My wife wanted to check it out for Christmas gifts. It was well organized and they had a lot of inventory. Tons of small gift ideas. They make their own candles on site which is pretty cool. The prices seem a little high. The store was clean and prices were visible on everything. This kind of merchandise isn't really my thing so I likely wouldn't be going back unless my wife drags me again (or if I'm looking for stocking stuffers for my wife) but it's a very well done store.

Had a little bit of time before meeting my friend for brunch and had to stop by witty wicks to see what's new!! I love going here mainly for gifts. Did a little Christmas shopping here last year but I mostly go here for little things to add as closing gifts for my clients (home buyers and sellers since I'm a Realtor). As far as what's new - oh my gourd! They have all things fall. Absolutely love black and white Buffalo check/plaid and they have a whole section dedicated to it. Of course, this place always smells amazing due to witty wicks candles so it's impossible to not

The candles are soy and burn so clean and smell so much better than the ones you buy in big box stores. Poured on-site, this woman-owned, woman-led local business also features a large gift shop full of cool things for everyone. Need a unique gift? Witty Wicks can definitely send you with a one-of-a-kind gift that's sure to satisfy!!
