Due to the influx of daily inquires about bulk pricing discounts, please read the following -

♥️International customers ~ I HIGHLY recommend purchasing tracking with your shipping. Standard international shipping does not come with tracking info, just a customs number. I can set up a separate listing charge for tracking, so you're able to monitor where your package is. Tracking is an additional $14 (actual USPS charge) along with your shipping fee. If you do not purchase tracking, there's no way that you or I can track where your package is.

Frequently asked questions

How long do the lollipops last?

The lollipops last approximately 4-6 weeks beautifully. After that, they might start to lose their shape and clarity, as they contain no preservatives. Lollipops that don't contain any fresh herbs are still perfectly edible to eat after a month. Humidity can also cause the lollipops to lose their shape.

How can I store the lollipops?

I recommended storing them in a food safe plastic bin, out of direct sunlight. They do not need to be refrigerated.

Can I buy singles of the lollipops?

We have the marshmallow moon single lollipops and hummingbird single dancer lollipops in the etsy shop. These are the only lollipops that we offer singles of at this time.

Is everything edible in your lollipops?

Yes! Everything is food grade, non toxic, and safe for consumption. If you have any specific questions about a certain ingredient, please send me a convo. We purchase all of our ingredients at candy and cake supply retailers.

I like a certain design, but I don't like the flavor. Can I change it?

Yes! Just send me a convo with what flavor you would like, I'm happy to sub flavors. There might be an additional charge for premium flavors.

Do your alcohol flavored lollipops contain actual alcohol?

Nope! Just alcohol candy flavoring.

Can I have a discount on my order?

We do not offer discounts on our lollipops. Everything is made by hand in small batches. We use the finest ingredients available. Lots of the lollipops are highly detailed and require a lot of time and skill creating each and every lolly. Everything is priced accordingly based on materials, time, and labor.

How big are the lollipops?

The standard size mold that I use is a round that’s just under 3”.

Will you donate your lollipops to our event/gift basket/giveaway in exchange for publicity?

We do not offer donations at this time.

Will you send me free lollipops to review on my blog/Instagram in exchange for a promo?

We will not send you free lollipops to review on your blog. You are welcomed to purchase our lollipops and write about them on whichever platform that you choose.
