Gift Wrapping & Notes
Nothing that arrives shows a price. Every order leaves without an invoice in the box, so anything you send straight to someone else is already safe to open in front of them.
No prices, ever, in the package
- Prices never appear on anything inside the package.
- Your receipt goes to your email, not to their doormat.
- This is automatic. There is no box to check and nothing to remember at checkout.
Adding a note
There are two different places to write, and they do different jobs. Mixing them up is the single most common mistake we see.
| Where | Who reads it | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| The personalization box on the item | The shop — it goes onto the piece | A name, a date, initials, or a short message that goes on the item itself |
| Gift Message box at checkout (it appears when you choose “Ship to a friend”) | The shop — it goes in the box | “Happy birthday, Mom” |
Type it exactly as you want it to read. The shop copies it letter for letter, capitals and spacing included — GRACE and Grace come out as two different pieces. Personalization is free. Some listings offer paid upgrades, like a larger size, and those prices show on the listing before you add it to your cart. How it works: How Personalization Works.
How things are wrapped
Every shop packs its own orders, so the paper is not identical across the site — and that is deliberate. What you can expect:
- Wrapped to survive shipping, not a photo shoot. Shops pack it to arrive safely, and damage is always covered.
- Presentable on arrival. Most shops wrap each item in tissue or paper, so it’s usually ready to hand over as it is.
- Ask, and many will go further. If you want ribbon, a particular color, or the note handwritten, message the shop. Many are glad to help when they can.
Sending it straight to the person
- 1Put their address as the shipping addressYour billing address stays yours. Only the shipping address goes on the label.
- 2Write your message in the Gift Message boxSo they know who it is from before they open anything.
- 3Check the dateEvery order takes the shop’s handling time plus shipping time. The cutoff dates are on Shipping Deadlines.
More than one shop in the order
Items from different shops are packed and shipped separately, sometimes from different countries, so they can arrive on different days. Each one arrives without prices. If they are all going to the same person for the same occasion, message the shops and they will usually try to line the dates up.
If it arrives wrong
A note that did not make it in, or a name spelled wrong, is fixable. Message the shop first — and if that does not resolve it, Ettee Purchase Protection covers anything the shop got wrong, reported within 30 days of delivery.
