Frequently asked questions

What is a good gift for a mom who has everything?

Choose something she will use up or use daily, such as a candle, a mug or a journal, rather than another decoration.

Can I send the gift straight to her?

Yes. Enter her address as the shipping address at checkout.

Do these gifts ship worldwide?

Most items do. Delivery takes longer internationally, and customs duties or taxes, if any, are the customer’s responsibility.
