I previously brought home the Peach Bellini candle and not only does it smell AMAZING, but it lasts so long! If you bring back your finished candle jar they will also give you 10% off your purchase, which is a great incentive for sustainability. They also offer items like a rechargeable lighter, which I'm in LOVE with since it reduces the waste associated with candles (plastic lighters, lighter fluid, matches, etc.). Aside from candles, you can also find various pillows, throws, kitchen utensils, bath bombs, plant accessories, jewelry, and locally made treats... for both humans and pets alike and most are locally sourced brands (e.g., 210 Teas, Syracuse Soapworks, etc.)! This is a great place for gifts, and they even offer recycled wrapping paper! The most charming part of the store, in my opinion, is their variety of bee-themed items. The bee pattern they use on their fabric items is super cute but they also have items like decorative metal bee-shaped wall hooks and, of course, honey. Their wax melts are in honeycomb shapes, as well! If you like to decorate for the holidays, you're in luck, because this shop also offers rotating sustainable seasonal items! Last time I visited, they had picks for Easter, which included items such as painted wooden eggs and ceramic egg trays. Currently they have a gift set for Mother's Day which includes sustainable self-care items from several local brands. Every time I come in there's something new and different! Now my new routine every time I visit Syracuse is to stop by Beekind and grab a latte from Recess next door. One of my favorite places in Syracuse!

Every item we carry in our gift shop is handpicked with our customers in mind. We strive to provide our loyal shoppers with something new, affordable, and distinctive. We find the beauty in artwork created by several talented local artists such as pottery, hand-painted black and white checked items, stained glass, knitted sweaters, hand-sewn home décor, and recycled/repurposed wood items. We work closely with them in much of their design to accommodate the needs of our customers and friends.

If you're looking for something other than the overly chemically scented, and often nauseating, fragrance from the shopping mall brands then this is the place for you. With tongue in cheek names like "Big D Energy" and "Material Girl" you're sure to find a scent that speaks to your personality. I purchased two large candles and some wax melts. The candles burn clean and even. And the scents are just divine! There's even a service to refill your glass once you're done with them! How cool is that?

Someone suggested this shop to me. I had some last minute Christmas shopping to do and decided to…read morepop in slightly before closing one Saturday afternoon. The shop is small, but it is decorated so cutely! Seriously stylish aesthetics. I especially love their flower wall, which they said they made themselves. There is a good selection of candles, many of which have sassy names like Cereal-ously Delicious and That's What She Said. I went with one called Momma's Kitchen, which smelled like warm cinnamon cookies. Candles were a bit on the pricey side compared to some other local makers, however I don't mind spending to support local for special occasions that require gifts every now and then. The staff was also very kind. Admittedly, a bit out of my range to buy regularly but a fine occasional splurge.

After two months of inactivity, I finally tried it with my childhood friend, and it was the perfect bonding experience. The vibes here are absolutely immaculate - definitely a great spot for a date (lots of couples around!), but friends will have an amazing time too. A special shoutout to Jordan (I hope I'm spelling her name right!) - she is hands-down the best person ever! She made the entire experience super fun and memorable. Jordan, I love you! Thank you for turning our candle-making day (my perfume making day) into something so special. If you're looking for a fun and creative way to spend time with someone, I highly recommend coming here. It was totally worth it!! :)

We had a blast smelling together, drinking wine, and coming up with the names and ideas for our candles.

I did the math and $20.23 add on for tax exceeds 8 %. I called the store to ask about the charge and was greeted by an answering machine narrated by the owner Mr Non-Personality giving directions to the store ONLY and the machine does not take messages. How convenient. I will not be spending my $$$ at this place any longer. Someone in town told me the guy probably added on a $10.00 fee for using my debit card. Scam. Also, The owner should hire someone who knows how to be friendly to the customers. He certainly lacks that ability.
