This shop is everything you would expect and more. First of all, the owner is fantastic. She is…read moreextremely knowledgeable and has literally every herb and crystal and candle and oil that you could possibly want. She has a black cat. She is fully legit and very kind.... and perhaps most important, she's generous with her knowledge. We stopped by because I wanted to get some uncommon herbs and some oils. The owner makes oils for many purposes and I can't wait to use them. This place has everything your witchy heart could desire. Top notch products, excellent pricing, and an expert owner. You really cannot get better than that. Go to this store immediately!

Gather is one of my favorite shops in the whole wide world. Whenever I have friends or fam come…read morefrom out of town, I bring them here. It's the perfect place to show off how amazing our local art scene is. Gather's a locally focused, curated gift shop filled with homemade things from all kinds of incredibly talented (mostly, if not entirely) Midwestern artists. If you're looking for a gift for an IU grad, a Bloomington friend or family member, or any person anywhere that appreciates art and beautiful things, shop here. They're located on the Square, perfectly situated for walk-in browsing, window shopping, and inevitably, unexpected (or expected) splurging. Items range from jewelry (earrings, necklaces, broches, buttons aren't really jewelry but there are buttons, and so on) to art prints, planters, handmade bibs and toys for kids and babies, to chocolates, bath things, colognes, candles, and more. I can't remember everything because there's just so much. They've adjusted beautifully to the era of coronavirus by shifting things online (not an easy task), pushing for ppl to continue to support artists as they can. Not only that, but they stand for worthy causes. Just this week, they closed early NOT because they were worried about the safety of their staff during the Black Lives Matter protest, but because they wanted their employees to be able to join in! They've also donated to the cause. If I remember correctly (pretty sure I do), they've also supported women's and refugee rights in the recent past, among many other beautiful, worthy causes. Lastly, the shop owner's name is Talia. Beautiful name. Enough said.

It had been a couple years since my last visit, so I decided to stop by and see what this place…read morehad. Upon entering their property, I noticed a gazebo outside and a front porch that were loaded with outdoor items for sale. Inside, the converted house has several rooms worth of items, some seasonal, that included paintings, wall hangings, and generally decorative items. There is a back addition to the business that requires a few steps down. There I found wind chimes and some other larger items that took up too much room to be included in the smaller rooms at the front. The woman working was greeting the customers as they entered and she encouraged visitors to browse around and ask if they had any questions. Though I didn't buy anything this trip, it is a place worth checking out. Review #3241

Above and beyond SERVICE!!!! (AGAIN!!!!)…read more Matt hit it out of the park (AGAIN!!!!!!) . I had an 10+ year-old bag from a high quality brand with some battle scars on it that I wanted fixed. They sent it in to the company and I got a brand new bag back for the mere cost of shipping!!! And it doesn't end there. I started eyeing a slightly bigger (more expensive) bag. I need and have used a big bag for when I go to Europe for three weeks and am always looking for more space! So I asked Matt if I could trade in the new bag for a larger bag. He said yes! He only charged me the difference between the trade in bag and the bag I took home!!! I got a LARGER, BRAND NEW bag, for a fraction of the cost!!! I made it clear to Matt that I was tremendously thankful and that they were awesome. Totally worth it. These guys are great!!!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Twisted Wick Candle Company. I've been buying from them…read morefor YEARS. Every candle, bar of soap, and bottle of essential oil they make is pure magic. Honestly, you can tell how much care and heart they pour into everything they create. I love that it's an entire family business. Husband and wife team, truly sincere and nice couple. Their candles burn beautifully, long-lasting, clean, and the scents better than the Yankee kind. They make awesome gifts as well. I can honestly say their bar soap is the only bar soap I buy. Wonderful scents and doesn't dry out my skin. And I love their essential oils. They are WAY cheaper than Doterra or Young Living and in my opinion, just as good, if not better! Every year I get a laundry list from family members wanting more essential oils for gifts. I love that Twisted Wick gives you that small time feel, supporting a small local business. The craftmanship is 5 Stars and the fact it's a family run business, it couldn't be any cuter. I'll be a lifelong customer! Keep up the great work Twisted Wick!
