Tremendous customer service and fantastic products from this small, female-owned business!…read more I'm from LA, but discovered this shop when I was in town on a dive trip and I took a couple small gifts home with me and have since ordered online from them over the years and despite the passage of time, the quality of both the product and customer service has never wavered. I know they also offer candle making classes that seem to be very popular, as well as, sprays, paintings and other gift giving goods. If you have an upcoming birthday or holiday, you'll never go wrong ordering gifts from Sea Oats.

You're greeted by a friendly face and a warm welcome upon walking in. We were walked through the process of choosing our scents, candle size and got to work. We created two candles, (1) large and (1) small. The process was fun, and we enjoyed learning how candles are made. They did an amazing job explaining every step. Simple, fun and a unique experience! You get to name your candles! Choosing a fun, uniqure name added to the experience. We named our candles and were told we needed to wait for them to set before we picked them up. They would call us when they were ready, which was a few hours later. We bought a car diffuser and wax melt while we were in store. By the way, I had to come BACK later in the week and buy another one because I regretted not buying one for my car. Do yourself a favor, buy one for every car. You won't regret it. We picked up our candles, which were beautfiully wrapped and packaged to perfection! We kept the lid on them for a few days before burning them for the first time. Once we burned them, we were sold! The wax melts burned beautifully, and the scent filled the room. Usually you have to scrape the old wax off, but their wax melts pop right off! (I'm never buying another wax melt from anyone else.) This is a perfect date night spot, girls night out, or just a fun experience with friends, family or yourself! Support your local small business! Great people, great service, and quality products!

The candles are also soy based and burn cleaner (according to the store owner). I definitely like the approach. All the candles are white/off white in color so it will go well with any decor and the scents are not overwhelming. They have their go-to scents that are popular as well as seasonal scents, but you really can't go wrong with any candle purchased here for personal use (or gifting). The staff/owner was super friendly and helped me pick out a scent for a house warming gift.
