Waxman is an example of a really great local store. They definitely know what they're doing when they make candles, and their pride in their work shows - they provide instructions for how to properly burn candles. Prices are higher than you'd pay at somewhere like Target or Wal-Mart, of course, but it's definitely worth the extra cost for the excellent quality. There's a good selection of non-scented candles, too, for those who might not want scented candles.
