Candlefish

Remember the last time you thought to yourself “All I want to do right now is drink Sauvignon Blanc and pour steaming-hot custom-scented wax into little, trendy glass jars?” Okay, probably never, but it sounds pretty great right? Well, look no further than Candlefish, the one-stop-shop for all things candles.

Started in 2014, Candlefish on King Street now boasts a fragrance library of handcrafted candles in 100 different scents, a curated selection of gifts and accessories, and BYOB candle making workshops. And no, these candles are not like the “buy 3, get 3” Bath & Body Works candles you impulsively stocked-up on last Black Friday. These candles are like the ones perched on top of expensive coffee-table books at Anthropologie that you just can’t walk by without picking up and smelling.

          

While their gift selection is impressive, their bestseller is actually their candle making workshop classes. Bring your own bottle and a few of your girlfriends, for just $55, you can make two of your own custom scented candles (they will even ship them home for you!). Essentially, it's a combination of the two best things in life: booze and things that smell good.

Candlefish ranks an impressive score due to their unique offering and noteworthy customer service. The sales associates could pretty much sell you on anything from brushed-gold candle snuffers to artisan matches. So next time you need a gift for the girl who has everything or are just in the market for a candle that smells like a Bloody Mary, head to Candlefish on King Street.
