Since hubs' long-time friend and his wife didn't include details of a Wedding registry in their invitation, we knew off the bat that we didn't want to go to the reception empty-handed with just the money envelope. A mundane vase was out of the question. So were thoughtless gift cards to those home stores such as BB&B. Instead, we decided to: (1) go off the grid, (2) be more creative and (3) choose a gift that's personal- but represents something for the new married couple and their home. Calling first before coming here was a breeze especially when Dean asked if I was looking for a Spiritual or 'Happy' Buddha then reassured me they have a varied selection. Taking a last-minute trip here, was a must the day before our friends' Saturday wedding. Located at the Palisades Mall (by Macy's) in Nyack, Glowing Candle greets you with different Buddhas, Crystals, Quartz, Fairy statues, etc. They were known primarily for their candles, but somehow shifted to offering Spiritual items for the mind, body and Soul. With so many different Buddhas that have a different message depending on the posture and mudras (hand gestures), we had a specific type in mind. We chose the Dhyana mudra with both of Buddha's palms almost overlapping and resting upward on the lap made out of volcanic ash. Service from Dean was incredible and took the time to clarify a few things about his products. Plus, he boxed our gift and filled in the gaps with tissue paper. I may not be so keen on gallivanting at the Palisades Mall- but coming to this shop, getting what I want and heading back out, wouldn't be a problem. read more

So where should I start?! My first steps into the store were breathtaking. It's like a little museum, so many beautiful pieces and artifacts to see, observe and learn about. Me being new to the world of crystals and precious stones I was amazed with the vast amount of pieces to choose from. Along side of the many options, the knowledge and information that the entire staff was able to share and help educate me was far beyond what I expected to walk out of the store with, I believe the associates names were Tara and Dean but they literally walked me through any and every questions I had and I really felt they just took their time to each understand me and that was actually really refreshing and unexpected service and an over all topping to a unique experience in a unique store. i say all of that to say all of this. I couldn't express greater appreciation for my unexpected visit to Glowing Candle and look forward to my next and future visits to come! read more

Very rude customer service, especially for a crystal shop! After standing outside waiting to be let in no one acknowledged me at all after a customer left he told me I could just walk in, upon walking in instead of being greeting I was asked if I used hand sanitizer, I literally just used some in Macy's next door. No where does it say using hand sanitizer is mandatory not to mention I have a rash in the palm of my hand from using so many different hand sanitizer, the woman commented in a nasty manner saying it doesn't matter, anyways very rude and inconsiderate and I will not be spending my money here. read more

Glowing Candle - Gift Shops Near Me - West Nyack, New York

This store was a gem. I love the fact that they sell the effusion oill and lamps. I also have unique one-of-a-kind gifts. Luckily it's only our away from home so I can stop in more frequently. That I did take their card. And they said they would ship supplies as needed. The staff was truly helpful. I do wish the store was a little larger as it got very crowded. If you are ever in the Palisades Mall definitely stop bye read more

I was so impressed with Dean, whom I was sure was the owner of the store, for helping me with the finishing touches in my husbands local dental office. He couldn't have been more professional and knowledgeable about the artists behind the pieces I purchased that day. All I can say is, whoever the real owner of the store is, Dean is an amazing asset! I have NEVER been helped and given such undivided attention in a retail store as I exsperienced that day. Dean emits a true passion for what he does and it made me feel like buying everything!! I can't say enough read more

What a great store. While they carry candles and some kitschy stuff, the Glowing Candle also has a good collection of crystals incenses and other metaphysical items. Dale was knowledgable and helpful. The prices were very competitive. Overall a great experience and definitely worth just visiting if your in the Palisades Mall. read more

Really nice store. Very neat and clean. The employees where very friendly and I was greeted a upon entering the store. They sell much more than candles including incense, candle holders and crystals. I needed a gift for a friend and I wanted something a little different than what is available at Yankee candle. read more

Very nice store. They have beautiful stones. But my recommendation is to be more friendly. The guy is so serious that I did not want to buy more. Felt uncomfortable read more

Lovee coming here everytime I come to the mall. I always stop by whether or not I'm just browsing through the store or interested in buying some stones. The employees are always inviting friendly and helpful when it you enter and may have a question or two about their stuff. Its also the perfect size to get in and get out. But honestly I spend more time browsing around thinking about what I should get for an hour before I leave :) read more

No reasoning for a customer who visits often and just wanted his money back ; earrings i bought were "sterling silver" which has never done anything to me till i bought it from them , also very rude , if i could id give no stars read more
