We had a great time celebrating Mother's Day here at The Candle Bar! This was our first time making…read moreour own candles and we couldn't have asked for a batter instructor. We came in late (due to the limited parking) so I missed the name of our instructor but she was friendly and knowledgeable. I believe it's about $55-60 per person and each person gets to make two 7oz candles. Personalized touches Include: scent choice and naming the candle. The scents here are great! It was fun exploring all the different notes and profiles. The class is about an hour and everything is provided. As a "student" you get to melt down your wax, smell/ pick your scents, mix scents, pour wax, mix the candle, add your wick, and label your candle. The process is really fast. The longest part is waiting for your candle to cool down/ dry. We were given an estimate between 3.5-4 hours. So plan your day around the area or come in the following day for pick up. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested. Perfect for solo date, girls night, date night, etc.

This store is where I can go crazy on buying tons of random cute items. They have ridiculously soft and cute plushies of various sizes, novelty socks, candles, cups, puzzles, holiday decor, general home decor, figurines, gift-wrapping paper, and more! I visited in January and the post-holiday sales were superb. I'm talking 50-75% off all holiday items. The sales associates were great - there to answer questions and help when needed, but not pushy or in your face. I walked away with several bags of goodies. What an entertaining day of window-shopping turned real shopping.

The selection of individual stuff was a bit lacking but they did have a lot of stuff (for example, not a lot of Jellycat plushies or Ravensburger puzzles or Baggu bags but they managed to have these items). The candle/perfume and apothecary sections were heavily scented and honestly kind of sickening. Things are priced ABSURDLY here. I saw a shot glass for $200. It's a place to walk with friends & guffaw at the prices. Be careful walking around the glassware - one stumble could cost you thousands. I managed to purchase a bowl for $8, discounted because it was missing the chopsticks that accompany it, & the cashier ran after me after checkout to give me the chopsticks ($16) for free because she found them after I checked out. Great customer service.

The River Oaks location is a wonderful addition to the brand. The manager, Rosa is absolutely…read moreoutstanding. The associates are attentive and helpful without hovering, a balance between service and allowing customers to browse comfortably. What I especially appreciate is the atmosphere. Unlike many of the Houston stores that are often crowded with demanding customers, this location maintains a calm, pleasant environment that makes shopping enjoyable. It truly feels like a hidden gem. It's also one of the few BBW stores in Houston that I haven't witnessed the constant, brazen shoplifting that has unfortunately become commonplace in retail and especially in this crime ridden city. Combined with the exceptional merchandise and thoughtfully curated inventory, the River Oaks store offers a refined shopping experience that keeps me coming back. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop in Houston.

So many choices! I did place my order online and their system to make your purchase is very easy. I opted to pick up my online order at the store. I was immediately greeted and directed to where I could pick up my online order. This was a simplified process. I decided to get another scent that I did not order online, as well as trade out one that I had ordered online for something I liked better. They worked with me and were so gracious in allowing me to make my trade out, and I appreciated it. There was a scent that I wanted that this location ran out of, they were kind enough to call the neighboring store for assistance (their Rice Village location) just minutes away. The Rice Village location had what I needed and then some! Something that really impressed me about the Rice Village team was how friendly and warm they were! Their customer service was on 10! Cudos to them! Over all a great experience! Of course, I will be back.
