Joy & Light

A beautiful store with lots of handmade items! The candles are personally my favorite! Plenty of things to see and buy. Also the owners are amazing and super friendly. You won't regret stopping in.

We never fail to find the perfect gift for someone here and they are always unique and special. You never see them in other places. In a pinch, Ive even called the owners and they have helped me out over the phone. They are really great guys, have wonderful taste and are very patient and fun. I particularly love that they sell free trade items. All you have to do to put some Joy and Light into your life is to follow the fabulous smell (their handmade candles) on Craven Street.

Amazing little shop in Downtown New Bern. The owners are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. As soon as you walk in the door you're hit with a feeling of calm and some of the most amazing aromas! Update: Still the best place in New Bern to go for candles! I picked up a bath bomb this afternoon and a new candle to relax after a stressful week. Oh my goodness! The second the lemon verbena bath bomb touched the water, the entire room was engulfed with its lovely scent. My skin felt so soft afterwards, and it didn't leave a residue in my tub. I will definitely be buying more!!!
