OUR FOUNDER

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will my item be personalized?
Yes! Every Pepperbird gift is personalized.
When placing your order, please enter your personalization details on the product page. Double check all spelling or punctuation before submitting your order. Your order will be made with the exact text you input.
Because each product is handmade to order, your item will vary slightly from the image you see online. We custom design your personalization to fit the product perfectly.
If you have a specific vision for your item, please reach out before placing your order to ensure your specific execution is possible. Prices may increase for custom commissions of this nature.
Do you offer gift wrap?
Yes - we are proud to offer gift wrapping services. Please add "gift wrap" to each product on the product page. Each item is wrapped individually.
We wrap using an eco-friendly compostable kraft paper, frayed chiffon ribbon, and a handwritten note card with the message of your choice. Please note our chiffon ribbons are not compostable, but are high-quality and perfect for reuse.
What is the return policy?
Unfortunately we cannot accept returns on personalized merchandise.
We want you to love your order! Please reach out if you are dissatisfied in any way - we'll do our best to make it right.
When will I get my order?
All products are made to order - once your order is placed, we will get to work handcrafting your unique personalization. Please see item listing for specifics on lead times - production time varies for each item.
How can I get my order faster?
Due to the handmade nature of our gifts, we cannot fulfill rush orders.
Depending on the type of clay used for your item, some details take 7 full days to dry! Additional time is needed for hand painting, packing, sculpting, etc. We appreciate your patience as we craft your items with care.
Where are your products manufactured?
All clay details are handmade in the USA, mostly from USA-sourced raw materials. Our studio is located in Atlanta, GA and all work is performed there.
Other components (like acrylic boxes, photo frames, packaging) are proudly imported from Taiwan and China. We work with best-in-class suppliers to source high quality components from all over the globe.
We believe in transparency in sourcing and are happy to provide details on the origin of our components. Please contact us for more info.
Are your shipping materials compostable?
Yes! We've worked hard to ensure all Pepperbird shipping materials are curbside compostable. This includes the shipping envelope, label, tape, foam wrap, and gift wrapping paper.
Please note that some components are not backyard compostable - for best results we recommend disposing of all components through a curbside (commercial) composting program.
Is my Pepperbird gift compostable too?
Nope! Our items are durable goods intended to be treasured for a lifetime.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
Do you take custom commissions?
Yes! Please reach out if you're interested in working together on a commission.
What does "Pepperbird" mean?
Our name was inspired by the handmade birds decorating the nursery of our founder, Amanda Edwards. Pepperbird was imagined over long nights feeding her two young sons. "Pep" refers to the cheerful nature of our gifts, and the upbeat whimsy our products evoke.
Product safety
We love kids and take product safety very seriously. Our products should always be used under adult supervision. Our items include small parts that can detach and pose a choking hazard to children under 3. Our products are not toys, and are intended for decorative purposes only. Display out of reach of children.
