I was looking for something special and fun to do for my friend for her birthday weekend, looking through Airbnb experiences. I wanted something memorable and unique, something involving alcohol lol ... and found this wonderful, highly rated activity. I didn't realize we had the option of having the candle making party in our own place - how crazy fun is that?! We booked a Saturday 11:00 am candle making private party in our Airbnb and bought some tiny bites, and setup our mimosa bar! I also bought some flowers, and played some romantic French cafe music .... it was the perfect setting. Ciarra was a wonderful teacher ... very patient! She came early and set everything up for our candle making party. I have done some candle making before with the birthday girl actually, knew a little already but learned so much from Ciarra. It was so fun smelling all the different fragrances and learning how to blend them, and learning about adding colors / blending colors... Besides being so knowledgable, she is so patient and sweet! All of our candles turned out perfectly and we all bickered as to who had the better candle lol... Even my boyfriend who tried to get out of it at first, admitted he had a good time. Danielle who is the owner helped me with our booking and she is amazing and kind too. Looking forward to another candle making adventure next time we are in Palm SpringsI read more

I hired Danielle to come do a candle workshop for my best friend's bachelorette party in Palm Springs. She was super knowledgeable and brought everything we needed to craft our own custom-scented and colored soy candles. Highly recommend! read more

My 18 year old daughter and I took a candle-making class at this beautiful store and had so much fun. Ciarra was an excellent instructor with lots of cool knowledge to share. You can browse and buy any of the fun items - many from local artisans in the store while you wait for your candle to set. We had never made candles before and it was SO FUN! Great activity to do if you live or visit the Coachella Valley. I'm exciting to support this woman-owned adorable place and we definitely plan to attend future classes to make different scents and colors. read more

Found this business on Air BNB activities. I must say the price was reasonable for a private party. The instructor was very friendly. The actual business was clean. The class itself was amazing. Different fragrances to select as well as colors. The class was informational. I'd definitely recommend for something different to do. read more

Danielle has such an amazing personality. Very fun and bubbly. Her candlemaking workshop is a must go to event! My friend and I had so much fun and learned lots about candles. They came out so good! We appreciate the finishing touches she did while the candles were curing. She's so knowledgeable about candlemaking and about candles in general. The workshop was socially distanced as well as wearing a mask is required. Gotta stay safe. We would definitely be coming back and doing another workshop when we're back visiting! read more

Danielle made sure we had a fantastic, fun, and COVID-safe class making candles. I've always been a big fan of candles but never imagined to go on to make one of my own, from scratch. I was gifted her class for the holidays and had such a blast. An unforgettable experience. I loved her scents so much I went on to order two more candles from her shop online after the class! I had a couple of minor issues with my order and Danielle made sure to amend it IMMEDIATELY. She's wonderful and friendly and kind and makes sure that she gives you only the best quality! Would absolutely recommend to others. read more

Danielle is an amazing host! My sister and I had such a blast during out candle making workshop.

Love this shop - Danielle is an oasis in the desert! We need more shops like this, that focus on tasteful, striking items, from one area (home decor/candles). You can't find these rare "Gem Candles" at WalMart! read more

Had a great time with a group of 5 ladies for my mom's 50th birthday trip. It was last minute but we are so glad we booked! Danielle had an amazing and extremely professional set up and she set up in less than 20 minutes. She made the class really fun and was such a nice lady! She was also very knowledgeable in the field of candle making which made it a fun learning experience as well. For anyone hesitant to sign up, do it, you won't regret it and you'll have a candle with a great memory attached. Thanks Danielle for such a great time while I was visiting Palm Springs! read more

This little gem of a boutique is such a delightful surprise. This is no ordinary candle shop. They carry the best candles in the world that are as beautiful and unique as the rest of the store's home accessories. They are many steps above Pier 1, Cost Plus and Home Goods and offer candles made by Votivo, Timberline, Trapp, Northern Lights and many more. There's no comparison for quality and selection. The customer service is exceptional and the owner is a delight. read more

I was walking by this store during a difficult time in my life. The fragrance pulled me in and instantly felt a calming sensation. The candles are fantastic, but Danielle showed me such kindness. Sometimes the way you are treated is more important than the product you are being sold. read more

Thanks to Jiva Collections for teaching my little sister and me how to make candles with four other Big Sisters and their "littles" last Sunday. We can't wait to light our candles. We enjoyed our Hielo Sno desserts. Another fun outing thanks to our local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. read more

Jiva Collections and Hielo Sno put on a wonderful activity for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert. We had several of our Big Sister/Little Sister matches participate in an afternoon of making scented candles followed by enjoying a tasty treat from Hielo Sno. Our matches told us they had a wonderful time and can't wait to do this again. They each got to take home their very own personal scented candle which they loved. We highly recommend this activity for other groups. Thank you to Danielle for organizing this activity for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert mentors and mentees! read more

I stumbled across this unique shop that I never noticed before. Thank God for places like this and I say that because when I go to the mall (and malls are dead by the way) they are all full of the same chains of stores with the same mass produced, over priced products and run by undesirable staff with no respect, care or sincerity. This shop is a well needed breath of fresh air full of items even I would like in my home. Far above Pier One or World Market in quality and run by sincerely nice, friendly, respectable and patient staff - I found some high end items to update my home and will be back often to see what is new. If your local, your in luck. If not, make the drive to spend a day seeing this and other fine shops here. Cheers!!! read more
