Without local shops, shoppers would buy gifts exclusively from in-flight catalogs, forcing fathers to sneak into airplane wheel wells on Black Friday to order spy-camera blenders for their children. Enjoy earthbound browsing with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of body products, aromatic candles, and jewelry at Angel Essence Candles and Natural Body Products, located on Peake Road.

Angel Essence enlivens bodies and homes with olfactory-tickling and skin-enriching products made from mostly all-natural ingredients. Shoppers can moisturize guilt-free with 8 ounces of unscented vegan shea body butter ($18) or cleanse dirty mouths with a bar of cucumber melon glycerin soap ($5). Angel Essence's selection of hand-poured, organic-soy wax wonders can brighten darkened crawl spaces into romantically lit, perfumed settings using an 8-ounce cinnamon stix candle ($6.25), or turn haunted houses into fruitier smelling haunted houses with a 16-ounce Yuzu candle that emits the fragrance of fresh japanese grapefruit and mandarin orange. Voguish jewelry, such as mother-of-pearl-and-marcasite earrings ($15), bedazzles newly preened exteriors with sterling silver and glimmering baubles.

Angel Essence is committed to hunting down or handcrafting all-natural products, good for both body and soul, and the majority of its shelves are stocked with vegan and paraben-free elixirs. Lit candles waft phthalate-free fragrances across abodes, and sprays, creams, and soaps do the same across the body's own aluminum siding.
