I just thought I would mention a little shop that I know of down there. It is called Wick-It Good Candles, and they are located in Point Pleasant. They specialize in scented candles. They will do custom ones for events (such as for wedding favors, etc.)They double-scent the candles, so they are more strongly scented than Yankee Candles, but of the same quality of wax, etc. The real draw is the fragrances: some of their house specialties are named Atlantic City Gold, Sea Girt, Lavalette, Point Pleasant, Long Beach Island, Bay Head, and Cape May Victorian. My favorite is Sea Glass.
I know folks on here are familiar with the shore points in New Jersey, and I thought I wouldshare this little spot with you. You can see the scent descriptions here:

Have fun walking down memory lane!
