Good to know

How does shipping work?

Each maker packs and ships its own items, so shipping is calculated per maker at checkout, usually $8 to $15 for a single item. Adding more from the same maker spreads the cost; the product page shows what else they make.

Can I send this as a gift?

Yes. Enter the recipient's address at checkout and add a gift note in the cart. Perishable items go out Monday to Wednesday in insulated packaging so they never sit over a weekend.

What if I want more than one maker?

Mix as many makers as you like in one cart with one checkout and no account. Each maker ships its own box.

Are these really under $25?

Every pick on this page is priced under $25 before shipping and is in stock right now. Prices come straight from the makers; the list refreshes as inventory changes.
