Please allow 2-3 days processing time on custom mystery boxes (ships in 2-3 days). This includes express shipping orders!
GIFT WRAPPING- Novemeber 1st-December 15th (or until sold out) you will have the additional option to have your mystery box gift wrapped in fantastically seasonal Nightmare Before Christmas paper complete with ribbon. This means you can either order a Christmas present for yourself to pop under your tree or get it sent straight to family or a friend to pop under theirs.
Warning!
Our mystery boxes will contain weird & sometimes whacky oddities! Our oddities are real, local & handcrafted. Our items are considered to be a luxury and prices may be higher than your standard mass production items.
Please do not ask us for anything "weird" if you are easily disturbed.
From the curiosity cabinet mystery boxes can contain anything from our store, collection, or items that haven't been listed and are mystery box exclusive.
Our new mystery boxes allow you to customise your experience to a certain degree while maintaining the mystery of letting us pick your items!
Mystery boxes may be shipped separately. If you purchase additional items (over 500g net weight), they will come in a separate package. There is no additional cost or hidden shipping cost other than what you are charged at the checkout.
(All mystery boxes are to the value of [your selected amount]. They may be slightly over budget, but we guarantee they'll never be under your budget. There are no requests, returns or refunds for mystery box items, they are sold as a mystery only.)
Less Items does not equal lesser value. More items does not necessarily mean more value.
We support and respect creators and their prices. We ask you show the same respect also.

Sourcing
No animal products are CITES listed or protected species. The term ethical is subjective and we all have our different meaning of the word and what we believe is or is not ethical. Please see some of our other item listings, we will tell you whenever possible how our animal products are sourced. Always feel free to reach out to discuss the sourcing of our items, this is a topic we won't just sweep under the rug.
FAQ
I don't think my box is worth what I paid can I please get some more items shipped to me?
A lot of our mystery box items are based off our in-store prices & the work of others. We do not dictate what an individual charges for their own work, time & efforts. No other items will be issued for these requests unless you are missing an item by accident.
I do not like my items and I am disapointed, can I get a full refund even if I do not return the items?
No, we do not issue a refund if you do not return your items. A mystery box is advertised as a mystery, if there is an item in our store you want in particular its more cost effective for you to purchase the item instead of hoping it comes in a mystery box.
I am missing something in my mystery box, can you reship the item?
While mistakes happen and we are only human, all mystery box items over $100 are recorded. Unfortunetaly we have had a few people try and tell us they did not receive a all their items and removing the item before taking a photograph. This situation came to light after we suspected certain indivuals were doing it so we photographed the boxes before they shipped out. If you are missing an item we can certainly help you by reshipping, replacing or refunding the cost of that item.
