There may be other items as well, but those are the three things I saw people making while we were there. The space is small and hard to find. Inside, there's one table that seats about 8 people, so just know there is a good chance you'll be sharing your time with someone else. They have a huge variety of scents and colors you can use for your soap and candles. They are very easy to make, and all 6 of ours turned out great. Keep in mind that the soap takes about 30 minutes to make and about an hour to harden before you can take it home. We didn't plan for that, so I thought I should note it.

This place is such a cute hidden gem for board game lovers in Winter Park!…read more It's a cozy shop with a small but well curated selection of games. Despite the limited selection, there was a good diversity of different types of games including some of my favorites, some I've been wanting to try, and some I had never heard of! One of the coolest features of the shop is the incredible selection of candles and wax melts inspired by tabletop gaming. Although they are especially exciting for gamers, I think anyone who loves scents shouldn't miss this line. They had a buy 3, get 1 free promotion so we decided to buy 8 wax melts and had such a hard time narrowing it down to just 8! So far I've been enjoying the "Temple" scent in my house but can't wait to use the other 7 and hopefully try some more eventually. I can't wait to stop back in to the Crafty Gamer. I also saw that they sometimes host candle-making classes and other events, so hopefully I can visit for one of those soon!

As a fan of deals and fun experiences, this was totally in my element. We paid $25 a person with the discount and an additional $5 for paint balloons and $5 for two squirt guns filled with paint. We also got two canvases and we're able to pick our colors and got the room to ourselves. We had fun throwing the paint on our canvases as well as each other. They do provide bunny suits and visors to make sure that you don't get dirty. They also gave me a Ziploc bag that I could put my phone in and a lanyard so I could easily access it. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out and doing the splatter Quest!

I really liked that there were seasonal as well as household name banners and friendly welcoming phrases. I love making stuff like this. For what you pay you get a nice little keepsake, or even something you can give away. There are also several different priced items so you don't feel like you HAVE pay a fortune.

Reluctantly rating Bowes Candles as "Not good" on the basis that I have not received the item I…read morepaid for, and I have been given no solution but to pay more money in order to receive it. I visited the lovely shop in-person to purchase three scent oils. When I got home to the UK, I discovered that they had given me an incorrect product with the wrong label. I emailed Bowes my $19.17 receipt and asked if I could return the oil for an exchange (as long as shipping and import fees were covered). Bowes offered to send a replacement, or for me to have online store credit. However, Bowes declined to cover the import fees I would be charged for either solution, because they could not determine what they would cost. This was understandable, so I asked for a simple refund to save us all the hassle. Bowes also declined to provide a refund. We went back and forth for over 2 weeks, with 13 emails. I kept trying to suggest workarounds that they might be happy with and wouldn't mean I had to spend more money, but these were not acknowledged. Bowes' tone was friendly, but it soon felt robotic, and they showed zero expression of understanding towards the fact that they were giving me no option but to pay towards the process of fixing their mistake. It is my understanding that, according to business standards, when a business does not fulfil their end of the sale, the resolution for their failure should not leave the customer financially disadvantaged. In the end, I politely told them that I would withdraw and leave a review, but I wanted to give them one last chance. I said "are you able to offer a solution to Bowes' mistake that will not leave me financially disadvantaged (i.e. spending money on the import fee)? As mentioned, I would be glad to engage to figure out something that works for us both." It has now been a week, and I have received no response. All this could have been resolved for both parties if Bowes had just sent a refund, but they did not even acknowledge the predicament they had put me in, and now I am $19.17 short. I would be willing to remove this review if Bowes gets back in touch to resolve the issue accordingly.

I'm really disappointed with our purchase at bowes signature candles…read more Walking in, the person working at the location asks where we are staying?? I said The Grand Floridian so she brings us to a candle section that has the same scent as the hotel. Under Disney guidelines, they can't call the candle The Grand Floridian Candle but she gives us a nudge saying this is the same scent. I bought three items, one for my son who loves The Boardwalk Hotel. I have my purchase, The Grand Floridian Car Scent. I'm on the plane doin' a happy dance: My car is gonna smell like Disney. Woo hoo! Yeah.. For a day. The scent was so weak! When I came back to Disney during Christmas, I went back to the store and said there's no scent in these items. The counter woman apologized and gave us a small bottle to add more scent. I went home, I added a bunch of liquid to this thing. I'm still not getting anything that smells like a Disney hotel.

I had to keep reminding myself to pace myself and not to drink too fast. It was that good. It was not too strong and tasted great. Calliope Street offers painting classes. You only need 4 people minimum for a private party. They not only provide slushies but also offer other alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages for purchase. Now is the time to visit and enjoy everything Calliope has to offer. Calliope Street will be closing after December as the owner is retiring.

She also invited me to come back in and give them another shot. I came in and was greeted by two amazing young women. They showed me the specials menu which was only available for limited time but some of those need to be available year round! I ordered the same drink I have gotten in the past, felt hat, and it was perfect. I was also gifted a mini art kit so I could add to their collection. Again, this was not expected or needed at all but I do appreciate when an owner takes pride in their business and cares enough to take the time and reach out to make sure a customer not only feels heard but appreciated. Will most definitely be back and continue to spread the good word!

It had the right amount of sweetness for me, and a great banana flavor. It tasted exactly what others mentioned yesterday, like a banana bread. I forgot what was the foam on top, but it tasted more like coffee, and pepped me up a bit. It was definitely an enjoyable drink... Much better than Starbucks. I would say it was a bit pricey for 6.50, but with the 5 dollar coupon given to us at the event, paying 1.50 before tips was a great deal. I wish the cafe wasn't close to the soccer stadium as it can get crowded during an event. Plus, it's in an area that may be questionable, especially at night. But luckily, they are open only during the days, and they got free and ample parking. So this is definitely a great place to grab a cup of caffeine and pastry before heading to work. Overall: A
