SINGLE PACKAGING FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS:
To be more sustainable, we consciously try to reduce the amount of materials used in packaging.
When buying more than one kit or canvas, we will always try to fit them into a single packaging tube or box that best fits their size, and as they are for the same person we will only include 1 printed needlepoint booklet.
However, if you buy a gift wrapping or add an order note at checkout letting us know that you are buying a gift, we make sure that the kits are shipped in individual packaging.
