Holiday Shipping Guide
As the holiday season approaches, you’ve probably got shopping on your mind, whether you’re purchasing gifts for friends, family, or yourself! Please allow for additional processing and shipping time due to an influx of orders and the handmade nature of our pieces, and the current COVID-19 climate. The postal service has currently suspended international shipments to certain countries listed here. To make sure your order gets to you on time, please place it as soon as possible. We have several suggested order deadlines** for you to keep in mind so that your order will arrive before Christmas Day (12/25). These are not hard deadlines, but estimates by the US Postal Service. We hope this helps you with your holiday gift planning!
