How to order a custom-made item?

I love creating custom orders and try to fulfill as many as I can!

Please keep in mind:

  • Waiting time depends on my current workload and is usually 2–5 weeks.

  • International shipping adds 1–3 weeks, depending on the destination.

Before ordering, please consider:

  • Custom-made items are unique, author-designed pieces, and take more time to create.

  • Prices are higher than for ready-made toys due to the extra time and work involved.

If you’d like to request a special item, email me at lilleliis@gmail.com. We’ll go over all the important details—possibility, timeline, pricing, and more!

Safety and care instructions for handmade toys

Each toy is lovingly handmade, which means they do not comply with official safety standards. While every detail—like safety eyes, buttons, and ribbons—is securely attached, these small parts may pose a risk to very young children. Please supervise children during play and avoid leaving them unattended with the toy.

Cleaning Instructions:
To preserve the toy’s softness and shape, I recommend gentle handwashing:

  • Use warm water and a small amount of mild detergent

  • Do not twist the toy—gently squeeze out excess water

  • Lay flat to dry on a towel; drying time may take several days depending on the yarn and size of the toy
