I care about the world we live in and looking after our natural environment and I personally gift-wrap all of my orders.
Gift Boxes – no more:
After a few years with my gift boxes, I have decided they no longer fit my ‘be as sustainable as possible’ ethos.
The black card boxes with see-through PVC lid may continue to be used for display purposes (for example in shops), however they will no longer be used to package my online orders.
Eco Friendly Packaging
All of my handcrafted pieces come lovingly, personally and sustainably packaged by me. Each item is put into a cotton bag, then wrapped in tissue and cord – like a gift, then wrapped in re-used bubble wrap to ensure its safety during transit.
I would love to go plastic free!
However, I still have a huge amount of bubble wrap that I have received over the years, and I reuse this bubble wrap to ensure the jewellery is safe during transit, rather than putting it all into soft plastics recycling.
You can also either reuse it or put it into soft plastics to be recycled.
What you’ll get:
- Your piece of jewellery will come placed on a Curlicue NZ card (printed using environmentally friendly inks)
- An anti-tarnish tab (small square of paper that absorbs moisture)
- Jewellery Care Instructions Card – some simple tips on how to look after your new jewellery. For more information visit Jewellery Care.
- Your item will first be put inside a cotton bag, and
- Then carefully wrapped in silver tissue paper, closed with a eco friendly label
- Re-purposed bubble wrap (that I have already, no new bubble wrap will be bought) to cushion the jewellery or wrap to ensure its safety during transit.
- A recycled plastic courier bag, that can be reused or recycled again with soft plastics.
Premium Gift Wrap
The Curlicue NZ Premium Gift Wrap service can be purchased separately, and includes your gift being wrapped in tissue and wrapping paper, and placed inside a small kete (flax) bag, along with a beautiful handmade gift card – inside of which I will personally hand-write your message. ❤️
The whole item is then wrapped in (recycled) bubble wrap to ensure it’s safe passage whether couriered within NZ or posted overseas.
There are currently eight (8) different picture options for the Handmade Gift Cards (blank on the inside). You may add a personalised message free of charge, simply add your message to the comments box at checkout and I will personally hand write your message into your card and will happily send it directly to the recipient on your behalf.
No invoices or receipts are ever included with purchases, to save paper and make gift-giving hassle free!
