Bigger Items, Better Prices, and 2026 Updates

Bigger Items, Better Prices, and 2026 Updates

Can you believe it has been a full year since we launched? It feels like just yesterday we were packing our first orders of incense and small accessories. We are incredibly grateful for the support you’ve shown us in our first year of business.

As we look toward 2026, we have some very exciting news and important updates to share with you regarding how our shop works.

We Are Growing

Starting soon, we plan to expand our catalog and list a new range of home accessories! We are talking about wall art, desktop decor, vases, and maybe larger accessory pieces to complete your space.

New Shipping Policy: Effective January 05, 2026

Because we are moving from primarily lightweight items to larger, heavier goods, our shipping model needs to evolve.

In our first year, we offered unconditional free shipping on everything. While we loved doing that, it often forced us to price small items higher to cover the shipping costs on single-item orders.

To sustain this new inventory, and more importantly to allow us to lower the prices on many of our smaller items, we are updating our shipping policy starting in 2026:

The New Rates:

For US & Canada orders:

  • Over $49 USD: FREE Standard Shipping
  • Under $49 USD: $6.99 USD Flat Rate

For International (Outside US & Canada) orders:

  • Over $79 USD: FREE Standard Shipping
  • Under $79 USD: $9.99 USD Flat Rate


Our Commitment to Better Pricing

By separating shipping costs, we no longer have to "bake" the shipping price into smaller items. This change allows us to be more transparent with our pricing and ensures we can continue bringing you high-quality, larger home goods without compromising on service.

The Transition

These changes go into effect on January 05, 2026. Until then, our current unconditional free shipping policy remains in effect! It’s the perfect time to grab those last-minute holiday gifts or stock up on your favorites.

Thank you for growing with us. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for next year.
