget, I usually pick up a sticker... They have a couple of Galentine's events coming up, fyi. One at this location and one in Tacoma.

We really liked the card selection here but we were primarily into the candle selection and really liked the selection they had there and the various scents. Paper Luxe is great for a little gift and to celebrate cheerful occasions and certainly is a place to keep in mind since the only thing similar I have come across was in Seattle. But perhaps there are closer spots too and I just haven't come across them yet.

Not only that, but she was literally talking OUT LOUD TO HERSELF but ignoring active customers. That's wild. Not going back here and definitely don't recommend it. Also they have very limited selections and the items are overpriced. You can get much similar things online or from a mom-and-pop that appreciates you being there. Hoping they work on their service because it would help them a lot.

I was recommended for it by an acquaintance and I was in the mood to do some incense stick shopping a few weekends ago so I finally paid my first visit there. What a cute place! I love it! There is all kinds of spiritual or metaphysical items and some things that are there just for the sheer fun of it. They did not disappoint in having a good variety of incense and Steve bought an absolutely beautiful reflective Crescent Moon incense holder. It's so beautiful I am almost afraid to use it. They have a great tea and book section and all kinds of candles. But the thing that was a real extra bonus was their chocolate section. They have a small counter in which you can pick chocolates from out of the case. We each bought an espresso chocolate and a coconut chocolate and they were so good! I don't know the back story with the chocolates but it wouldn't surprise me if the owner made them themselves. The chocolates are certainly local for sure and not associated with any large candy company. A really fun and rewarding stop! I will have to make more deliberate points to go here. If nothing else a quick stop for more of those chocolates!

I stumbled upon this consignment store from a Google search. It is house with a kitty in it. How cute when I got to meet the majestic Romeo The Cat! He played a bit rough, but he was pretty friendly. The clothing selections at this place were okay. I didn't buy any but did walk out with 2 cute scarves. I couldn't say "No" to good sales deals. One thing I like about this shop is there ARE SERIOUSLY A GREAT AMOUNT OF JEWELRIES on display EVERYWHERE in the store. I walked, turned, and saw another display! I thought I covered all of the jewelry section until I saw more in the other rooms and upstairs. Additionally, these jewelry pieces are priced AT AFFORDABLE PRICES, starting at $8. Some beautiful pearl pieces start at $15! That's a freaking steal! I'd recommend if you're in Gig Harbor and want to take a look at some reasonably priced clothing and jewelry items because let's to be honest... you sometimes JUST don't want to drop $100 on a shirt, $30 for a pair of earrings, or $50 on a scarf, do you?
