A Pennsylvania gift shop in Bartonsville offers leisurely shopping with calming scents. We all have our own ideas of what makes the most relaxing day. If your perfect day of enjoying free time includes a bit of shopping, you'll likely fall head-over-heels at this massive store. Uncover the ideal surprise for a special occasion — or perhaps even better — treat yourself. After all, you're sure to find quite a few gems at this large shop in Pennsylvania.

Don't let the name fool you — the Shoppes at American Candle is all about candles and so much more.

The store opened in 1978 to offer quality service and products to the people visiting or living around the Pocono Mountains.

And the success shines through the additional products lining the shelves.

This isn't your average get-in-and-get-out gift shop, especially if you want to see everything that this 30,000-square-foot popular Poconos destination has to offer. Give yourself enough time to see everything.

Some high-end brands also adorn the shelves offering jewelry, art, figurines, and a boutique just for women!

Names such as Vera Bradley, Precious Moments, and Swarovski are in the mix. If you can't make it to the store, you can shop online.

And of course, the delightful selection of candles is originally why we came.

Folks will find American Candle’s line of products along with Woodwick and many other brands. Breathe in the sweet aroma of each until you find just the right one.

You'll find a little bit of everything at this enormous place including home decor, collectibles, jewelry, and cute garden ideas.

However, that's just the beginning of the fun: With more than 100 barrels chock-full of candy and other goodies, the gift shop boasts the largest candy room in the area.

Visitors will recognize old favorites, such as malted milk balls, root beer barrels, and Swedish fish. Or try something new - it's challenging to decide what to pick.

Check out the selection of fudge, too, and grab a cold treat at Rolley's Ice Cream.

We enjoy the variety of inventory available at the Shoppes at American Candle.

Any time's a good time to start thinking about the next holiday.

Stock up on unique decorations and other decor during your visit.
