3. Products

Our available products may include handcrafted decorations, garden and patio ornaments, decorative figurines, seasonal decorations, DIY craft kits, home accents, and related lifestyle accessories.

Some products may be personalised, customised, or made to order where specifically stated on the applicable product page.

Colours, textures, dimensions, materials, patterns, and finishes may vary slightly because of screen settings, photography, lighting, materials, handmade details, or reasonable manufacturing variations.

Please review the applicable product description, photographs, dimensions, materials, available options, care instructions, and assembly information before placing an order.

4. Product Information and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to present product information accurately. However, product availability, colours, designs, dimensions, materials, and available options may change according to inventory and supplier availability.

We may update, limit, or discontinue products where reasonably necessary. An offer is void where prohibited by law.

If a product becomes unavailable after an order is placed, we may contact you to offer an alternative, provide an updated estimate, or cancel the affected product and issue an applicable refund.

5. Prices and Payment

Prices are shown in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. Shipping charges, taxes, and other applicable fees will be displayed before you submit your order.

You agree to provide accurate and complete billing, payment, and contact information.

Payments are processed by authorised third-party payment service providers. We do not store complete payment card numbers or security codes.

6. Order Acceptance

Submitting an order does not automatically mean that the order has been accepted. We may review, decline, limit, or cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including:

  • Product unavailability;
  • Incorrect product or pricing information;
  • Payment authorisation problems;
  • Suspected fraud or unauthorised activity;
  • Delivery restrictions;
  • Unusually large or duplicate orders; or
  • Orders that reasonably appear to be intended for unauthorised resale.

If we cancel an order after payment has been received, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

7. Order Changes and Cancellations

If you need to change or cancel an order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible and include your order number and requested change.

We cannot guarantee that an order can be changed or cancelled after processing, production, or shipment has started.

Personalised, customised, or made-to-order products may enter production shortly after an order is confirmed. Please review all selected options carefully before submitting your order.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Available shipping destinations, shipping charges, processing times, and estimated transit times are explained in our Shipping Policy or displayed during checkout.

Processing time and transit time are separate. Delivery estimates are not guarantees. Delays may occur because of customs clearance, severe weather, public holidays, carrier disruptions, incorrect addresses, high shipping volumes, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

An order containing multiple products may be shipped in separate packages.

9. Returns, Refunds, and Product Issues

Return eligibility, return timeframes, exclusions, return shipping responsibilities, and refund procedures are explained in our Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy.

Personalised, customised, made-to-order, final-sale, or other excluded products may not qualify for change-of-mind returns where clearly stated before purchase and where permitted by applicable law.

If a product arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete, or materially different from the confirmed order, please contact us promptly with your order number and relevant photographs or videos.

Do not send any product back before receiving return authorisation and the correct return instructions from our customer support team.

If you create a customer account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for activity conducted through your account.

Please contact us promptly if you believe that your account has been accessed or used without authorisation.

We may restrict or suspend an account where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, protect website security, or address a material violation of these Terms of Service.
