T H E M E // P E R S O N A L I Z A T I O N
Each surprise box contains vintage hard goods and small home items that we curate in the style of your choosing. The more we know about you or the recipient, the better we can tailor to their style.

Some things to include might be, who its going to (you, your partner, best friend, son's teacher) personal style, lifestyle, age range (vintage to a 16 year old is very different than vintage to a 60 year old) home aesthetic, colors, time periods, likes/dislikes, hobbies, things they collect, favorite animals, significant places, anything you’d like us to know to help select your items. The better your description the better job I'm able to do! A picture is truly worth a thousand words so if they have a Pinterest account or public instagram, send it on over, decor pics work too. No worries if that's not possible.

Example: For me, just left NYC for a cozy life upstate, eclectic, maximalist home (bar neons, old paintings, tiger statues), black cats, I cook, drink, travel, work from home, retro kitchen, botanical bathroom, collect New Jersey souvenirs, nautical art, novelty items, rock and roll, roadside attractions. Hello, it's me, Chelsea, I'll be selecting your items.

***Please note that while you may request certain items and I'll absolutely do my best, items are subject to availability and cost. Rare, collectible, highly sought after or larger items that won't fit in a 12"- 14" box likely cannot be fulfilled, examples: vintage globes, wet specimens, rare antique oddities that cost more than the box, most prints. Please also note that these are vintage items and people in the past largely didn't adorn their homes with skull motifs and other overt examples of the macabre.

S I Z E S

All shipping is included and the total value always meets or exceeds the cost of the box!

Please note that deluxe or boxes with certain types of requests may take longer to put together, if this is the case, we'll send you a message.

If you're interested in putting together a larger or more specific gift, in terms of number of items or the items’ value, we can work with you collaboratively (less mystery) on curating the perfect gift for your love one, message us with what you're envisioning and what your budget is and we can work together on it and then set up a private listing for you.

P A C K A G I N G
Items will be packaged securely for shipping over presentation, we want your gift to arrive safely, but we'll be sure to make it as cute as we can!

C O N D I T I O N
Please note that you are purchasing vintage items and some pre-loved wear, vintage patina should be expected. An item may have a small flaw that doesn't disrupt the integrity of the piece/wouldn't be immediately noticeable. You will not receive a fundamentally broken or damaged item in your box. Your items will arrive in a general state of cleanliness, but most items are left in their original condition so you can choose how you'd like to restore, upcycle or display them.
