Personalisation

The majority of my items can be personalised free of charge. To do this please enter the required initials/name/date in the personalisation section before adding the item to your cart. The letters used will be 7mm tall and UPPERCASE only.

Custom Orders

I LOVE custom orders! Have something more bespoke in mind? Let me help you turn your idea into reality. Drop me a message :)

Gift wrapping and packaging

All orders are sustainably gift-wrapped or boxed ready to be given as a gift. I do my best to avoid using unnecessary plastics in the packaging.

If you want to send an gift order directly to the recipient and do not want the pricing to be displayed on the receipt, please mark the order as a 'gift'. A gift reciept will be included instead.
