Candle lovers could easily spend several hours in Waxman Candles. Not only does this iconic store on Massachusetts Street offer an astonishing array of candles, but they're also smokeless and dripless, with many hours of burn time. Want to get a whiff of Asia or the 'Holidaze'? Purchase a candle that's packaged in a lightweight tin container.
Love cinnamon rolls but hate the calories? Buy a candle that looks so good you could almost eat it.
Take a trip to the Southwest as a stubby column candle decorated with saguaro cacti burns bright on your table; or travel to the tropics with a substantial, round, palm-festooned orb.
Waxman Candles also stocks an enormous variety of rounded and squared column candles that will create a dramatic effect while standing several feet tall on
any dining or buffet table. 
If you're lucky you'll get to talk with Waxman Candles founder, Bob Werts, during your visit. More than 30 years after Werts began his business, he still inhabits his original location with all the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store.
Isn't there some conventional wisdom that says, "If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life?"
Waxman Candles also has a store in Chicago and sells through its web site.
My mother-in-law owned a floral/gift shop many years ago and she still talks about the amazing candles she purchased from The Waxman!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to visit this place. Thanks for the reminder!
I love Waxman candles and shop there every time I visit Lawrence. My last visit I bought a K and red wax to seal my letters. Awesome!
